Hi,How can I use code to identify whether a point was added using the GPS or the stylus? Right now, when a user creates a new point with the stylus, an attribute value from an underlying shapefile at that location is stored in a variable and then entered in a control on another shapefile. The stylus method works fine, but I need to allow the user to add a new point using the GPS tool. I was thinking of using an If...then statement, but I don't know how to recognize X/Y coordinates collected using a stylus vs. GPS. I use the following code for the stylus:cRS.BookMark=Application.Map.SelectionBookmark
Set cShape=cRS.Fields.Shape
...
...
gRec=gRS.FindNearestXY(cShape.x, cShape.y)
To determine if the point was added with a stylus or GPS I tried the following, but the stylus method always returns the value of where the GPS is currently located and not where the stylus was tapped.If GPS.x>0 then
dblX=GPS.x
dblY=GPS.y
Else
cRS.BookMark=Application.Map.SelectionBookmark
Set cShape=cRS.Fields.Shape
End If
...
...
If GPS.x>0 then '
gRec=gRS.FindNearestXY(GPS.x, GPS.y) '
Else '
gRec=gRS.FindNearestXY(cShape.x, cShape.y)
End If '
My intent is to allow the user to collect a point with a stylus even when the GPS receiver is on. IsValidFix and IsOpen automatically generate GPS.x and GPS.y when I want to wait until the user taps the GPS point button before populating GPS.x and GPS.y. I thought about the OnPosition event, but know how to use that in code. Any guidance would be appreciated.Thanks,Charlotte
