>>Are MapXtreme run-time licenses the same price as MapX? No it's double up of the MapX licenses. Also remenber that you have to rewrite 200% of the old MapX app. 100 % for the code and 100% for the design since the object model is new. Mvh. | Regards

I guess we have no choice but to move up to MapXtreme (and forget supporting the old system), and given the amount of distribution we need, the cost of MapInfo licenses for integrated mapping is just not viable. Are MapXtreme run-time licenses the same price as MapX?

MapInfo Runtime should also be an option. If you are truly locked into that kind of hardware, .NET is not an option. With 32 MB RAM I don't even think W2K or XP is an option. And Win98 isn't supported by MS either ! Your best bet is either sticking with mapX or finding some other 3rd party mapping component that fulfills your mapping needs. There are many available - also quite a few that will read TAB files: Cartovcl, tatukgis, geoobjects and possibly more. If you require editing TAB files, it could be harder.

Looks like we're gonna have to start using MapXtreme2004 for our future projects. Question(s). As I have mentioned, we currently use MapX. Problem is, MapX is not supported in two years, so we need to move to a new product. MapXtreme2004 using VC.NET is the obvious choice, but I'm concerned (apart from having no .NET experience) about performance and the effort required to port our MapX system. We happily run our MapX system on an embedded 133MHz, 32MB pentium system with Win98. Unfortunately the hardware can't change, although we can go to Win2K or XP. What sort of performance issues are going to arise from running MapXtreme applications on such a dated system? Can it run at all? Are there alternatives to MapXtreme? Ta kindly.

What is the licensing situation when creating an application like this? Does each application that is distributed require a full mapinfo license? -----Original Message----- From: Uffe Kousgaard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 January 2005 11:27 To: Mapinfo-L Subject: Re: MI-L Integrating MapInfo Pro Hi Tim, MapBasic includes lots of samples on how to do this (integrated mapping). Of course these samples should have been supplied with MapInfo itself since they do not require mapbasic. There are also 2 mfc based samples. Kind regards Uffe Kousgaard www.routeware.dk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2005 12:13 PM Subject: MI-L Integrating MapInfo Pro Hi list, I currently use MapX and noticed some interesting statements on the MapBasic product page on the MI web site (see below). Does this mean that I can create a window in my Visual C++ application (as I do with MapX) and display maps and control them using the same functions as MapBasic, but via OLE? How does this work? Has anyone done what the following passage claims is possible? I'm particularly interested in the two statements; "Control MapInfo Professional through OLE Automation" and "Program in development environments of your choice. If you're a C++ programmer, you can do all of your coding in C++". Cheers for any help! >From http://extranet.mapinfo.com/products/Overview.cfm?productid=1063 "Integrate MapInfo Professional MapBasic allows you to work in the programming languages you are most familiar with and integrates the optimal amount of mapping functionality into applications. Another advantage to the Integrated Mapping feature is even as MapInfo Professional is running in the background, it remains as a hidden server to the application - allowing the end user to see only one application interface. The Integrated Mapping feature also lets you control MapInfo Professional through popular development tools such as Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi and C++, giving you the ability to: *Control MapInfo Professional through OLE Automation *Add mapping to your Visual Basic application with as little as five lines of code *Create MapInfo windows inside other custom programs. For instance, you can create a MapInfo Professional window inside your Visual Basic form. Integrated Mapping allows you to 'reparent' MapInfo Professional windows so they look and act like part of your Visual Basic (or other language) interface. *If you've been wanting to add 'a little bit of mapping' to your custom applications, this is the tool for the job *Program in development environments of your choice. If you're a C++ programmer, you can do all of your coding in C++ " --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14920 --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14922 ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
