This is a standard MapLinker feature. You can configure mappers and drill
downs through the standard user interface without programming. Sorry it is
not a freeware solution - but perhaps still cheaper than buying MapBasic.
We do much of our programming in C++ and VB, but we still need a little
MapBasic to link the dll or com objects into MapInfo Pro. Your other
programming option is the MapX OCX which you can talk to directly from VB,
but you do have to custom program all the menus and buttons.
