Updated Wiki: Documentation

MapWinGIS is ActiveX MFC control to display geospatial data and a number of ATL classes to support the interaction with various datasources. The support for the larger part of both raster and vector formats is provided by GDAL library. A few formats are supports natively: ESRI Shapefiles, BMP images, some binary grids. There is also built-in support for commonly used tile map services (TMS) like OpenStreetMap. Compared  to other projects MapWinGIS provides both high performance due to native C++ code and the ease of use in various programming languages (COM), but generally it's limited to Windows desktop applications. Here are some code sample to give a feel of the API, links to the detailed API reference are given below.

// display tiles for the map
axMap1.Projection = tkMapProjection.PROJECTION_GOOGLE_MERCATOR;

axMap1.TileProvider = tkTileProvider.OpenStreetMap;
new GlobalSettings {ReprojectLayersOnAdding = true};

// adding your own dataint layerHandle = axMap1.AddLayerFromFilename(@"d:\my_data.shp",                            tkFileOpenStrategy.fosAutoDetect, true);
var sf = axMap1.get_Shapefile(layerHandle);

if (sf != null) {   
     // do some manipulation with shapefile
}
