DK11 for ActiveX | TatukGIS_XDK11.ITGIS_LayerVector.GetShape_2 | Methods | Properties

Gets a shape by unique identifier.

Available also on: Delphi | .NET | Java.

// C#
public ITGIS_Shape GetShape_2(
  OleVariant _uid,
  int _cursor
);

' VisualBasic
Public Function GetShape_2(
  ByVal _uid As OleVariant,
  ByVal _cursor As Integer
) As ITGIS_Shape

// Oxygene
public
  function GetShape_2(
    _uid : OleVariant;
    _cursor : Integer
  ) : ITGIS_Shape;

Use this method to get a shape by using its unique id. We can locate a shape by id, change or read its attributes, etc. See example.

When using this operation, never call any function which uses FindFirst..FindNext (any function which iterates through the shapes using it - so never use inside an operation like Locate, PaintScope, etc.).
