New Post: Sample C++ example

The easiest and in my opinion best option is to create a plug-in that will do your custom processes.
Then you will have full access to all features of MapWindow without the need to recreate them.

We have a template plug-in you can use: http://svn.mapwindow.org/svnroot/MapWindow4Dev/SampleTestPlugins/TemplatePluginVS2008/
