Never mind, I worked it out.
Here's a snippet if anyone's interested:
-------------------------------------------------------------
var
oMI, oMBX : Variant;
sMBXrunning : string;
i, iMBXcount : smallint;
begin
try
//Attempt to connect to an existing iMapPRO session.
oMI := getActiveOLEobject('MapInfo.Application');
iMBXCount := oMI.MBApplications.Count;
for i := 1 to iMBXcount do begin
oMBX := oMI.MBApplications.Item(i);
sMBXrunning := oMBX.Name;
showMessage('MBX(' + intToStr(i) + ') = ' + sMBXrunning);
end;
except
ShowMessage('MapInfo not running');
End; //try
End;

Subject: MI-L MB / Delphi / OLE - Seeing MBX variables from within Delphi
Greetings List,
I'm trying to examine MBX variables from within Delphi.
In the MIL archives there's a few examples on how to do this in VisBasic,
however I'm having problems converting the syntax to work in Delphi.
If anyone could help that would be great!
Here's what I got so far (not much):
------------------------------------------------------
Var
oMI, oMBX : variant;
Begin
oMI := getActiveOLEobject('MapInfo.Application');
oMBX := oMI.MBApplications;
//Now I need to check for the presence of and
//somehow connect to "MyApp.MBX"
//And then I would like to see variable "TheMBXvariable"
end;
------------------------------------------------------
Also if anyone knows of any reference material that explains methods and
properties encapsulated in the "MBApplications" object (with a Delphi
flavour) I would be happy to hear from you too.
Thanks,
