MI Allowing user to specify a directory
Hello All, Can anyone tell me if there is a way to allow the user to specify a directory using MapBasic ? Ideally by clicking on the relevant directory in a window showing directory structure. I have a section of code that takes text files of point positions, converts them to MapInfo tables and displays the relevant information as separate layers in a number of maps. At the moment the routine always looks for the files in a specific directory. However, I will soon have a number of directories of user defined name that will contain text files to convert. Not all the directories will need to be used. What I would like is for the user to be able to click on a particular directory and for my MapBasic routine to convert all the files contained in the directory. Is this possible ? Any help with this or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much. Elliot Tinton.

MI Integrated Mapping in Vb 6.0
Dear MI gurus, This is related to Integrated Mapping in Vb 6.0 I had made a drop down menu in my main form which contains namely open table, browser and exit By by clicking on open table menu, Two different maps are opened on two different forms , then click on browser menu to open browser for recently open maps,a mapinfo dialog appears with two options for browser menu.At this stage if you click cancel button immediately next statement is executed and a blank form is visible Problems 1. How can I trace the ok and cancel button of browser Dialog ? 2. Resizing all maps without clicking on maps dosen't work? 3. If I have more than one Maps open on different forms , Which function should I use to get the list of all recently open Maps in a listView or equivalent control. Iam stuck here. Can anybody give me some hints Thanks in advance. Regards, Jayprakash.A ~~~ Jayaprakash Athmaram Products Specialist Group TATA Infotech Ltd Mumbai - 400 059.

RE: DWG Files into MI
Hi Myles, I have done this by the following methods: 1) What is the best method of making the many separate polylines into single closed catchments (aka regions)? Create a new layer called Catchment Poly or something similar and make it editable in the same mapper with your line segments. Select all of the segments that make up a single polygon, copy and paste them into the new map layer. With the lines still selected, do ObjectsCombine. Then Objectsconvert to region. Assuming your polylines were all connected you'll have a polygon. The reason for the pasting into a new file is because you'll need some of the same polylines again for shared borders. This method could be too much work dpending on the dataset complexity, but it is an option. 2) What is the best method of querying the DWG population text into a column of a MI table? The following MapBasic string will do this - also accessible through update column dialog...Add Column "poly" (id) From text Set To objectinfo(text.obj,3) Where intersects 3) What is the best method of doing a "proportional allocation" of the population figures from that files mentioned above to another catchment table that I already have - noting that the boundaries between my existing table and the meshblock table don't always match? Another MapBasic statement, also accessible through update column dialog...you need a pop column in the poly table to fill with the proportional pop values, then try this... Add Column "poly" (pop) From pop Set To proportion sum(pop) Where intersects Good luck.

MI MapInfo - Access
(Forwarded Information Moved to File: ~FWRD_1.txt) Hello, I have been having troubles with my email server, so I will repeat my question. My apologies to those who have received this already. I have a question about Access and MapInfo's relationship. Curious enough when I open an Access table in MapInfo, without making changes or additions, then close the TAB file and then open in the Access database, MapInfo had added a column MapInfo Index. Why is this happening and is there anyway to prevent this? TIA Peter McPherson Text - character set unknown
MI Creating points in a table using MapBasic
Hello users, I am currently involved in a project that uses VB6 to run commands from MapInfo. The problem I have is that although I know how to create points for a table of geocoded data in MapInfo I cannot replicate this within a MapBasic program. I need to write a MapBasic program that will run through all the records in the table to create points using eastings (col4) and northings (col5). This will then update the table used to create points of a certain style. I appreciate all your help and look forward to your reply. Cheers David.C.

MI/MB: Text object orientation
Hi, I had to import a .e00 file containing text objects. Many of them had an orientation. Now, I need to know this orientation so I can put it in anew field which will be used later for labeling purpose (in order to give the labels the same orientation as the text objects). So, my question is: How can I achieve that through MapInfo or MapBasic? Thanks in advance for your answers, Jeff Lepine [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ideally by clicking on the relevant directory in a window showing directory structure. Hi Elliot, Boy, that's quite a return address you have there! But I digress... The way I solved this problem was to create a function called GetDir() that presents a dialog box that lets the user search drives and paths and returns either a fully-specified directory path or a null string. Underneath this, I use the following Windows API types/functions: define MAX_PATH 260 define INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE -1 Type FILETIME dwLowDateTime As integer dwHighDateTime As integer End Type Type WIN32_FIND_DATA dwFileAttributes As integer ftCreationTime As FILETIME ftLastAccessTime As FILETIME ftLastWriteTime As FILETIME nFileSizeHigh As integer nFileSizeLow As integer dwReserved0 As integer dwReserved1 As integer cFileName As String * MAX_PATH cAlternate As String * 14 End Type declare function GetLogicalDriveString32 lib "kernel32" alias "GetLogicalDriveStringsA" ( byval nBufferLength as integer, sBuffer() as integer) as integer Declare Function FindFirstFile Lib "kernel32" Alias "FindFirstFileA" ( ByVal lpFileName As String, lpFindFileData As WIN32_FIND_DATA) As integer Declare Function FindNextFile Lib "kernel32" Alias "FindNextFileA" ( ByVal hFindFile As integer, lpFindFileData As WIN32_FIND_DATA) As integer Declare Function FindClose Lib "kernel32" Alias "FindClose" ( ByVal hFindFile As Integer) As Integer These don't let you search the desktop, network neighborhood or the other "new" Win95 paths (if anyone knows how to get to those, please enlighten me!), but if you set up a mapped network drive, these functions will work with that as though it was a regular drive. The trick in gathering up only directory entries after calling FindFirstFile() or FindNextFile() is to check the dwFileAttributes element in the returned WIN32_FIND_DATA file type and if it is 16, that "file" is a directory. You'll need one of those whopping big WinAPI books to understand all the details (I'm using the "Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the Windows API" by Dan Appleman), but if you want to extend MapBasic's reach into places you didn't think it could go, this is a worthwhile investment.

RE: MI Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 10:02:26 -0500
I would use Update Column from the Table menu. MI allows you to take data from "hidden" fields and transfer it to viewable columns. These are the same data fields that report the area of a region when you double click on it. I needed to update my parcel table so I went ahead and did this. Below is the text copied from the mapbasic window after I completed the dialogue boxes from SQL select and Update Column. My parcel table already has a field to hold the area data, called Estimated_Acres. You should have (add) a column in your table to hold the area data you will be taking from MI. Select * from Parcels where RecordStatus = "A" into Selection Browse * From Selection My parcel table contains other objects, such as notes, old subdivision plat lines that are no longer property lines, etc. so I selected only the objects that have an "A" (for active) from the RecordStaus Field, this became Query3. I had to work from this query because I encountered an error msg when I tried to directly update the column with the area function, I assumed that MI didn't like the other objects in the table. Add Column "Query3" (Area_obj___acre__ Float)From Parcels Set To Area(obj, "acre") Where COL1 = COL1 Dynamic Browse * From Query3 This was scripted from the Table menuUpdate Column (above). You are adding a temp column to Query 3 that will be the value of the expression Area(obj, "acre") from the parcel table (the parent of query3), you could use "sq mi" instead of "acre" Update Query3 Set Estimated_Acres = Area_obj___acre__ Browse * From Query3 This transfers the data in the temp column to the permanent column Estimated_Acres. Its called Estimated because it's the area as drawn - misdrawn parcels produce inaccurate areas William Woodruff Zoning Administrator Charter Township of Union, T14 N R4W, Isabella County, Michigan (517) 772 4600 ext 41, FAX (517) 773 1988 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of David Eagle Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2000 12:01 PM To: Lathrop, Travis Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: MI Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 10:02:26 -0500 Travis, Go to the drop down menu Map and then select Options at the bottom of the menu...Change the Area Units to Square Miles and select OK.

MI projecting on the fly
It was my understanding that vector coverages in different projections can be mixed willy-nilly, technically speaking, within a map window, and each would be reprojected on-the-fly to that windows projection as defined by the raster base projection. In a discussion with technical support at a company that supplies several MI add-ons, I was told I was mistaken. Rather, that on-the-fly projection only correctly occurs if the various vectors are all in lat/long. What? That makes on-the-fly projection a very limited feature, indeed. The User's Guide only indicates on-the-fly reprojection to be a problem in processing time, not in mapping. Your clarification of this point will be greatly appreciated.

RE: MI creating points from centroids
Hi Sidney It's pretty simple actually - just a few steps. 1) Make a copy of your original table - use File | Save Copy As 2) Close the original and open the copy 3) Use the Table | Maintenance | Table Structure command to add two columns to your new table - call them X and Y and set the type to Decimal 16, 8 4) Use the Table | Update Column command to get the centroid information into the new columns - you'l do this twice, once for X and once for Y. Pick your table, select the X or Y column and then, for the Value field, type either CentroidX(obj) or CentroidY(obj). 5) Save your table 6) Select Table | Maintenance | Table Structure and select your table. Uncheck the "Table Is Mappable" option and click "Ok". You have just removed the map objects from your table. 7) Select Table | Create Points, select your table, make sure the X and Y columns are set correctly, and click Ok. You now have a map of points representing the centroids of the polygons you started with.

MI copy file in mapbasic
List, In MapBasic I am trying to copy a .dbf file (it is a Goldmine file) from one directory to another, yet it seems something is locking this operation out, producing an error in the code: FirstFile="f:\programs\goldmine\pmg\contact1.dbf" Save File FirstFile as "C:\GMTest\loc_contact1.dbf" I am able to manually copy these files from one place to the other using Explorer. As far as I can tell no one is even using Goldmine at run time. Any Ideas? Is there any better way to copy files from within MapBasic? The reason I am trying to do this is because MapInfo cannot open a .dbf table if someone else is accessing it through Goldmine (kind of a pseudo ODBC type of thing)but I at least think I could copy the file to another place even and then open it even if it is being used?
