Need help with MapWinGIS (5.3) in vb.NET (VS2017)

MapWinGIS

Hi there,
I have basics of my wanted functionality running but now I am stuck with following problems:

  1. there is some “autoZoom” when adding a new layer that I want to get rid as there is .ZoomToLayer() if needed
  2. somehow I get “0” as layerHandle for every layer I add. At the moment I first load a .shp from file, then some polygons from database, followed by a point from given coordinates; all returning with 0 for layerHandle on addLayer().

please advise

once I sorted out my problems with “LayerHandle” variables, problems were solved.
caveat: initialize your (public/global) LayerHandle variables to -1 if not using like
Dim LayerHandle as integer = AxMap1.addLayer()
