The question:

MI Pro?
>What we have in mind is a VB program that launches an instance of ProViewer
and then successively opens workspaces in this instance of ProViewer via the
VB routine.

resembles or differs from integrating a MI Pro instance into a VB program.

Got two replies:
Trey Pattillo: suggests to open ProViewer via the command line with the
workspace as a parameter ("C:\Program Files\...\MapInfor.exe
D:\...\My_Workspace.wor")
Patrick Phillips: suggests that I create the ProViewer object in VB as
MapInfo.Runtime instead of MapInfo.Application
I tested Patrick's suggestion with the following script in VB:
Option Explicit
Global ProViewer As Object
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Instantiate ProViewer
Set ProViewer = CreateObject("MapInfo.Runtime")
ProViewer.do "Set Application Window " & Form1.hWnd
' Reparent next map window
ProViewer.do "Set Next Document Parent " & Form1.hWnd & "
Style 1"
ProViewer.do "Open Table ""D:\Bgr\Bgn_40\Que_RTS\Que_RTS""
Interactive"
ProViewer.do "Map From Que_RTS"
execute it, and get the following error message: "MapInfo ProViewer does
not support integrated mapping", thereby establishing Trey's assertion.
I will therefore have to launch ProViewer from the command line.
Thanks Trey and Patrick for your help.
