Bookmark Manager


Description:

This command allows the user to create and manage spatial bookmarks and lists them in alphabetical order.
The class for the Bookmark Manager implements the ICommand interface. To create any type of command in Visual Basic for use in ArcInfo, you need to implement ICommand.
The bitmap for the command is loaded from a resource file that is included in the Visual Basic project. An alternative way to store the bitmap and cursor is create a VB form and add a PictureBox for the bitmap and a PictureBox for the cursor to it.
