New Post: Map control events in VBA

Hi, first of all please check if you have handler for Map.ChooseLayer event anywhere in your code. In case you handle it, e.g.

private void MapChooseLayer(object sender, _DMapEvents_ChooseLayerEvent e)
{
    e.layerHandle = legend.SelectedLayer;    // or any other source of active layer
}

you won't have SelectBoxFinal event. To have the event in this case one needs:

private void MapChooseLayer(object sender, _DMapEvents_ChooseLayerEvent e)
{
    if (map.CursorMode != cmSelection)     // exclude selection cursor
    {
        e.layerHandle = legend.SelectedLayer;
    }
}

But generally if you just need to change Shapefile.ShapeSelected property, I'd recommend to use ChooseLayer event, it will select shapes just fine, i.e. do the job for you.

Other than that I believe there is no other preconditions to have the SelectBoxFinal event fired as you've already set SendSelectBoxFinal to true. It is also fired by our demo app after I changed ChooseLayer handler like described above.

Hope it helps,
Sergei
