RE: MI-L Multilistbox selection problem

[Peter Horsbøll Møller]

Hi Peter,

The ReadControlValue() used on a MultiList Control will return 0 if no items
were selected and when all selected items have been read.

I thing that also can be tricky is that if you have a handler on you dialog
that reads which item was selected in your MultiListbox this also seem to
destroy the list of selected items, in short: You can only read the selected
items from a MultiListBox once.

Here is an example of mine reading values from a MultiListBox:

'**
Sub HandlerSelectFrames

Dim nID As Integer,
szName As String

OnError GoTo ErrorOccured

nID = ReadControlValue(100)

If nID = 0 Then
ReDim arrNames(0)
ReDim arrNamesShown(0)
Exit Sub
End If

Do Until (nID = 0)
szName = arrNames(nID)

Insert Into FRAMES_SELECTED
(NAME)
Values (szName)

nID = ReadControlValue(100)
Loop

Commit Table FRAMES_SELECTED

Select * From TAB_STORE_FRAME
Where NAME in (Select NAME From FRAMES_SELECTED)
Order By PAPERSIZE, ORIENTATION, MAPSCALE
Into FRAMES_TO_PRINT NoSelect

Drop Table FRAMES_SELECTED

Exit Sub
'-
ErrorOccured:
Note ERR_ERRORMSG & lf & Error$()

End Sub
'**

RE: MI-L MI: Access2000

[Peter Horsbøll Møller]

MS Access2000 wasn't supported in MapInfo 4.5. I guess you need to upgrade
to either MapInfo 6.0 or 6.5, I don't quite remember when MS Access was
supported.

RE: MI-L Dialog Remove, Please

[Peter Horsbøll Møller]

Do remember that the "Dialog Remove" command isn't executed until the end of
the procedure it was placed in.

Knowing this will explain your problems. A way around this would be to set a
flag that tells you program if the second dialog, should be shown after
closing the first dialog, like this:

'***
Dim mbShowOtherDialog As Logical
Sub ShowDialog1

mbShowOtherDialog = FALSE
Dialog  Title "Dialog 1"
'and stuff

Control ListBox 'and stuff
Calling HandlerListBoxChange

Control OKButton
Control CancelButton

if mbShowOtherDialog Then
Call ShowDialog2
end if
End Sub

Sub HandlerListBoxChange
mbShowOtherDialog = TRUE
End sub

Sub ShowDialog2
Dialog Title "Dialog 2"
'and stuff

Control OKButton
Control CancelButton
End Sub
'***

But beware that the "Dialog Remove" command makes MapInfo/MapBasic think
that the dialog was cancelled (), so if you need any of the values in
the dialog, yo have to read them using ReadControlValue() before you remove
the dialog

Re: MI-L (3d) Third dimension and Text problem in Oracle

[David.J.Jerrard]

Hi Sisirak, and everyone

I have encountered the same fundamental problem with 3D Oracle Spatial data
which MapInfo steadfastly refuses to read properly (MI 7.0).

The data has been processed and uploaded to an Oracle 9i database using
GeoMedia.  Any data which I process in MapInfo and upload using EasyLoader can
be opened and processed using GeoMedia (albeit only 2D data).  But the reverse
does not seem to be possible.

I concede that using MapInfo (2D only) to modify valid 3D data in Oracle Spatial
is probably not a good idea, but I suggest that it *should* be possible for
MapInfo to access 3D data for display purposes (2D read only).

Can anyone shed any light on this?  All offerings gratefully received.

Cheers,
David Jerrard

Hi,

I have been working with enabling interoperability between different client
software around Oracle Spatial. MapInfo is just one of the clients and I
realised that this software hasn't implemented concept of reading two
dimensions from 3d object. More over, text is still poorly managed. Is there
anyone who could explain this or even offer any solution for the problem?

Thanks!

MI-L PostGIS export

[Robert Crossley]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a MapInfo uploader to PostGIS?  It seems that there is a program 
to take shape files to 
PostGIS, so there is an option there.  Alternatively I will write an mbx that exports 
the SQL required.  Not too hard, 
but could be slow to run.  Thought I would check if anyone has done it already, 
perhaps using mitab or something.

Now if only Mapinfo would read the tables directly

Re: MI-L Unicode support in Pro / TAB files?

[Kazuhiko Yamashita]

Hi Warren,

Sorry I have missed your posting on November 11 last year.
I am Japanese living in Japan and using MapInfo Pro 7 English on 
WindowsXP Japanese.
MapInfo Pro Japanese is more expensive than the original English 
version. :-)

It can handle Japanese data encoded with Shit-JIS.
Sometimes it does not appear properly on screen.
But I can use SQLs on two byte Japanese basis and  Japanese fonts can be 
printed properly on paper.

So I suppose what you need is Japanese Windows or Japanese setting on 
your English Windows ( I do not know how to do).
With MI pro English,  you can handle Chinese language on Windows 
Chinese, Korean  language on Windows Korean.

I used to try Unionway ( www.unionway.com ) for MapInfo pro 6.0 English 
on Windows98SE English.
It worked with Japanese  language data but "better than nothing" level.

I do not know  exactly what you are trying to do but  please give  me 
more specified purpose if possible.

Kind Regards,
   Hiko
Kazuhiko Yamashita
Fukuoka, Japan 

No answers from the list on this one but I did get an answer from the
technical guys at MapWorld. At the moment there is no native Unicode support
so my Japanese data will have to work on Japanese versions of Pro at the
moment. This will all change this year with the .NET direction.

Hello all,

Thought I'd ask a question for a change!

Does anyone know if Pro (and TAB files generally) support double byte
(Unicode) characters? I know that this must be supported in the many
localised versions of Pro (especially non Latin-alphabet based languages). I
have Unicode fonts which support the character areas I need (Japanese to
start) and would like to get data into TAB files for use within Pro. Any
help/tips from international -L'ers would be appreciated.

Re: MI-L region to Point .mbx

[B. Thoen]

You can do this without an mbx. First, set the symbol you want with 
Options/Symbol Style. Next, make the layer editable and make your 
selection. Then open the mapbasic window and enter:

Update Selection set obj=CreatePoint (CentroidX (obj), CentroidY (obj))

That should do it, or double your money back!

Re: MI-L Multilistbox selection problem

[MikeKilmore]

Peter,
Here is a sub that reads a multilistbox.  I populate the multilistbox with an 
array, where the first 6 characters is a unique id, which is read here to 
find IDs of the selected items.  The first item in the multilistbox is "All", 
which is handled specially. The selections are stored in a new table for 
later use.
Let me know if you want to see the array-making code.

MI-L Multilistbox selection problem

[Doyle, Peter W]

Greetings list,

I am having trouble trying to extract the selections of a MultiListBox control

I am calling the following from the OKButton Handler

Sub OKHandler

w = ReadControlValue(1) 'this is the MultiListCox control ID
Print UserSelection(w)

Do While (w > 0)
Print UserSelection(w)
w = ReadControlValue(1)
Loop

End Sub


In the above code w allways returns Zero as the value for the first item sellected no 
matter whether one or more items are sellected. I thought Zero was returned when all 
selections had been read.

How do I get w to return the correct value of the first selected item.

I have read the Mapbasic manuals and searched the Mapinfo Knowledge base
(all they tell you is that you need to do subsequent reads of the control to return 
the vale of each selection in turn)

What am I doing wrong, any help or code snippets would be appreciated

MI-L Dialog Remove, Please

[MikeKilmore]

In a dialog, I have a ListBox calling a sub that reads the user-selection, 
Remove Dialog, and calls another sub to open another dialog.  The first 
dialog does not go away as I want.

The second dialog has a button to call the first dialog again,  whose sub 
begins with an error-protected Dialog Remove.  Again, the dialog remains, so 
I get lots copies of the dialogs that won't go away until Cancel.

How can I make them go away as a new dialog opens?  Using MapBasic 7.0.  
Thanks.

MI-L Failed Opening Data Registry Entries

[Barsukoff, Vera]

Title: Message



I am having a 
problem running the Find Address Tool due to MapInfo being unable to open the 
"Data Registry".
 
When MapInfo is 
starting up I get the message "Failed Opening Data Registry Entries" and when I 
go to use the "Find Address" tool, I get a window asking for information I don't 
know how to provide.
 
Has anyone 
experienced this? and how do I fix this so I can use Find 
Address?
 
Thanks for any help 
I can get.

RE: Re[2]: MI-L HP plotting problems with oversized Paper

[Ryan Morgan]

One way around the issue altogether is to plot to Adobe Distiller in a
smaller size (say 45"X45") then rasterize the .pdf in Photoshop, blow it up
to the size you would like, save it as either a .tif or .jpg, and send that
file to the plotter.  If you would like to go this route and are printing
any aerial photography, reply and I'll send you a file with custom settings
for Distiller that really helps out.  This goes for anyone else interested
as well.

Good Luck!

Hi Darrin

Thanks for the answer. This compatibility stuff seems to me an excuse
and a bad one in addition (there would be a limit under Win 95/98, so
what ? there are more limits then that in Win95/98, not ???). And i.e.
Corel is compatible and works with large size stuff and under 95/98...

And second what MapInfo says seems not correct to me, such as it i.e.
works using the HP 5000 RTL/HPGL Driver (there we were able to print
out more 2.500 meters = about 100") with a resolution of 600 dpi
which is way over the mentioned 28000 pixels - or not ? And with the
HP 800 I get the gray background already with way smaller paper sizes
(and it is btw the same driver).

Anyway, I think MapInfo should solve this problem! ... or is all still
16 bit = DOS 1.0 compatible ... ;-) ...

Best regards
Flavio

MI-L Mapbasic Earth from Space

[Rainer zaiss]

I have seen a Mapbasic application that transforms the current map 
window in an image like seen from space. I cannot find this application 
anymore on the web. I would transform a worldmap to represent it as 
cercle like seen from space with a longitude and latitude grid.

Thanks

RE: MI-L HP plotting problems with oversized Paper

[Darrin Clement]

We've had similar problems and here is the explanation from
MapInfo - which actually solved the problem.  Short answer -
the maximum page dimension (in inches) multiplied by the
resolution needs to be less than 28,000.  But here's the
"official" answer:


*
It sounds like you are running into the pixel limitation for
printing in
MapInfo.  Currently, in order to support Windows 95/98, as
well as Windows
2000/NT platforms, there is approximately a 28,000 pixel
limitation for
printouts.  Cases of "gray layouts," like your situation,
are usually
caused by trying to create printouts larger than 28,000
pixels.

The number of pixels can be calculated by multiplying the
dimensions (in
inches) by the resolution.  For instance, if your resolution
is 600 dpi and
your plot is 28", there are 16,800 pixels in that dimension.
That is below
the limit, so it should work.  The only thing that I can
think of that
would put you over the limit with a layout that is only 28"
is the
resolution.  You would need to check the settings or
documentation for your
printer to see what resolution it is printing at and lower
it if possible.

Hi

We often encounter the following problem and I would be
astonished if
that has never happened before (however I did not find
anything in the
archive):

With large size hp plotters (such as the 800 or 5000
models), if you
create user defined paper size or use oversize papers (such
as 42" by
60") the following happens (differs depending on driver and
plotter
settings):

1. The layout window turns 100% grey, such as everything
would be
interpreted as "paper border" and you cannot plot at all
(means
MapInfo creates an empty plot)

2. You can plot, everything look ok, but the plotter stops
at
approximately 1.20 meters (approx. 47") ...

MI-L Legend Creator

[Simon Helyar]

Hi All,

Has anyone created or know of a mapbasic application that can be used to create a 
simple legend based on the
different object symbols used in a map window ?

I know the obvious answer is to create thematics, however, the application I have 
written allows the user to 
customer exactly which symbols are used for each type of object in the map window.  It 
would be nice to have
a small legend window to show the user what the symbols represent.

Can anyone help ?

Regards

Simon Helyar

MI-L Linking Mapinfo to a Powerpoint presentation

[Livings Michael]

Hello,
I'm sure this should be very easy but after quite some time searching the
net for a solution I am still at a loss.
I have been requested to compile a presentation in Powerpoint (no problem so
far), however it is necessary that the maps presented be interactive. This
means that I can't do things the simple way and just create a series of
.jpegs to import.
I have been told that it should be possible to create a link between Mapinfo
and Powerpoint so when a certain slide is reached I can link to a preset
workspace. Does anybody have an idea how this can be done.
Any help will be gratefully recieved
Thanks in advance

Michael Livings
