一、准备
Google Earth提供了个人免费版、Plus版、Pro版,个人开发只安装个人免费版就可以了,如果需要更多的功能,那么只有每年上交$400购买专业版了
到目前为止,GoogleEarth的二次开发接口还比较少,功能太弱,仅仅提供了1.0的类库。
GoogleEarth COM API参考文档可以在这里找到:http://earth.google.com/comapi/index.html
C#调用COM的参考资料多如牛毛,大家可以到网上搜一下
二、例子
这里提供一个利用VS2008 + Google Earth 5.0开发一个“Hello world”程序
首先,确保已经正确安装GE,打开VS2008 ,新建一个Windows应用程序项目,在“项目”菜单中选择“添加引用…”,切换到“COM”选项卡,选择“Google Earth 1.0 Type Library”,其实就是Google Earth的主程序
在项目的引用中你可以看到已经添加了一个EARTHLib的引用,然后我们就可以调用其中的接口进行开发了。
下面就是小例子的代码(功能很简单,只有三个,打开GE,然后让GE保存一张截图,然后可以打开这个截图看看。呵呵)

继《C#调用GoogleEarth Com API开发(一)》,我Neil又带给大家第二篇文章。这一篇文章在第一篇的基础上,展示如何调用Windows API将GoogleEarth的界面隐藏掉,并将GoogleEarth的地图显示在自定义的窗体上。废话少说,直接上代码。
