MI-L MB Compiler
Hello List This will no doubt sound like a stupid question to many, but please bear with my lack of knowledge and naiveity if you dare. As I am trying to get into learning Mapbasic, I'm wondering if there are any options for shareware/trialware compilers or any other alternative for where I can practise mapbasic, short of purchasing it myself. Your expert guidance and/or ridicule will be much appreciated! Just out of curiosity, how much does a compiler cost? I s'pose I could always find out from MAPINFO but that would be too easy Thanks!

MI-L MI 7 & and multi monitors
Hi all, This is not a big issue, just a little annoyance that probably has an easy fix. I have both MI 6.5 and MI 7 installed on a PC which has multi monitors. When applications are opened they normally do so in the primary (right) monitor, and MI 6.5 also does this. However, MI 7 ALWAYS opens up maximised in the secondary (left) monitor. meaning that I usually have to normalise the window, move it to the other monitor and maximise (only takes 2 seconds, just gets annoying). My experience is that many apps store the coordinates for start up window positions in the registry, but I can't find anything appropriate. Does anyone know how MI determines start up position (.ini, registry etc.)?

RE: MI-L A question
this will most likely be determined by what version of the MI OLE automation
library is referenced in your project.
i can't say for certain as i only have a single version of mapinfo installed
on my machine, but i think having two versions and attempting to register
them both in your project may cause conflicts. i'm not sure if you can
alias a reference, if you could that would help a great deal.
you could attempt to switch references in code based on what version you
wish to instantiate, however i don't know how to do this as i've never
needed to.
the next option is a bit messy, but do-able. you could reference MI7
through it's library, but when instantiating MI6 you could do it through a
variant object. this requires a lot more self-checking and stuff, but it's
the way things used to werk. this may require that you SHELL mapinfo 6.5
and then use GetObject.

Your message did appear on the MapInfo-L mailing list, but if you did not
get a response yet it's because either no one here knew the answer or did
not have time to answer. The "irrelevant" messages you received are other

To do this, you need to launch the MapInfo exe for the version you want to
use and include the path and file name for the application on the command
line with it. You can use the Run option on the Start menu, or create a
shortcut that executes the version you want with the app. You may need to
use complete path names, and also double quotes around the file names.

Re: MI-L MapBasic and MS Access in the Mystery of the Crashing Ap plication
Bill, Peter, I think the reason that mapInfo crashes or rebuilds the indices is that it is a workaround for a bug that has been in there for a few versions. Since version 6.0? or at least when multiuser access to Access tables was allowed: If you have several tables in one Access database, and some of them had indices on them, and then you opened a couple of them, made an edit on one and then even did a selection on another, Mapinfo would crash. The workaround given at the time was to destroy your indices for all the tables in the same database as the table your editing before you edit and rebuild them afterwards. This was of course pretty useless if you needed the indices to find the records to edit in less than a geological timeframe. So for me the workaround was to create an array of pending edits while I had the indices intact, delete the indices, apply the edits and rebuild the indices. So anyway, a couple of years later, the workaround was embedded into MapInfo as a "fix" and it seems to do it automatically. Less GPFs, but still a major performance problem. The problem still exists sometimes as it doesn't always fire off when your running a MapBasic program. In my current app, it has got so bad that I am now storing each table in a separate Access database. Next step is back to Mapinfo native tables. So much for referential integrity and all that. If edits are being made outside of Mapinfo, then I imagine the triggers to rebuild indices are not happening, so you get left with the GPF? Welcome to my nightmare.

This could also be used to label the roads with the road name if the

The trick is that Int() returns the integer value of the expression in side

MI-L Labeling
Is there a way to label in MapInfo 7.0 using some type of if, then (if attribute field equals certain value then label). What I need to do seems simple but I just can't seem to figure it out. I have a streets centerline file with an attribute field classifing the type of roadway each segment is. In this attribute field, I have 4 classifications of data (mja, mna, mjc, mnc). If I want to label only streets with attribute data of mja and not label the other streets segments how can I do this? Thanks in advance.

RE: MI-L MapBasic and MS Access in the Mystery of the Crashing Ap plication
Hi Bill, One thing that has annoyed me when creating MB application opening Access tables thru DAO is that MapInfo sometimes recreates the index on these tables. I have not been able to figure out when or why. In the beginning I thought it only occured when opening the "tables", but this teory wasn't completely true. I have not been able to figure out the entire truth about this issue, yet.

MI-L MapBasic and MS Access in the Mystery of the Crashing Application
I'm trying to debug a rather large MapBasic application that mysteriously crashes sometimes (and takes MapInfo down with it.) Evidence from numerous autopsies indicates that it dies in different places, but sometimes it makes it through the region of suspect code without a problem. It also works fine on some machines. I've heard a rumor that using MS Access with MapBasic sometimes causes problems like this, and this application does make heavy use of Access. Does anyone know of specific issues with MB and Access that I should consider in tracking down this evil genius of a bug before it strikes again? -- - Bill Thoen GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 http://www.gisnet.com/ - List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 9172
RE: MI-L Export to *.TXT
I would recommend that you just use the Print #nFile, statement to print directly to a file. Start by opening the file using "Open File .. for Output .." Now you can create string to print using you varables And filanlly the "Close File #..." Closes the file.

MI-L Export to *.TXT
Hello Mappers, On this dull and dreary Monday I would like to output some data to a TXT file or similar (CSV, DBF)... I have written some MB code to report info on a point of interest. When clicked on, attribute info is passed into variables and then displayed on a custom dialog. I want the option to click on a button on that dialog to output this data to a file that can be manipulated elsewhere. All the values are currently held in variables other than some unique values, I'd like to output them to a text file as follows: Unique1 Unique2 Unique3 Var1Var2 Unique4 Var3Var4 Unique5 Var5Var6 The TXT file would be comma separated like this: ,Unique1,Unique2 Unique3,Var1,Var2 Unique4 ,Var3,Var4 Unique5 ,Var5,Var6 My initial thoughts are to create a temporary table which I subsequently delete, into which I create new rows updated with the values above. I could then probably initiate Table>Export through MB code to output to TXT?? Does anyone have any thoughts or tidier solutions? Am I going the long way down the garden path again?

Re: MI-L Importing XL into MI V7.0
MI up to v7 can open 32000 rows. MI v7.5 can open up to 65000 rows. CSV is good choice for importing your data. - Original Message - From: "Richard Hill" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Mapinfo-List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 7:23 AM Subject: MI-L Importing XL into MI V7.0 > Hello everyone, > Is there any limit on the size of an XL spreadsheet that can be opened > in MI V7.0? > I tried opening about 33000 lines of assay and geology data and only the > first 32500 or so came up in the browser window, the rest come up very > slowly as zeros as I scroll down. > Would it be better to import them from a csv or txt file? > > Cheers, > Richard Hill > Southern Titanium NL > - List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 9168

MI-L Importing XL into MI V7.0
Hello everyone, Is there any limit on the size of an XL spreadsheet that can be opened in MI V7.0? I tried opening about 33000 lines of assay and geology data and only the first 32500 or so came up in the browser window, the rest come up very slowly as zeros as I scroll down. Would it be better to import them from a csv or txt file? Cheers, Richard Hill Southern Titanium NL
