应用MapX控件实现查询的功能并不太难。MapX为我们提供了Find、FindFeature等对象，可以用来实现我们需要的功能：）

1、本程序实现从下列表中选择一个节点，并以此节点为中心进行进行定位的功能（实例以第一层RTUName属性的值进行查询）

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim FindObj As MapXLib.Find
    Dim FoundFeature As FindFeature
    '从要查询的RTU图层生成Find对象，并为这个对象设置要查询的FindDataSet、FindField属性
    Set FindObj = Form1.Map1.Layers.Item(1).Find
    Set FindObj.FindDataset = Form1.Map1.DataSets("RTU节点" & " dataset")
    Set FindObj.FindField = FindObj.FindDataset.Fields("RTUName")
   
    Set FoundFeature = FindObj.Search(Combo1.Text)
     
    Me.Hide
    ' 关掉AutoRedraw是因为CenterX(Y)的改变就要刷新图层，AutoRedraw打开的话会造成二次刷新
    Form1.Map1.AutoRedraw = False
    Form1.Map1.CenterX = FoundFeature.CenterX
    Form1.Map1.CenterY = FoundFeature.CenterY
    Form1.Show
   
End Sub

2、把上面的程序稍微改写一下，实现按照用户输入的字段进行查询定位的功能：

Private Sub Command2_Click()

    Dim FindObj As MapXLib.Find
    Dim FoundFeature As FindFeature
    '从要查询的RTU图层生成Find对象，并为这个对象设置要查询的FindDataSet、FindField属性
    Set FindObj = Form1.Map1.Layers.Item(1).Find
    Set FindObj.FindDataset = Form1.Map1.DataSets("RTU节点" & " dataset")
    Set FindObj.FindField = FindObj.FindDataset.Fields("RTUName")
          
    Set FoundFeature = FindObj.Search(Text1.Text)
     
    If FoundFeature.FindRC Mod 10 = 1 Or FoundFeature.FindRC Mod 10 = 2 Then
        Me.Hide
        ' 关掉AutoRedraw是因为CenterX(Y)的改变就要刷新图层，AutoRedraw打开的话会造成二次刷新
        Form1.Map1.AutoRedraw = False
        Form1.Map1.CenterX = FoundFeature.CenterX
        Form1.Map1.CenterY = FoundFeature.CenterY
        Form1.Show
    Else
        MsgBox "不存在该RTU节点！"
    End If
 
End Sub
