The function GetLayerType from MapWindow is a good example of how to retrieve a layer type from the ActiveX control. A similar approach can be used in VB6 I
believe, although I couldn't tell you the exact syntax differences. It's been a while...

Friend Function GetLayerType(ByVal LayerHandle As Integer) As MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType

Dim lyrObj As Object
lyrObj = frmMain.MapMain.get_GetObject(LayerHandle)
If lyrObj Is Nothing Then
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.Invalid
Exit Function
End If
If TypeOf lyrObj Is MapWinGIS.Shapefile Then
Dim sf As MapWinGIS.Shapefile = CType(lyrObj, MapWinGIS.Shapefile)
Select Case sf.ShapefileType
Case MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POLYGON, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POLYGONM, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POLYGONZ
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.PolygonShapefile
Case MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POINT, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POINTM, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POINTZ
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.PointShapefile
Case MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POLYLINE, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POLYLINEM, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_POLYLINEZ
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.LineShapefile
Case MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_MULTIPOINT, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_MULTIPOINTM, MapWinGIS.ShpfileType.SHP_MULTIPOINTZ
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.PointShapefile
Case Else
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.Invalid
End Select
ElseIf TypeOf lyrObj Is MapWinGIS.Image Then
If frmMain.Legend.Layers.ItemByHandle(m_LayerHandle).Type = CType(MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.Grid, Integer) Then
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.Grid
Else
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.Image
End If
Else
Return MapWindow.Interfaces.eLayerType.Invalid
End If
End Function

I hope that helps!
