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
