The CEDRA Corporation is pleased to announce the release of
the Second Edition of Avenue WrapsTM.
ISBN 0-9722631-0-1. A new publication comprised of 608 pages,
Avenue Wraps offers detailed information describing the process
of how Avenue code can be converted into Visual Basic® or
Visual Basic for Applications code under the ArcGIS 8.x or ArcGIS
9.x platforms, as well as, how new ArcGIS applications can be
developed using the Avenue Wraps software. The second edition
of Avenue Wraps contains: (a) 73 new "wraparounds",
(b) support for personal geodatabase manipulation, (c) compatability
with the ArcGIS 9.x ArcObjects environment and (d) full access
to all of the Visual Basic code comprising the Avenue Wraps software.
In addition, the Avenue Wraps 2nd Edition CD includes the CEDRA-ArcView3-Tools and the CEDRA-Callout-Tools
toolbars. The CEDRA-ArcView3-Tools toolbar offers a number of
selection tools which "stream-line" the user's interaction
with ArcMap, increasing productivity by at least 30%. The CEDRA-Callout-Tools provides functionality
for the creation of Balloon, Line and Banner callouts. These toolbars
are a free bonus which are included with the Avenue Wraps 2nd
Edition CD.
The Avenue Wraps 2nd Edition book contains a description of the
"wraparounds" for more than 300 of the most popular
Avenue requests. A complete list of the available "wraparounds"
is presented in the Table of Contents listing shown below. Note
that when we use the word "wraparound", what is meant
is that the Avenue request has been converted into Visual Basic
in the form of a subroutine or a function, thereby eliminating
the need for the developer to write the ArcObjectsTM
code to simulate the function of the Avenue request. The developer
simply substitutes the name of the Avenue Wraps "wraparound"
for the Avenue request.
The Avenue Wraps 2nd Edition CD includes the Visual Basic project
file (avwraps.vbp) that builds the Avenue Wraps DLL (avwraps.dll).
The developer is able to modify the project file as desired or
simply extract those portions which are of interest and incorporate
them into his or her own application. The book and CD can be ordered
together or the CD can be ordered separately. Since the reader
has full access to all of the Visual Basic code which comprises
the Avenue Wraps software, a developer can: (a) use the software
as is, (b) modify any or all of the software, or (c extract those
portions which are of interest to the developer.
Those who purchased the Avenue Wraps 1st Edition should note that
the "wraparounds" in that edition will only function
with the ArcGIS 8.x environment. When ArcGIS 9.x was released
a significant amount of work was required to convert the 8.x "wraparounds"
to function in the 9.x environment. Should users of the Avenue
Wraps 1st Edition wish to migrate their applications to the ArcGIS
9.x environment, they may: (a) order the Avenue Wraps 2nd Edition
book and CD, or (b) order the 2nd Edition CD only. Note that it
is possible to substitute the 2nd Edition's version of the avwraps.dll
for the 1st Edition's. Some modifications may need to be performed
after the substitution, although they should be minimal, if any.
The Avenue Wraps 2nd Edition book contains a description of the
new "wraparounds" that were introduced during the migration
to the ArcGIS 9.x environment. Depending upon the application,
users may or may not wish to implement these new "wraparounds".
However, if you wish to operate applications that incorporated
the Avenue Wraps 1st Edition "wraparounds" in the ArcGIS
9.x environment, users will need to convert the "wraparounds"
themselves or incorporate the "wraparounds" in the Avenue
Wraps 2nd Edition CD. Click on this link to read a description
of the issues in converting Avenue Wraps 8.x applications to the
9.x environment.
Using Avenue Wraps there is no searching through the ArcObjects Developer Help, no scratching your head as to how to convert GetFTab into the appropriate ArcObjectsTM Property, or how to get the Legend for a Theme.
CEDRA Avenue Wraps has been there, done that, and is ready for you to use.
Discussing general Avenue to VB/VBA syntax differences, Views, Themes, Tables, Selection Sets, Graphic Elements, Querying, Calculating, File I/O operations, Message Boxes, User-Document interaction, Manipulation of Feature Shapes, Legends, Classifications and Application deployment, CEDRA Avenue Wraps contains numerous samples that will cut your conversion effort by more than 70%. CEDRA Avenue Wraps offers Avenue developers a one-to-one mapping between Avenue requests and AvenueWraps "wraparounds". In addition, to being used to convert existing applications, CEDRA Avenue Wraps can be used to develop new applications using an Avenue programming style. Why learn ArcObjects when CEDRA Avenue Wraps provides the one-to-one mapping between Avenue requests and their ArcObjects counter-parts.
Don't leave your Avenue applications behind, use CEDRA Avenue Wraps and migrate your applications to ArcGISTM.
Originally written as a guide for converting Avenue code into VB or VBA code, Avenue Wraps has grown into a tool Avenue and VB programmers can use to develop ArcObjects based applications. Since a developer can mix ArcObjects and Avenue Wraps code, ArcObjects programmers can use the Avenue Wraps as an easier means of performing various programming tasks. That is, new applications can be developed using Avenue Wraps, rather than just migrating existing Avenue code. Since Avenue Wraps is written using ArcObjects, a developer is free to mix Avenue Wraps procedures and native ArcObjects code.
Not in the mood to retype scripts, ELECTRONIC
MEDIA (CD) is available containing CEDRA Avenue Wraps for both
the ArcGIS 8.x and 9.x environments as a Dynamically Linked Library
(.dll). For either ArcGIS 8.x or 9.x, CEDRA Avenue Wraps is immediately
available for Avenue programmers to begin converting their applications.
Users who are solely interested in the CEDRA-ArcView3-Tools toolbar
should order the CEDRA Avenue Wraps 2nd Edition CD.
Note to existing CEDRA Avenue Wraps users,
to migrate their existing 8.x applications to the 9.x environment,
the developer can simply reference the new CEDRA Avenue Wraps
ArcGIS 9.x .dll and execute the ESRI VB6 Code Converter Add-in.

procedures can be used, click here Avenue
Wraps Samples for an extensive list of "how to"
samples. These samples contain listings of how to perform typical
Avenue programming operations. If you are looking for detail information,

Instructions.
Complementing the Avenue Wraps book, The CEDRA Corporation also offers web based training on the use and implementation of the Avenue Wraps procedures. As part of the CEDRA Web Training program, a number of different classes are offered which pertain to the Avenue Wraps book. By clicking on the CEDRA Web Training link you will be able see what courses are offered, how the training program operates and ordering information. Note that the Avenue Wraps class listings and ordering information appear towards the bottom of the web page.
