Is there any possibility in MapWinGIS to export the current rectangle displayed in TMap in vector emf format?

Not directly.

You can use one of the various [SnapShot](https://www.mapwindow.org/documentation/mapwingis4.9/class_ax_map.html#a69d4d4aa61771a2222eb2854eba5dc73) methods to extract the current map extent (or custom extents).

This returns a raster Image object, but perhaps you could use the Picture property (returning a stdole.IPictureDisp) and figure out a way (or see if someone else has figured out a way) to convert the image to the EMF vector format?
