RE: MI MAPX and VB6 selection tool
Brett,
When you created the BindLayer to plot the points on the map, you created a
dataset at the same time. The code to read the values in the dataset
"table" might be something like this...
Dim fld As MapXLib.Field
Dim ftr As MapXLib.Feature
For Each fld In MapX.Datasets.Item("MyData").Fields
For Each ftr In MapX.Layers.Item("BoundLayer").Selection
Debug.Print fld.Name & ": " &
MapX.Datasets.Item("MyData").Value(ftr, fld)
Next
Next

RE: MI MapX: Labelling One Way Streets
Till, The quickest and easiest way would be to take your street layer, copy all the one way streets into a new temporary(?) layer, and then turn on the line direction arrows for that new layer. Downsides to this: you get a small blue triangular arrow (which you can't change) pointing in the direction in which the line was drawn (which might not be the same as the street direction), and you get one arrow per line segment (not one per polyline). Going beyond that, you're opening up quite a can of worms. The process as I see it involves the following: (A) Determine the angle of the line segment in the polyline at a point somewhere along its length near the center. I don't think MapX's polyline features have the concept of a centroid, so you'll probably have to kludge something together: measure the length of all the line segments that make it up, and then mathematically determine which one contains the halfway point, and then determine the coordinates of that halfway point. Lots of math. Lots of fun. (B) When you find that line segment that contains that centerpoint, you'll use the arctangent of the difference of the change in Y (latitude) divided by the change in X (longitude) to get an absolute angle between 0 and 90 (where 0 is horizontal and 90 is vertical). In pseudocode, it will probably look like this: Angle = Atn((Y1-Y2)/(X1-X2)). Determining the exact angle within a 360 degree circle will entail your adding some number to that (90, 180, or 270) based upon whether or not the X's and Y's of the one endpoint are less than or greater than the X's and Y's of the other point. (C) Finally, once you've got that, you'll need to create a new layer for dropping your new "one-way" symbols, rotated appropriately. Needless to say, I don't envy you this task. There could be other issues -- and there could be a much easier way that I'm overlooking -- but this is off the top of my head. Looks good on paper, if nothing else.

RE: MI - MapX on Visual Foxpro.
We have used it extensively -- and successfully -- with VB. We recently got into a project with a client who had an existing application in Visual FoxPro, and they wanted to incorporate MapX into it. I don't know exactly where the problems were, but they couldn't quite get it to work. We had to end up developing a solution for them in VB that wrapped MapX into a larger custom ActiveX object which they then used in their application.

RE: MI MapXtreme Selecting features within several street segments
Roberto, As of MapX 3.51 there is a Layer method called FeatureIDFromFeatureName. With this, you can enter in the Feature's Name property that you're looking for, and it will return the FeatureID. I don't think this is on the MapX 3.5 Object Model poster, but it is in the MapX "Help". Once you have that, do the buffer thingy and that should get you where you want to be.

RE: MI Using Visual Basic Forms in MapInfo Professional
Sounds like a VB issue. Without testing, my guess is that you need to check the AutoRedraw property of your VB form, and of all the controls on it that have an AutoRedraw property, and set them to True. Again, just a guess. Hope it helps.

RE: MI promoting records
Ben, You could add a Priority column into your table. You could store a default value -- something high like 1000 or so, depending on how many records you have -- in all the rows. Then, to "promote" a record, drop a 1 in the Priority column, and create a query sorting by that column in ascending order. Only trick is, if you only want to have one 1 in the table, you have to "demote" the old 1's to 2's or something. Hope this helps.

MI Friday Humor
Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to the list, so I hope I'm not recycling a joke you've all seen. This one was one of my favorites, purported to be an actual letter from the Smithsonian Institute... but you know how urban legends are... Paleoanthropology Division Smithsonian Institute 207 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20078 Dear Sir: Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled 211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull. We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago. Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the Malibu Barbie. It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to its modern origin: 1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone. 2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately nine cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-hominids. 3. The dentition pattern evident on the skull is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that: (a) The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on, and (b) clams dont have teeth. It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon datings notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results. Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundations Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name Australopithecus Spiff-arino. Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didnt really sound like it might be Latin. However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your back yard. We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nations capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing you expound on your theories surrounding the trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus Rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench. Yours in Science, Harvey Rowe Curator, Antiquities Everyone have a good weekend...

RE: MI Mouse Over Functionality in MapX
Suzanne, This doesn't exist as of MapX 3.52. You could create one from scratch by adding a timer that fires when the mouse stops moving, having it look at the feature under the mouse in the uppermost visible and selectable layer, and then setting the tooltip text... kind of a pain, but it would work. Don't quote me, but I think the functionality you're looking for -- similar to MapInfo 5.x -- might be in MapX 4.

RE: MI MapX: Install utilities
Chris, We've successfully used InstallShield Professional 5.0 and 5.5. I'm not too up on the differences between that and the Express version, but there didn't seem to be anything too tricky with the installation... with the possible exception of registering a type library or two. There was one rumor floating around that MapX 4.0 would include its own installation routine... but I've never heard if that's true or not. Either way, even though it's a little off-topic, I'd be curious as well to see if there are other better installation packages out there for this sort of thing.

FW: MI Referencing points on layer
Suzanne, Here are a few answers for you. Hope they help. First of all, to cycle through your points, you'll want to do something like the following: Spin through all the points in the layer. (Create a new Feature object, and do a For Each ftr In lyrNewLayer.AllFeatures.) Create a new Point object for each point in the layer. Use the Point.Set with the ftr.CenterX and ftr.CenterY properties. Stuff each Point object into a new Points collection, one at a time. Use the MapX.FeatureFactory object to create a new line based on the Points collection. Sorry for the pseudo-pseudocode. I'd supply the actual VB code, but it would probably take about half an hour to type it up, plus another 15 minutes to explain in detail. Secondly, yup. You can join several tables together in the SQL statement for you ODBCQueryInfo object. Third, right again. The documentation is (I'm being polite here) "sketchy". There is a free User's Guide downloadable from the MapX beta web site. Go to www.mapx.com, follow the links to the new beta, and you'll see a PDF developer's guide you can download. It's still a work in progress, and it does contain some MapX 4 stuff, but it ought to help.

RE: MI TrueType font to Symbol?
You could do the following: 1. Go into Word (or anything, really), and type a character on the screen the color and size you want to see it. 2. Do a PrntScrn of the screen. 3. Go into Paint, and select the 32x32 pixel containing the font character. (May require some zooming in, and pixel-counting.) 4. Cut the selection out, open a new bitmap, set the size to 32x32 pixels, and paste the selected image. 5. Save the image into the CustSymb folder as a 256 color bitmap. That ought to do it, and shouldn't take more than five minutes or so.

Re: MI MapX questions
Howdy, I can address the first question, but I haven't fiddled too much with the raster images within the MapX framework. Regarding installations, the Package & Deployment Wizard is simply too limited to be able to do a MapX installation. Look in the MapX help file regarding deployment of MapX applications. Not only do you have to include a bunch of dll's, ocx's, and tlb's, you also have to install fonts, register some (but not all) of the dll's, register the tlb's, write registry keys. It's a pain, but if you follow the instructions by the letter, it does work. I've had success installing MapX using InstallShield Professional, and "lesser" versions could probably do the job as well. Simply put, the VB Package & Deployment wizard can't do it. Also, installing the full SDK as you're doing *might* violate some licensing issues. One rumor had it that MapX 4 (which should be out soonish) was going to include it's own installation routine... but rumors are rumors.
