I agree.
The standard thing to do is to set a trigger control on the Tables
selector so that the Columns box updates every time the user clicks on a
table name.
I believe there is sample code for this in the MapBasic library.

MI Arrrows as TT font (not North arrows)

1999-08-31 Thread Steve Smith



Could anybody recommend a True Type font set, suitable for use with MapInfo,
which has a variety of arrow styles? I need left and right turn arrows, and
U-turn arrows (two versions, mirror images of one another). I also need to be
able to indicate a start point with an arrow. The arrows should be simple in
style, not fancy. Ideally these would all be of similar style and located in a
single font set.

I have located some possible arrows scattered across font sets but not a
complete set of suitable arrows in the same font set.

If possible, could you please include details of the distributor if you know of
any such set?

Please email suggestions and solutions direct to   [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Thank you

Ben,
How about just creating a dialog that has both Table names and columns in 
it.
So if user clicks on one table, handler would populate columns in  column 
list box
I would think that would be more ideal than to have two separate dialogs to 
operate with, unless second dialog has quite bit of user input info.

Let me know

MI creating back buttons with mapbasic

1999-08-31 Thread Humphrey, Ben

Hello all-

I am currently building a small tool that:

brings up a dialog with a popupmenu containing all open tables
You select your table and press "OK"

Pressing OK calls a subprocedure which brings up another dialog that shows
all column names within that table.

I want to create a "back button" (for the user who hypothetically says
"whoops! I chose the wrong table...) on the second dialog so that it is
removed and the dialog with the popupmenu allows them to choose a different
table.

So far I can call the procedure again which spawns a new window with the
popup dialog, but does not remove the dialog with the column names.  So if I
kept pressing back on the windows that pop up it is essentially a recursive
function

Any ideas?

RE: MI default units

1999-08-31 Thread Sue Port

Hi Blair,

To make the distance and area functions default to kilometers issue the following
two commands before running your SQL statement:

Set Distance Units "km"
Set Area Units "sq km"

To run these commands automatically every time you start MapInfo, put them in
a workspace called StartUp.wor in your MapInfo directory (The directory where
MapInfow.EXE is located).

Although these commands change the defaults for functions it won't unfortunately
change the default units of a mapper.

Hope this helps.

Sue.

Re: MI Help!!! Buffer mania

1999-08-31 Thread climber

If you want both the 30 miles outside buffer and the county of fresno
you should use:
- TURN ON EDITABILITY AND SELECTABILITY OF: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- QUERY
- SELECT ALL FROM: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- OBJECTS
- SET TARGET: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- OBJECTS
- LAYER CONTROL
- TURN OFF EDITABILITY AND SELECTABILITY OF: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- QUERY
- SELECT ALL FROM: Frenso (layer)
- OBJECTS
- COMBINE
- SAVE COPY AS: 30_mile_buffer (layer)
- NEW LAYER
- NAME IT: Fresno_buffer_comp.tab
Then use the boundary select tool to select all the zip code point
objects within the new polygon (30_mile_buffer and frenso composite
polygon) "Fresno_buffer_comp.tab to get all your zip codes within a 30
mile buffer and within the county of frenso.

Nope, but you can rotate the Map window in MapInfo 5.0 (and up), you can
also get ROTATE.ZIP from the MapInfo-L MapBasic utilities section and
use that to rotate things.

Re: MI opening .txt tables as ASCII Delimited

1999-08-31 Thread climber

You can do the same thing with Excel or Quattro Pro, and save in XLS
format or dBase IV format, watch the length of field names though if
you're using dBase, there's a limit of 9 character for the field name so
name the fields uniquely in the first 9 characters.

Re: MI opening .txt tables as ASCII Delimited

Good morning

I usually import the .txt file into MS Access
and let it read the 
tab delimited file. Once you have imported
the file into MS Access, save
the database, you can open the MS Access file
in MapInfo. Once the file
is opened in MapInfo, you need to save copy
as this will create a .tab
file that can be manipulated in MapInfo.
Close all files and open the newly
created .tab file.

Hope this solves your problem.

I suspect your problem, not knowing a whole lot about Map Basic's
implementation but having done some programming, is that ROUND works
with the Integer Data type.  I would suggest using TRUNCATE to a certain
decimal number, there may be an option how to truncate which effectively
rounds or cuts off the decimal number.  Then choose the rounds option. 
Check help files or documentation about the truncate function.

MI Polygons and objects within another object

1999-08-31 Thread Talkofsky GS09 Stuart H

I want to determine zip codes (polygons and objects) within a bunch of
boundaries that are territories (larger polygons), thus calculating which
zip codes are within a certain area. I want to say, that if at least >50 %
or the greatest proportion of the zip code (smaller polygon or object) is in
one area (polygon), to be considered within the area or polygon.  Been
searching for help on this but can't seem to find.  Thanks in advance.

MI opening .txt tables as ASCII Delimited

1999-08-31 Thread Alistair Hart

Good Morning, Evening and Night (Depending on where you are!).

Does anyone have much experience with ASCII Delimited files?

I have some .txt files that are Tab delimited (it has a Tab delimiting its fields) and 
I have imported this table as an ASCII Delimited file.

My problem is that MapInfo isn't recognising the Tabs and all the line is being 
displayed in one field!

Is there a better way to include this data as a mapInfo table or do I have to 'update 
column' to create separate field from this information?

Thanks In Advance,

Alistair Hart
