Re: MI-L Dialog Tab Order

[Martin Hodder]

Peter,

In your Dialog statement you can put the radiogroup as the first control in
the statement, this should make it the active control when you open the
dialog.

If this does not work you can try calling a subrouting of the dialog
statement and put something like

Alter Control ID X active

Regards

Martin

RE: MI-L VM 2.6 error on Win XP OS

We had a similar problem and the only way was to upgrade as support for
older problems didn't exist.
Thank you Marconi for that simple lesson in marketing.
Give the public what they need but only support what you want.

The Active keyword applies only to EditText controls.
An Alter Control ... Active statement puts the keyboard focus on the specified

Re: MI-L Dialog Tab Order

[Martin Hodder]

Hi,


Following on from Valadmir's comments - I had not tested! So I thought I
would actually test the theory and the results are quite interesting.

1) The Alter Control active statement does indeed only work for edittext
controls

2) It turns out that we can both be right regarding the tab order.

Take the code at the bootom of the email and compile and run it.

You will see that the list box is the active control.
You can play around by putting the OK button at the top and that will be the
active control.
Put the radiogroup at the top and that will be the active control.

Now for the quirky bit:-

If you uncomment the Value 0 statement in the radiogroup and compile - it is
not longer the active control on start up
Put value 1 instead and it is back to being the active control.

At least that what happens for me! (MB6.0 MI6.0 Win2000)

Here is the code i used for testing:-

Dialog
Title "tab order"
Control LISTBOX
ID 3
Position 12, 30
Title "test1;test2"
Width 67
Height 86
Control RADIOGROUP
ID 4
Position 174, 30
Width 63
Height 20
Title "Test 1; Test 2"
 ' Value 0
Control STATICTEXT
ID 5
Position 5, 5
Width 64
Height 17
Title "Test"
Control OKBUTTON
ID 1
Position 176, 144
Width 32
Height 15
Title "&Ok"
Control CANCELBUTTON
ID 2
Position 221, 144
Width 30
Height 14
Title "&Cancel"

Interested to hear if this is right as it has always been my understanding
that the active control is the first user changeable in the statement

Regards

Martin

MI-L MapX performance - Layer.AddFeature

[Karlsson,Niklas]

Hi,

I have a large amount of data (approx. 10 points and 5000 rectangles) which I want 
to display using Delphi and MapX. As of now I've assumed that I could simply create a 
feature using featurefactory and add it to a temporary layer. This seems however to be 
very slow.

Some profiling reveals that adding 1000 small rectangles to a layer takes ~27 seconds. 
98% of the time is spent on the function call "Map1.Layers.Item['Temp 
Layer'].AddFeature(f, EmptyParam);". Creating the feature as such seem to be quite 
fast. I'm running it on a P3/1GHz.

Is there a smarter (=faster) way to this? I assume there is since I've seen other 
mapinfo applications which seem pretty fast. Either a quicker 
Thanks!

Best regards // Niklas

RE: MI-L Dialog Tab Order

[Jacques Paris]

>From MapBasic Help (dialog statement)

Specifying the Tab Order

The user can press the Tab key to move the keyboard focus through the
dialog. The focus moves from control to control according to the dialog's
tab order.
Tab order is defined by the order of the Control clauses in the Dialog
statement. When the focus is on the third control, pressing Tab moves the
focus to the fourth control, etc. If you want to change the tab order,
change the order of the Control clauses.

RE: MI-L Kernel Analysis using Vertical Mapper

I have to manually amend projection to British National Grid in mif file to

well. Alternatively I've written a mapbasic program that runs kernel and
other density estimation routines. Let me know if you want a copy.

Not too much response to my inquiry, perhaps reflecting an 
application not too widespread among MapInfo users.

No one confirmed that the VM kernel routines work (there was one 
voice of trepidation from a user planning on using this analysis).

CrimeStat 2 was suggested as an alternative. I actually have used 
Crimestat and can vouch that it does produce much more realistic 
looking results from kernel analyses than does VM. The price is right 
(free), the author is very responsive to problems, and is the only 
source I can think of off hand for dual kernel analysis. Although one 
can transfer information between MapInfo and CrimeStat, I have found 
this to be rather quirky. At least Crimestat does allow for transfers 
to MapInfo (and other formats). The VM, being a MapInfo add-on is 
much more tightly integrated and easier to use.

The Mapinfo/ESRI discussion has an asymptote to this problem. ArcView 
users have long had access to some nice routines for kernel analyses, 
probably reflecting the larger user base of academic users.

Thanks to those who responded.

MI-L MI 7.0 and ESRI Shapefiles?

I'm curious as to how well this actually works?

Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated.

RE: MI-L MI 7.0 and ESRI Shapefiles?

[Stokes, Jonathan (J)]

John
MI actually seems to translate the files rather than read them on the fly.
It creates a .tab, .id, .ind and .map file and uses the shape files .dbf
instead of the .dat file. I'm not sure whether any linking exists between
the files (i.e. if the shape gets edited is the MapInfo table updated ??)

RE: MI-L Kernel Analysis using Vertical Mapper

[Richard Block]

With the exception of lat/lon, the best way to generate crimestat graphic output for 
MapInfo is to create a shape file.  Then use mapinfo's universal translator to 
generate a mif file with the appropriate specification of projection.   If your data 
is lat/lon then use the mapinfo tab or mif option in Crimestat.

Assuming that you want them for the USA --

I make my own from the TIGER/Line 2000 files. They have the 1980 geographies
too. I use Maptitude to import/translate the files.

In MapBasic, there is a LayerInfo() function. Within this function, the
attribute of LAYER_INFO_DISPLAY can do it.

SV: MI-L GIS Monitor Review of "Free Eval" Download Process for MI 7.0 vs ESRI AV 8.x

[Mats Elfstrom]

Hi All!

This a slight sidetrack to the question of the MI trial.
Beware that once the Trial period has expired, you will never be able to
install a new trial copy.
Or if you 'tamper' with the system clock in which case the trial immediately
expires.
Now, my system sets its clock against a time server at each boot. Does that
count as 'tampering'?
Or did the v7 beta count as one trial usage?
In any case, and for some reason, I am unable to run the trial license
because it said my time was up at once.
MI staff kindly sent me a new license file, but it had the same content as
the one I already had an did not help.

I have searched in vain for the timelock on my disk. It's probably hidden
deep somewhere in the registry.
Does anyone know where?
I am told that our pitiful 'swedish' version is due a couple of weeks away,
and I needed the hi-res output in v7 for a particular task. That's why I
ask.

Regards, Mats.E

Re: MI-L MapX performance - Layer.AddFeature (#2)

[Philip Waight]

Hi.
I believe the quickest way to add features to a layer in MapX is to use
layerinfo and a features collection, although I havent tested against the
adding a feature at a time approach.
So rather than doing an ADDFEATURE for each object, append the objects to a
features collection and then add this to a new layer using the layerinfo
object  and LAYERS.ADD method.

Following (in Progress) was the basis of a MapX pack table, but is roughly
what's required:

CREATE "mapx.layerinfo.4" linfPacked.
linfPacked:Type = {&miLayerInfoTypeNewTable}.
linfPacked:AddParameter ("Fields", newfields).
linfPacked:AddParameter ("Features", allFtrs).
linfPacked:AddParameter ("Filespec", Newpath).
linfPacked:AddParameter ("OverwriteFile", "1").
linfPacked:AddParameter ("Name", "temp_pack").
Map1:Layers:ADD (linfPacked) NO-ERROR.  /* create table */

If you create a a table type of ...TYPETEMPTABLE, you can use the memtable
option which may be faster.
If you have stand-alone feature objects, you may need to do an f:attach
before adding to the features collection.

Phil.

Subject: MI-L MapX performance - Layer.AddFeature (#2)


(sorry, previous mail was sent prematurely)

Hi,

I have a large amount of data (approx. 10 points and 5000 rectangles)
which I want to display using Delphi and MapX. As of now I've assumed that I
could simply create a feature using featurefactory and add it to a temporary
layer. This seems however to be very slow.

Some profiling reveals that adding 1000 small rectangles to a layer takes
~27 seconds. 98% of the time is spent on the function call
"Map1.Layers.Item['Temp Layer'].AddFeature(f, EmptyParam);". Creating the
feature as such seem to be quite fast. I'm running it on a P3/1GHz.

Is there a smarter (=faster) way to this? I assume there is since I've seen
other mapinfo applications which seem pretty fast. Either a quicker to add a
feature to a given layer or a better/faster way to add objects (point &
rectangles) to mapinfo.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards // Niklas

Re: MI-L MapX: Check isLayerVisible?

[Philip Waight]

I think what you want is:
1.  see if layer.visible = true
2.  see if the bounds of the layer intersect the bounds of the current map
window. Layer.bounds and map.bounds both return rectangle objects.
IntersectionTest (layerbounds,mapbounds,testtype) will show whether the
layer intersects the map window.
3. A more thorough test if the layer does intersect would be to check all
objects within the layer, within the map window.

Phil.

MI-L MI Pro 7.0. Unable to open .sid image.

[Tony]

After uninstalling MI Pro 6.5 and installing 7.0, I have encountered the
following problem:  Opening a MrSid raster (.sid) I receive a System Error:
Floating-point exception: Invalid.  I click on OK of the System Error and MI
closes.

I am running 98SE as my operating system.  I can open other raster formats
(.tif, jpg) with out any problem.  I had no such problem with the 6.5
version and the Build 26 patch for 7.0 is of no help.

If I load 7.0 onto a Win 2000 OS, there is no problem.
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thank you,

RE: MI-L Date / Time field in Access

[Simmonds, Ashley (PTB)]

i know what you mean about this, it is a right pain in the *insert
appropriate anatomy*.  I'm constantly moving data between delimeted text
files, Excel spreadsheets, access databases, and mapinfo tables.

for instance opening a text file in excel will change the date/times to LOOK
right, but then you just try a simple export, and it turns them into some
stupid number, which is fine if it's going to another microsoft product, but
it's so difficult to just get a simple method of quickly porting the data
back and forth.

it's not so much of a hassle for me nowadays because i've made a bunch of
custom functions which do it with a button push.  but when i'm on someone
else's computer or trying to export something non-standard (relative to my
normal work) it normally takes 3 or 4 shots (and quarter of an hour of
head-banging) before i get the data looking the way it should.

however, to ease your mind on one part, MapInfo WILL correctly query out the
data you require.  best that you format the time as military with leading
zeroes just to be sure, ie. "7:30am" = "07:30".  MapInfo can even deal with
seconds, as that is what i use.  for instance i have my data looking like
this... "07:30:21", and if i use the query:

select * from Table where Time > "10:00" and time < "11:00" into
Selection

this will select all the correct times.

Subject: RE: MI-L Date / Time field in Access


Andre,

I don't see that MapInfo (v 6.5) supports times; only dates.  If this is the
case, then you will need to convert the field type in MS Access.  If you
convert the field to string, then keep in mind that if sorted, you may not
acheive the desired results.  For example 10:30 would be sorted before 9:00.
I would recommend converting to a string, extracting the numerical
characters, then converting to integer.

A round about way, but one that does the job.  Hopefully there is a more
direct solution.  Anyone?

Hi Everyone!

I'm hoping that someone can help me with a wee bit of a problem I'm having.
I have a Time/Date field in Access and the data in the field is simply 24
hour time i.e.. 23:04.  When I pull this into MapInfo it converts the
attribute data to a date which is not useful.  Do I have to change this
structure of the field to character in Access and then bring it into
MapInfo?  Once in MapInfo as a character field, can I do a query to extract
data between lets say...17:30 and 22:30???  

What the best way to approach this?

Yours Truly...

MI-L PDF hotlink web

[Peter Zyczynski]

Hi all,

I'm investigating the possibility of using PDF as an alternative to
the HTML Image Map tool that comes with Mapinfo.

The purpose is to create scalable, zoomable maps of bus routes and bus
stops that will be published to the internet.  It appears that PDF is
the easiest way to do this.

BUT...

I need the bus stops and bus routes to be clickable objects within the
PDF.  When the user clicks on one they are taken to another web page.
Essentially I'm after an embedded hotlink within the PDF.

Is this possible?

So far my attempts of using PDF Writer only produced 'dumb' pages, the
hotlink specified within the workspace was ignored in the final PDF.

Also I'm aware that I can introduce these hotlinks manually using the
editing features of PDF Writer, but this would be impractical as I
have hundreds of pages to produce.

Am I pursuing a dead end here?

>From my experience there I can tell that the "MapInfo files" are updated if

Shape files.

And you are right MapInfo creates a set of TAB files, which will be delete
again when you close the table
if you haven't turned on the "Object Cache" setting when opening the shape
file.

I haven't any experience in using this feature on very large shape file,
that often are updated. If this is the
case I guess MapInfo will have to "translate" the shape file every time it
is opening the shape file.

MI actually seems to translate the files rather than read them on the fly.
It creates a .tab, .id, .ind and .map file and uses the shape files .dbf
instead of the .dat file. I'm not sure whether any linking exists between
the files (i.e. if the shape gets edited is the MapInfo table updated ??)

MI-L Can't Open Union Queries from a access database in MapInfo

Hi All

Why is it so...

I'm trying to open a Union Query as a DBMS Table in MapInfo (Version 7.0 -
Build 26) and I get the following error. 

ODBC Error: ODBC RC=-1, ODBC SQLState=07001, DBMS RC=-3010, DBMS
Msg=[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Tow few parameters. Expected
1.. Unable to prepare table C:\qryTenementColours.TAB.

I can open normal tables and standard queries with no problems, but not a
union query.

WHY ???

Any ideas

Many thanks

Re: MI-L PDF hotlink web

[Philip Waight]

I think you can do what you want using a Distiller PDFMARK job file.

I use these job files to create a single PDF book of multiple layouts with
bookmarks as an index to each Layout. I note the following example in the
PDFmark guide:

% Custom Link action (URI link for the Acrobat WebLink plug-%
in)
[/Rect [ 50 425 295 445 ]
/Action << /Subtype /URI /URI
(http://www.adobe.com) >>
/Border [ 0 0 2 ]
/Color [ .7 0 0 ]
/Subtype /Link
/ANN pdfmark

So this means if you are prepared to print your maps/layouts to an
intermediate postscript file and then pass Distiller a job file with the PS
reference plus all your hotlinks (mapped to A4 page coords), then it should
work well. Some MapBasic which creates the hotlink references should be all
you need, then manually plug in the necessary header which looks something
like (I have never seen a more cryptic language):

/pdfmark where
{pop} {userdict /pdfmark /cleartomark load put} ifelse
/prun { /mysave save def
 dup = flush
RunFile
 clear cleardictstack
mysave restore
/dothumbnails
} def

[
/Count -20
/Title (your map title)
/Page 1 /OUT pdfmark
(your layout as a  postscript file.ps) prun
<--   I think the link statements go here (or prior to the prun)
/Title ..next map
/Page 2

Sv: MI-L Can't Open Union Queries from a access database in MapInfo

[Lars Nielsen]

Hi Howy,

Probably the same reason why I can't open an "inner join" in MS/SQL directly in MIPro.
I.e.: SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.ID = table2.ID

I thought, since MIPro consequently opens all views as readonly, that the mechanics 
behind creating the view was irrelevant and thus transparent to MIPro, and as such, 
all possibly view creation mechanisms were allowed. But apparently not ! It seems that 
your Access/Union Query falls into the same category.

Maybe someone, perhaps at MapInfo, wishes to expand on the subject ?
