How I can in arcgis Engine get the object on wich I click ?
How I can get X,Y coordinates of that object (using shape field?)?
Thanks for any advice or reference!

Hi, this might not be perfect, but may be a start for you. The first function gets the selected feature (only one allowed) and stores it in pFeat. The second function is passed pFeat, and calculates decimal degrees. You can see in the second function that I have set the coord system to use, so you could report the coordinates of To and From points (starting and ending points) in any units you wish. The working coordinate system for this project is always an UTM zone (PCS). Thanks goes out to Neil C. for a previous post that helped me with this!

I apologize, there is no indenting.

Cheers

Re: How I can get object of the map document when I click on it?

Thank you very much!
And what about to get attribute of the point(poligon) in some layer after click on the correspond symbol ?
(I work in .NET +c#+arcgis Engine) . On axMapControl on layer1 (point or polygon) there is some symbols. When operator click on some symbol I need to get attributes of the corresponding point (poligon). Can't I? What event handler I must use? What property of the axMapControl or event handler may give information about corresponding point(poligon)?

Can anyone say what to read - about what kind of event I must to use, how I can get Selected layer?
Thank you for any reference!
