Re: MI MB getting info on default printer
The Windoze API does everything, if you can find it
and figure it out
It's all based on C++ structures, but can be ported
to MB, the most common
difference being in numbers C++ LONG MB
Integer
The following code below will return the default
printer.
Getting the installed list is called ENUM_PRINTERS
and is somewhat more
complex and then you have Win9X and NT
differences.
A work around for enum would be to read the windoze
profile using GetSectionValues and then parsing the returned
string.
Declare Function GetProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias
"GetProfileStringA" ( ByVal lpSectionName As String, ByVal
lpKeyName As String, ByVal lpDefault As String,
lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Integer) As Integer '
RETURNS number of characters read
DIM sSize AS INTEGERDIM PrnInfo AS STRING
x=512
'' initialize size for return stringPrnInfo=string$(sSize," ") '' initialize
place for return string
x=GetProfileString("windows","device","No Printer
Installed",PrnInfo,sSize)

RE: MI Problem with data sharing in MapInfo pro 5.5 -- MY FIX
Hello all, I been working with MI since v3, and stopped upgrades at v4.5 for our 911 system. This has always been the *migraine* of the day, but this system [work around] went into place over a year ago and works perfect. By running integration [MB included], only the functionality that the user needs is included, thus having a lower *training curve* with near 100% data integrity. Plenty of Dropdowns/Check boxes/radios minimize user boo-boos, along with full validation before posting the data. Over performance is increases by working the data in DBF format and using native code tools to perform validation and changes that do not disrupt the linking of the data to the graphical objects. Anyone wishing to contact me on setting this up, altering my application, via Delphi Integration [no installation, single exe] or just as a consultant to your project, let me know. Here's some of the scope and core, a little *techy* but that's what work arounds are about. MI DOES NOT SUPPORT *TRUE* NETWORKED FUNCTIONALLITY ! ! EACH USER RUNS A *Local* COPY OF *The Map(s)* You MUST be familiar [proficient] with MapBasic or an Integrated Language, preferrable DELPHI, but c++, vb, etc will do. 1) The local application will run a 1 minute timer [typical max for languages 60,000 milliseconds] Could be less depending on PC, complexity of update [large region with lots of data], and records in file. 2) Upon timer expiration, application will check a folder for any existing files [updates] to process File names are not relevant, just the existance of the file and the system can open it [file writes completed] May be local or on a fileserver with a folder for each user -- something like mailboxes for email systems 3) Updates from the *update folder* will be processed on a local copy of map, then the file is removed from the folder by move [to an archieve folder] or deletion [destructive--no history] 4) Changes made by the user to the local copy will be placed in a file according to item #2 The file name could be simply *update* but in an archieving system this causes problems. Suggest using a *long file name* based on GUID which maintains a history of changes. 5) Each record MUST contain a *Globally Unique IDentifier* [GUID] to avoid duplicate entries at ALL times 6) GUID is based on the format u.d. where u=user id, d=day number since 1/1/1900, t=time expressed as decimal of 24 hours [0.25=6am 0.5=noon 0.75=6pm]. Row numbers are not acceptable as the number of rows in the table can become less, after packing, which then duplicates the id's [row number] by the amount of deleted records. 7) Update file is text based in the following format Status GUID TABLE DATA Terminator Status is ADD, CHANGE, DELETE GUID is from Item #6 TABLE is the table name [or alias name] -- no path or extension DATA is the full *mapbasic command* to perform the update, on per line including graphic [lines, points, etc] and data Terminator is a unique line to indicate the end of the processing for that record, must not be in data section 8) Integrety Checking Retrieve GUID and table, then process SQL [select from table where GUID=guid] test returned table record count, should be 0 or 1, if >1 then show error and abort For DELETE the record(s) deleted For CHANGE if count=0 then ADD is applied otherwise the new data is applied [update] For ADD, if no records found then insert data, otherwise process CHANGE 9) Creation of update files can either be upon completion of user input or as a batch which can be integrated with the timer function, by user activation, or by application termination but must not be duplicated by any of the these processes KNOWN ISSUES It is still possible to have *cyclic exchanges* whereby 2 users change the same record, before appling the other's chagnes, of which each will pass to the other their changes and therefore a full record update is not performed. The occurance of this is extremely low, but none the less still exists. By having good policy and procedures concerning what data being updated by each user this should not happen. Hope this helps..

MI *convienently* forgot to include a *load from text*, so to reuse you will have to open the file in notepad and copy/paste the lines into the mb window You can save the entire set of lines and then just highlight the lines for each of the processes..2-3 / 5-7 / 9 If this is a continuing process, you might consider purchasing MB, or I do custom programming [reasonable charge] and can create a mbx program for you.

I even wrote MB app to convert all polylines to lines, with addressing, and then calculate extending the lines from 0 to 15% to overcome then geocoding problem. Of course, then that layer must the hidden below everything else and use for the searchs while the real layer is only for *visual* purposes. As far a 3-D and HTML, it will be along time before a cell phone use calls 911 from the top of the Ivory Tower and shoots and e-mail to the dispatcher that they need helpand the map can pin point where they are ! ! Have a good weekend all, I have to go fix some uses who say my 911 mapping programming does not work after the trashed the addressed field out...24/7/52 life of 911 Trey Pattillo[EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.wap3.com
RE: Sending MI event Info to VB
Hello,
I quit using VB about 2 years ago, v5 and MI v4.5,
and use Delphi [pascal] exclusively
The power is far beyond VB [especially WinAPI], not
to mention 20 times faster, and
no baggage to distribute -- just the
EXE.
This is from my Delphi code but will give you the
idea, Quotes around strings are ' [single] in Delphi so sending commands is
easier than VB where you have to do the something [multi-quote]
trick
HELPER CONVERSION NOTES:
Lines don't end until ; semi-colon is
encountered
Equal is := colon and equal
Multiple commands for IF-THEN FOR-NEXT DO-LOOP etc
are always contained inside begin/end
Hope this helps...

USING THE MapInfo SEARCH POINT IN
AUTOMATION
1) Create a tool button [invisible in ole

'DrawMode '+DM_CUSTOM_POINT;
MIMap.DO(MIStr); 2) Create in VB a procedure called "SrchPnt" [I
think this is a CLASS
defination] This
needs to take a "wide
string" procedure
SrchPnt(Const sPnt: WideString);safecall;
3) The procedure is as follows// get the
Lat/Lon where user clicked and number of objects found //
ClickX:=MIMap.Eval('format$(CommandInfo('+CMD_INFO_X+'),".")');
ClickY:=MIMap.Eval('format$(CommandInfo('+CMD_INFO_Y+'),".")');
nFound:=MIMap.Eval('SearchPoint('+MapID+','+ClickX+','+ClickY+')');// if
nothing found for the MapID and Lat/Lon then show message// otherwise get
the information about where the user clicked if nFound='0'
then begin showmessage('No Objects Found At
'+ClickX+' '+ClickY); end else
begin // get table name from MI //
sTable:=MIMap.Eval('SearchInfo(1,'+SEARCH_INFO_TABLE+')');
// must be from the Street Layer// if sTable='BaseFile'

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 zip
Hello, PLEASE SEND ALL BET PROCEEDS TO ME. Take a zip polygon table and index the zip-code field. Use Query>Find [Ctrl+F] select the zip-code field and magic the centroid of the zip. You can also do this on point tables. If you are working in MapBasic, you will not get a 1 or 2 for the return code but 411 [I think--I'll have to dig the 10k lines of Delphi code, it is positive and greater than 2 which puts a twist on the code -- negative is failed ] *Find Using* and *Find* then getting L/L and center/zoom map does work for *non-address* fields.

Hello all, Just my $0.02US, We, Coastal Bend 9-1-1 Network, started with MI3.0 at the beginning, on my recommendation. Well, I'm waiting for my Delphi5 VCL development license for CartoMap to get here to finally put together a package that won't need DLL's, MBX's, RunTime, or anything else, not to mention 40% fast screen redraw of 22,000 line segment [county] with the 6800 structures [file totals 18+meg] and *double-precision* coordinates [ that's -97.1234567890123] in real time. We have some 40 license of MI. We only upgraded everone to 4.0 and then only 6 people to 4.5.

MI Fix_WOR ----- SoftWare Glitch -------- FIXED
APOLOGIES TO ALLespecially if you
used Fix_WOR without backing up [ I warned you ]
There was a problem with the RichEdit control
.. it saved the file with *formatting codes*
I use the Windoze RichEdit because a memo has a
limit on the number of character [32k] where the RE is
what is used internally by M$.
A note on the RE control you can use Ctrl+X +C +V
to do cut/copy/paste also Shft+Insert to paste, anything else
like Alt+E Paste are menu command that I'd have to
write in...
I have uploaded the revision [220k in pkzip ] to
the website -- click here to get it -- www.wap3.com/download/Fix_WOR.zip
Added a button to *LOAD* files -- you can now
preview the files then use DO ALL or process each individually
Added Extension to filter on --- default is WOR
--> can now be used on TAB or any other *text* file
== CORRECT -- If you do
not have backup
1) get new version
2) do the same search for files -- start folder and
extension
3) click on each file in the list to view
it
4) the first 3 lines look like below delete
everything up to !Workspace is should start the line

5) set the search for "\par " with out quotes
and include a space at the end
6) click the individual search/replace

7) goto the end of the text
8) delete the } squirley brace at the

Hello y'all, In response to Natalie's post about a workspace editor, I just put Fix_WOR up on the download section. AUTOMATION - YES ! [ Several additions lately --- so drop by ] A Delphi5 application, so just unzip [pkzip] somewhere and 2click it -- make a shortcut if you want -- no install baggage or registry poop. The status bar has mouse-over help hints, but basically1) enter the start folder, NO END \ , or click on the button on the right for dialog box2) enter the string to search for, this is not case sensitive or whole words, so it will dig up any and all occurrances3) enter the text to replace with4) uncheck *sub-folders* if you don't want to use them5) click start6) the *checked* list entries show files that were changed7) click on a list entry to view it8) you can directly make changes to the viewer and then click on the save button9) you can change the search/replace and click on the find button [binoculars] to apply it to the view window and then save10) creates an optional backup of the changed files [initial run only then unchecks] Great for moving around wors from one machine to another or creating CD projects. Sometimes the rant fire is a little warm but it's better than the crap on the boob-tube, and gets up to the Sunday Comics at times.

I looked at the Proviewer and it has to > many options and allows users to change data in tables. Have you installed ProViewer on "clean" machine? I found that it's behavior is dependent on whether or not MapInfo is installed on the machine ( editing data ) On a clean machine, pan/zoom is about it. Yes other "windows" can be opened and closed [map and browser independently] but it doesn't even have "layers" a layers control, something I want my users to have. My real problem is that " I " have to build the Workspaces and distribute them to the users, scattered across 12,000 sq.mi of south Texas. To the rescue, I developed ProDesigner that without [at this point] any graphical interface [working on a 3rd party map interface] allows more advanced users to create their own workspaces [data mining]. Just about everything is there except for "thematics" --- they're a real pain in integrated apps. This is Delphi EXE and INI only so distribution is just a copy away.

Re: MI Id question thanks
Hi all, Just a note to Fran's using the RowID as an "identifier" >Thanks to all who responded to my MI ID question. The solution of creating >an ID column and updating column with ROWID was perfect. Got that project >done in short order! I really appreciate the help. DON'T EVER PACK THE TABLE.ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE DELETES. 1) initially 100 records 2) id's = 1...100 3) delete every 10th record 1..9, 11..19, 20..29 4) pack the table 5) now there are 90 records 6) add 10 records and use RowID ..you just duplicted 90...99 I have use a GUID [Globally Unique IDentifier] in my "multi-user/multi-location" 911 system something like "User ID" [5 char] the date, the time to 12 digits I get the actual clock date/time as a floating point number but the "TIMER" function will work [ticks since midnight] So, you have a 30 char field as TP.2120.123465789012 The chances of 2 people with the same ID, on the same day, at the "exact" time [calculating PC difference] ..you do the math. This works great as "select * from table where GUID=aguid into work" if no records then do an add other wise do an "update" You could probably drop the User ID if you want to... Besides you know who and when the record was worked in for later reference.

RE: MI Integrated mapping with Delphi
If you go to my website www.wap3.com and then to the downloads area you can get the source code and examples for using D4 and MapInfo. This is all based on MI v4.x, can't afford the upgrades. === "Creating and Calling Delphi DLL's" This is the full source for Delphi 4 [may work in 3] to create a DLL Includes an example MB showing how to call DLLs. CONCEPTS 1) passing strings and numbers in functions and procedures 2) "modal" dialogs [having D4 create a "input dialog"] [MB goes to sleep] 3) "modeless" dialogs which is a "form" The example uses a memo box with OK & Cancel buttons. There should be enough info to really get you going with Delphi. = "Integrated Callback" Delphi 4 and Visual Basic 5 These are example programs [with source code] on how to do "call backs" using Delphi 4 and VisualBasic 5. There is a file named "_HowTo.txt" that explains the steps required to build the call back from scratch. You can do it the hard way or modify the source code, which ever you're more inclined to do. VB5 is a snap, 3 lines of code. D4 was a bit more difficult, after 7 weeks of surfin' and reworkin' I finally gave birth to this puppy! FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ! ! ! This is modified from D3 so it should be fully compatible, except that the menu names etc. are a little different and located in different places. Don't ask for help on D3 I missed D2 & D3 upgrades. === "OLE Automation for Delphi 4" This zip contains full source for use Delphi as an OLE Automation Server. I created from a request on the MapInfo-L Mailing List and to show how to accomplish this method. The last examples I had, MI4.5, said to use a "picture box" which is not correct, at least for Delphi.

RE: MI-creating a hotlink
Hello all,
I have example of *hotlinking* anything you want on
my web site.
The file is in pk-zip format and contains source
and an example table that will use Notepad to edit Test.TAB, use M$-Paint to
open a bitmap [globe[1].bmp], and connect to my website using M$ Internet
Exploder.
The _HowTO.zip explains the needed fields and what
they do, including using a different browser.
A lot could be done such as adding variable
references and an INI [see WinAPI] so that the users entries will become more
*global* in nature. {Maps}StateCap.tab opens *c:\program

RE: MI - number of columns
Hello, Is compatible or comparable ? MI limits each record to 4,000 bytes in any combination of types and up to 250 columns SmallInt 2 bytes, Integer 4 bytes, float 8 bytes So it is NOT dBase compatible but comparable as dBase allows over 255 columns and I think 8192 bytes, if not then 4096 bytes I got a *free* download from ESRI of School District Boundaries..just what I wanted to add to the collection but it would not convert into MI using UT [ yes it has problems but ] ==>> Error can't open table..M$ style cryptic message [ WHY NOT ? ] After opening with Paradox I found that the *.db had over 750 fields ! ! !

RE: MI MapInfo 5.5 Crash
Here's what I have found 1) be sure that you declare all queries INTO a named result > select * from table where a=b INTO TEMP 2) close TEMP as soon as you done with it 3) keep tables closed as much as you can...reopening slows down app but the time is worth it 4) use variables as much as possible including "object" -- really helps control memory usage MOST of all if you using Win9x you were already in trouble ! ! It uses resources just link 3.x and can't decide if it's 16/32 bit or better put a 32 bit display of a 16 bit program built with a 8 bit compiler for a 4 bit processor by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition The 911 app that I wrote with Delphi 4 runs 24/7, reading the phone/address [like caller id], looks it up, creates "pushpins" at the location, allows a far superior user query for failures or general purpose lookups, has 10 additional tables [subdivision, water, etc] and has no problems. Of course it runs on NT4w SP5 with 64meg on a P-200mmx using MI4.1. I have noticed that after 1500 to 2000 hrs [about 2.5-3 months NT gets a bit tired, no matter what your doing, including my "crash & burn" development cycles -- reboot time]. Yesterday I was at a location that is still using the old PowerBuilder/Paradox database app [the version of PB is a 16 bit app] and it had gone blind, lost all it "edit boxes" and labels but the window was still there, after about 800 hrs [back to the "resource" issue].

Re: MI Strange Behavior in 5.5
I don't have v5.5 but about 2 weeks ago there was discussion about 1) make a selection from MyTable into TEMP 2) make a selection of TEMP into Temp1 3) do close all, or back track the table, [temp1, query1, Temp, MyTable] POOF ~ ~ MI is gone 4) also happens when exiting MI I had the last laugh that Friday night when I went back into my Delphi Application and ran though that scenario of code [was a problem in my app] and v4.5 died and the chokes Delphi because MI link is gone. To keep it short "Totally" wiping out registry and all of v4.5 and reloading still had same problem. So I had to go back to v4.1.2 and all is OK The only change was on 4 July I installed a CD Rewrite and it's software, other than that no changes in P2-266, NT4w-sp4, 128meg I have lately loaded SP5 but don't have time to retest problem...

Re: MI Selection control query
Hello I do all my work via integration with Delphi4, soon to be 5, and found that at various times I strange happenings. It took a while to even get the error message to the front of the processess. Then to figure out what was wrong. By calling the WinAPI GetAsyncKeyState it will flush out the keys/messges about the ESC key being pressed. What bugs me is that I never actually pressed the ESC key until I started the testing how to fix it... You might have to have this is your process loop in VB/MB I haven't tested the actual call in MB and stopped using VB awhile back so just how and where you place it will be up to trial and error IN DELPHI EscKey: Integer; EscKey:=getasynckeystate(27); IN VB / MB Declare Function GetAsyncKeyState Lib "user32" Alias "GetAsyncKeyState" (ByVal vKey As Integer) As Integer DIM EscKey as Integer EscKey = GetAsyncKeyState(27) Hope this helps...it worked for me Trey Pattillo [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wap3.com - Original Message - From: Sean Richards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: 'MapInfo List' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, 28 July, 1999 17:43 Subject: MI Selection control query >Hi all, > >I have a little query, about queries actually.

RE: MI : window size dependency
Hello Jacques and all, If you go to my website, then to WinAPI, you will find the source code you copy into you MB app that stops the user from closing, moving, min, and max. The "resize" is removed from the menu command [top left of window] but the window still has "drag" [at least on WinNT] capability. Languages like VB MB Delphi C etc, are just an easy way [sometimes not the best way] to control Windozebut the WinAPI "IS" Windoze. I have a prologue that lists a few books that popped up on the results at Amazon.com [notice no link, check you favorite book outlet] of about 130+ when I entered "WinAPI' in the search..I'm not promoting anything but look into the author's integration with VisualBasic [that's the first listing and pub'd 1999] as very little is different from MB [API uses "long" as an integer where MI is just "Integer"] which will make understanding how to setup the call a bit easier. The books should have the calls listed [or maybe CD] which will help. All the stuff I have came with developer software [Delphi/VB] and is extremely difficult to understand as most of it references the C++ structures. Here's what is currently on available [more as get the time] FILE FUNCTIONS Get a list of the files in a folder Get the "Windows" folder Get the "Windows System" folder Get the "System Temp" folder Get the current folder Set the current folder Create New Folder WINDOW FUNCTIONS Get the handle of the current focused window [blue title bar] Disable Min/Max/Close on a window [can be any window] Your own Message Dialog SYSTEM FUNCTIONS [date/time, etc] Get the System TIME [also for creating Globally Unique Identifiers Guide's] Delay without code loops Get the "User" Name [network log-in] Use you own INI File ENJOY...
