[This example](https://www.mapwindow.org/documentation/mapwingis4.9/_show_attributes_8cs-example.html) shows how to identify a shape within a layer, and get it’s properties. You can also get it’s Shape, and extract the x, y coordinate. Note that the above example is based on hovering, using the Identify feature. There is also a way to [Select features](https://www.mapwindow.org/documentation/mapwingis4.9/group __shapefile__ selection.html) using the mouse click, but we don’t have a published example of that. If it helps, I may be able to come up with an example. Hope this can get you started. Regards, Jerry. ---

Hello @SandMan88 Sorry for the delayed response. I built a simple app almost identical to your example, and I’m able to run. So I’m guessing that there’s perhaps some fundamental issue, perhaps with the map control settings or something. **Would you mind zipping up your entire sample project so that I can try it here?** You don’t have to send your data, I can use one of my shapefiles. Regards, Jerry. ---

I think the problem is in the following line: ``` sf.get_Shape(e.shapeIndex).get_XY(0, ref x, ref y); ``` You correctly use `e.shapeIndex` to get the shape, but the point within the shape will always be at index 0. Jerry. ---

You would use the [EditAddField](https://www.mapwindow.org/documentation/mapwingis4.9/group __shapefile__ table.html#ga158f17d91bd1ffc32332fd64df224be5) call. And you need to wrap it in the sf.StartEditingTable and sf.StopEditingTable calls. ---
