ET GeoWizards Scripting
The scripting implementation of the ET GeoWizards was introduced in 2004 (version 9.0) to allow using the functionality of the software in VBA. ArcGIS 10.1 drops the VBA environment as customization option. As a result of this the new functions introduced in ET GeoWizards 10.1 and above will not be available in the scripting implementation. The existing functionality however will be still available and will be supported in ET GeoWizards 10.1 and future versions.
The scripting introduced in ET GeoWizards 9.0 allows many of the functions of the software (available previously only via the Graphic User Interface of the software) to be used within user scripts written in the ArcGIS VBA environment or any language that supports COM.
With only few lines of code the user can now perform complex spatial operations (a combinations of the functions available in ET GeoWizards), batch operation etc.
The examples in this chapter are presented in the VBA environment of ArcGIS taking into consideration the fact that the developers using any COM compliant language will need just the descriptions of the methods in order to include the functions of ET GeoWizards in their applications.
The examples provided with each of the functions are fully functional routines. The users need to change only a couple of parameters to make them suitable for their needs.
