- Learning Resources

The following resources may be of help when learning programming for Bentley Map:

• The Standard Operation Library delivered with Bentley Map. It is called xfmStdOpsLib.mvba and is located in the .../Maps/vba installation folder. This mvba file contains serveral working examples that you can use and study. 

• Another VBA example is example.mvba which can be found in  .../geo_example/designer/vba. The VBA project file is designed to be used within the workspaces geo_example_designer and geo_example_dialogs. The schema is located in  .../geo_example/xml/schema.

• If you are a partner of the Bentley Development Network (BDN) or current SELECT subscriber,  you can request and obtain access to additional information available in the online "Bentley Map - Development and Product Customization Guide". If interested, please use the Geospatial Desktop Platform Account Request Form listing Jeff Bielefeld as the Bentley contact.  Once approved, you will be granted access to the Geospatial Desktop Platform extranet site which hosts the new "Bentley Map - Development and Product Customization Guide" an online resource for anyone interested in learning more about customizing or developing applications for the Bentley Map product line.
