This is very interesting. Some time ago, I posted a request on this list for 'intelligent use of ProViewer' Seems as if you have found a way. Why not share your knowledge with the rest of the list? Never mind if the code is pretty, those willing to try it can surely use it anyway.

RE: MI - Sum: Integrated mapping with ProViewer
I must reiterate that you can do integrated mapping with ProViewer; even though it was not meant to be used as such. The MapInfo Runtime object does not have as many methods and properties as the application object. This is where Mr. Lavoie ran into a snag. Instead of using 'ProViewer.do "Set Next Document Parent "...' use the SetParent API call and all is well. You can even add your own tool bar, if you approach the problem from the right direction. I have put together a small Visual Basic Application that works. I'm not saying it is pretty. I'm saying it works. I am willing to provide the code to those who are interested. Yes, even Mr. Lavoie.

Got two replies:
Trey Pattillo: suggests to open ProViewer via the command line with the
workspace as a parameter ("C:\Program Files\...\MapInfor.exe
D:\...\My_Workspace.wor")
Patrick Phillips: suggests that I create the ProViewer object in VB as
MapInfo.Runtime instead of MapInfo.Application
I tested Patrick's suggestion with the following script in VB:
Option Explicit
Global ProViewer As Object
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Instantiate ProViewer
Set ProViewer = CreateObject("MapInfo.Runtime")
ProViewer.do "Set Application Window " & Form1.hWnd
' Reparent next map window
ProViewer.do "Set Next Document Parent " & Form1.hWnd & "
Style 1"
ProViewer.do "Open Table ""D:\Bgr\Bgn_40\Que_RTS\Que_RTS""
Interactive"
ProViewer.do "Map From Que_RTS"
execute it, and get the following error message: "MapInfo ProViewer does
not support integrated mapping", thereby establishing Trey's assertion.
I will therefore have to launch ProViewer from the command line.
Thanks Trey and Patrick for your help.
