Hi,
I am having a problem with using the Layout window in Mapinfo. I have a
VB Application with a map window in it and I have a Print button which
when pressed brings up a new form with the layout window in it all this
is fine. But when I close the layout window and try to use some of the
tools in the main window they do not work. The marquee tool does not
work correctly because it is still trying to refer to the Layout window
as opposed to the main window. I have tried setting the mapwindow as the
front etc as illustrated in the following code
numberwindows = goMapinfo.Eval("numwindows()")
For x = 1 To numberwindows
msg = "windowid( " & x & ")"
winid = goMapinfo.Eval(msg)
msg = "windowinfo( " & winid & "," & WIN_INFO_TYPE & ")"
typeofwindow = goMapinfo.Eval(msg)
If typeofwindow = 3 Then
layoutid = winid
ElseIf typeofwindow = 1 Then
mapid = winid
End If
Next
goMapinfo.Do "Close window " & layoutid
Unload Me
goMapinfo.Do "set window " & mapid & " front"
goMapinfo.Do "set application window " & frmMain.picMap.hwnd
This does not work however any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
