AW: MI Files on Most Recently Used-list
-Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Anssi Joutsiniemi [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Montag, 10.

Our mail server is indeed causing us headaches. Strangely enough, the mailbox receiving mails from the list does not seem to be affected. 1.) My MB application opens a workspace, which causes MapInfo to include the workspace file on the Most Recently Used (MRU) list in the File menu. Additionally, this filename is used as the default workspace filename the next time the user wants to save a workspace. Is there a way to suppress this, as I don't want the user to see the filename or overwrite this file? (I basically don't want the user to take notice of this file.) You could try saving your workspace into temporary location for example using path from TempFileName$ function. Runing workspace from temp location and deleting it afterwards. Then trying to run the deleted workspace and handling error with OnError routine. I assume the workspace name will be removed from MRU list. Good idea, but doesn't do the trick. MapInfo only removes files from the MRU list once the user selects a file which does no longer exist, or which has been deleted with a menu command (such as Delete Table...). Trying to open a non existing file from a MapBasic application generates an error, but does not effect the MRU list. 2.) The Pack Table command, used in a MapBasic application writes out a number of commands to the MapBasic window. I wonder why it does that, as other commands in MB code don't give away that they have been used. Again, the question is, is there a way to get around that (apart from closing the MapBasic window)? Have tried does Run Command "Pack Table " have same effect? How about Run Menu Command ID... ? Doesn't work, too, im afraid... Thanks anyway, Cheers, Andreas -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello Andreas, You have an entry in your Menu Definition (under File) which causes the MRU files to display - ($ The regular MapInfo Menu has the following line in it: "($", '* MRU list; appears as separator, if filenames follow. I suppose that if you remove this entry you will no longer be bothered with any MRU files. As for default workspaces - under Options - Preferences - Restart you can control whether or not MapInfo saves and/or loads default workspaces. I don't think you need this for MapBasic - workspaces will not save or load unless you specifically use code to do so. 1.) My MB application opens a workspace, which causes MapInfo to include the workspace file on the Most Recently Used (MRU) list in the File menu. Additionally, this filename is used as the default workspace filename the next time the user wants to save a workspace. Is there a way to suppress this, as I don't want the user to see the filename or overwrite this file? (I basically don't want the user to take notice of this file.) Good luck.

MI Files on Most Recently Used-list
Hi there everybody, here are two questions for any serious MB-hacker: 1.) My MB application opens a workspace, which causes MapInfo to include the workspace file on the Most Recently Used (MRU) list in the File menu. Additionally, this filename is used as the default workspace filename the next time the user wants to save a workspace. Is there a way to suppress this, as I don't want the user to see the filename or overwrite this file? (I basically don't want the user to take notice of this file.) 2.) The Pack Table command, used in a MapBasic application writes out a number of commands to the MapBasic window. I wonder why it does that, as other commands in MB code don't give away that they have been used. Again, the question is, is there a way to get around that (apart from closing the MapBasic window)?
