MI Integrated Mapping
Hi all I am working on a project which uses integrated mapping on VB6. I want to have a toolbutton which when clicked on a polygon, should zoom in that particular polygon. This can be done in mapbasic using the SelChangedHandler. Is this possible thro' Integrated Mapping? Any ideas on where I can locate some good VB/MapInfo Resources on Integrated Mapping. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: MI miles or kilometers
Eric, Yes, the kilometer is the measurement unit used for the roads system here. Primary and secondary state roads (usually two- or four-lanes) connecting the towns have hectometer markers; that's why you might find rural addresses given as "Carr. xyz, km. xy.z". If you see "interior" or "int.", it means the address is found off the main, on a branching road. By the way, gasoline is sold by the liter.

Re: MI Creating a MapInfo Editor in VB
Hello Aine, 1) You need to use GetObject [ole] which will connect to a currently running application - MI CreateObject will create a *new* instance of the app. 2) A little know trick [well over one app is over 10,000 lines of Delphi plus many other apps] TELL MI TO COPY TO THE CLIPBOARD -- MIMap.RunMenuCommand(M_EDIT_COPY) Defined as ID 203 This will *paste* the current record data [tab delimited] and the graphic [object] to the text and graphic areas of the clipboard The use the PasteFromClipBoard procedure of VB [or WinAPI] to put data into a string or edit box You can then parse out each field which is *much* quicker than all the EVAL calls Also you can dynamically create a scroll box with the correct number [field count from MI] edit boxes and labels I haven' t done an VB in about 3 years but it's all there Hope this helps...check the website for a VB example of calling MI plus WinAPI and other goodies Trey Pattillo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wap3.com - Original Message - From: Aine Deery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, 22 May, 2000 08:40 Subject: MI Creating a MapInfo Editor in VB > Hi there, > > I am attempting to create an editor in VB to view/edit point data from > MapInfo.

Re: MI MapInfo Professional JAVA version down the road?
Hmm. Presently, I'm installing Informix/SpatialWare on my Windows NT machine. I was told that the current version of Informix/SpatialWare will not run on Windows 2000. My professor told me that Informix runs on WinNT because of how the file system are located. He said that Win98 system "search" for the files and then display. WinNT just go straight to the database information and pull. Which is why Informix works on NT best because it's faster.

RE: MI MapInfo Professional JAVA version down the road?
While it would be great to see an improvement in speed and performance of MapXtreme Java over existing machine language applications, JAVA code is interpreted (by a VM), and VM technology has to mature far beyond where it is today before JAVA can be a competitor to C++ & Delphi implementations. And yes, multithreaded applications do have SIGNIFICANT advantages over applications that are not multithreaded, but depending on what OS you run, you are limited by the number of processors that a particular OS can support. And as far as seeing MapInfo Professional having multiprocessor support in the near future...Don't hold your breath.

MI SUM lines to polylines question
Hello, Thanks to Keith Campbell, Trey Pattillo, Martin Roundill, and Jim Spriggs for their input. Basically, there were two suggestions: 1- The "Convert to polylines" option in the "Objects" menu. 2- Use the mapbasic window to run these commands: a) type "update selection set object = conterttopline(object)" after selecting all the lines; then b) update the table by typing "update mytable set object = conterttopline(object)". I had already used the first alternative, but got these odd-shaped polygons when converting to regions; that was the reason I thought I was doing something wrong until I found the real problem. The data contained very short lines and polylines (5 meters or less) representing piers, which in some cases were part of a shoreline, in others, they protruded out acting as "dangles". Once I took the latter out (which was not too easy), I selected all the line segments (Str$(obj) = "line"), converted to polylines, and then to regions. Thank you again. Regards, Miguel Iturralde[EMAIL PROTECTED]

They count shorebirds from airplanes. By conducting aerial surveys along coastlines from the Arctic to South America, he can identify the most important habitats used by the birds during their migration. His principal focus is on shorebirds (sandpipers, plovers, etc.), though other groups such as wading birds (egrets, bitterns, etc.) and waterfowl (ducks, geese, etc.) are also counted. “We plot the data (from the bird census) right on the base maps,” says Dr. Morrison. By studying plot patterns on the maps, his agency provides information for conservation planning. This work, in fact, led to a major conservation initiative known as the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network. Dr. Morrison appreciates MapInfo’s plotting capabilities, which make his job easier. He also values the layering functions of MapInfo. “There’s an awful lot of detail in ADC WorldMap, so the ability to turn information on or off is quite handy,” asserts Dr. Morrison. “It’s nice to have maps with detailed coastlines because it improves the accuracy of our studies.” Christine Eberl, migratory birds technician, works with Dr. Morrison at the National Wildlife Research Center. Her responsibilities include plotting the bird data onto ADC WorldMap. She likes MapInfo’s ease of use. “Now that I’m on MapInfo, things are progressing a lot better,” she declares. She would like to see a greater level of topographical detail in the Arctic region, but is impressed with the general level of detail she finds in ADC WorldMap. In addition to the major “atlas” projects mapping bird distribution, Dr. Morrison routinely uses ADC WorldMap and MapInfo to produce maps and figures for a variety of publications. Other divisions of the Canadian Wildlife Service are using the system to plot Breeding Bird Survey routes. It was also recently used to produce a major Gazetteer summarizing environmental information on Canada’s east coast.

For example, if two adjacent point are of two different elevations, I would like to draw the polygon between the two at a different distance to the default of the midpoint, so as to create smaller polygons around the points of greatest elevations.

MI 5.5, support for ODBC 3.0 datasources ?!, SQLSetConnectAttr(SQL_ATTR_ACCESS_MODE) gives error
Hi, I have experienced a problem connecting MI 5.5 with an ODBC 3.0 complient database, Metrica NPR. An ODBC trace seems to narrow the problem to a specific request : SQLSetConnectAttr (SQL_ATTR_ACCESS_MODE), which does not seem to work with an 3.0 complient ODBC datasource. Accordingly to documentation on Microsoft homepage (http://msdn.microsoft.com/libary/psdk/dasdk/odch4zn6.htm), this kind of request has been deprecated in ODBC 3.0, whereas it was ok in ODBC 2.X applications. I have been able to connect to my ODBC 3.0 datasource, using lowlevel MapBasic calls, but it appears that the standard builtin DBMS support in MI 5.5 (File- Open DBMS table) only works with ODBC 2.X datasources. In the release notes to MI 4.12 there is a statement that ODBC 3 file datasources do not work, but I have not been able to find any other notes on this issue in regards in to MI 5.X or 6.0.

Re: MI DXF import and local grid
John, The DXF attributes should be converted into .TAB file fields if you ticked the 'Preserve Attribute Data' option in the MapInfo 'DXF Import Information' dialog. There can be no link to the DXF file. If you did this and the data is still not translating then it may be that the data in the DXF file, assuming it was created by AutoCAD, probably isn't attribute data. As you may be aware, tabular data in AutoCAD can be attached to graphical objects by a number of methods. The simplest and oldest method being the use of Block Attributes (a block is a collection of graphical objects, an attribute is the textural data). But there are other methods, EED (Extended Entity Data), Object Data Tables, and links to external databases. As far as I'm aware, MapInfo will only read Block Attributes from a DXF file, which is fairly limiting. I could be wrong, as I've not tested this, but the terminology used suggests I'm correct. I'm not sure how the Universal Translator copes with tabular data in DXF files. So it may not be a straight forward process translating the data you want.
