hi. i am using vb.net and mapwingis 5.2. i need to know closest shape to a point and coordinate of nearest point on shape by using shapefile.GetClosestSnapPosition(x, y, MaxDistance,byref shapeindex, byref newX, byref newY, byref Distance). Distance & newX & newY works properly but ShapeIndex always returns -1.
Hello @ahmoradpour and welcome.
I’m sorry, but I looked at the source code, and this is a relatively new function that someone added, and is not fully implemented. It is returning -1 because it is initialized to -1 and never set to the resulting shape index. But there are other problems in this method as well, so it is not a one-line fix; I’ll have to do some debugging to resolve it.
Can you use GetClosestVertex? I understand that this may not be what you’re looking for, but perhaps it will help in the interim.
Regards,
Jerry.

shapefile.GetClosestVertex also returns Wrong ShapeIndex in first/last vertex of a PolyLine if polylines are sequentially attached.

@jerryfaust and @ahmoradpour: Is this still an issue with the latest version: MapWinGIS v5.3?
If so I will create a JIRA issue for this.
Yes, this is still an issue. Thank you.
I created [MWGIS-261] sf.GetClosestSnapPosition() returns wrong shapeindex and [MWGIS-262] sf.GetClosestVertex returns wrong ShapeIndex
Hello all!
It’s been a year, any news?
