MI-L Newcomer help
Hello, I am a total newcomer to MapInfo 7.0 but have programmed in VB / C++ / Lisp etc on other platforms. I have just got it installed and would like to know what are the available development platforms in MapInfo 7.0. I understand that the native development tool is MapBasic. My questions are: 1. Is Mapbasic the only platform for Mapinfo 7.0? If yes, how do I get started with it? Where is the online programmers documentation etc? 2. Is VB or VBA a possible programming tool? Let me know some answers so I can get started with your kind help.

Documentation can be downloaded for free from MapInfo at http://extranet.mapinfo.com/support/documentation/manuals.cfm#mapbasic, but you have to buy and install the development environment before you can build any applications. 2. Is VB or VBA a possible programming tool? You can use VB to send MapBasic statements to your application, but you still need some sort of MapBasic application as a base. VBA doesn't work. You can also call stdcall DLL's from MapBasic, so you can extend your MapBasic application with help from the Windows API or from code you write in Delphi, or any other language that can create stdcall DLLs (VB can't do this.) - Bill Thoen - List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14264

Re: MI-L App that Resolves Workspaces with Missing Tables
Check out my app. Just got back from Darwin and have finally perused all my emails =). Here is the final build for public use as I have not received as many feedback forms as I would have liked. http://www.directionsmag.com/files/index.php/view/619 Note to all who I have already emailled. The link above is the latest build. Allows full automation. Previous version I forgot to remove testing stubs so the search mechanism does not work properly: it will only show one table (the last one found.) I hope everyone finds this app time saving and useful! =] Especially the admins who have to deal with the IT / MIS guys who think it would be fun(ny) to change drive letters and the such. Resolve Workspace Tables from Steve's Mapinfo User's Toolbox (RWT-SMUT). This app will process a workspace file where tables are missing and generate a new workspace file which opens. This app is useful if your table files no longer exists as it removes all references to it in the workspace file. This app is also useful if the location of your tables have moved as there is a directory search facility that will replace the entry of your tables with the new location. (Note search directories must be set.) Functionality: Searching facility for missing tables. Removes references of missing tables. Options: Perform Search: Uses search directories set. Use 1st Option: Automatically uses first table found in search otherwise prompts user to select. Use Only Option: Automatically uses table found in search if it is the only one otherwise prompts user to select. I hope you all find it useful. I have currently extended the app so it does batch jobs. Works well although there is some part of the code I need to look at at the moment. - List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14266

Thanks to all who replied and confirmed what I basically already knew and that is : MI can communicate with SQL server directly once the correct ODBC drivers are installed and configured. regards Doug Pease GIS Officer Livingstone Shire Council PO Box 600 Yeppoon 4703 Qld Australia Ph07 49399957 Fax 07 49393290 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: MI-L Docking Toolbars Automatically
Sorry I could not reply ewarlier. Was in Darwin and had no access to the library of apps that I have created over the past few years. Try out this app. Freshly uploaded. http://www.directionsmag.com/files/index.php/view/620 I created it just under a year ago. You can manually save the positions of each buttonpad and apply them whenever you want. This includes buttonpads created from other apps. It will also execute when the app is first run. Hmmm. I stuffed up with the template ini file I uploaded. Edit files option does not work. Anyone know how I can upload an updated .zip My app will work... however it'll just apply my preferred toolbar settings with the current ini file. Just change the second line from a 1 to a 0 so it does not autoload on startup. - Steve On Fri, 26 Nov 2004 23:31:21 +0100, Peter Horsbøll Møller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You have to check the Save as Default too make MapInfo remember the settings the next you start up Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer Geographical Information IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

I have MapInfo Pro 7.8 set to dock all the toolbars upon openning (i.e. in Options--Toolbars, I have unchecked the float check box for ALL toolbars). However, I still have one that always loads up floating. When I check the Options--Toolbars, both the float checkbox is checked again. I uncheck this, check the box Save as Default, and try again. It still comes up as float. There must be something I am missing. Such a small problem and it is driving me nuts. Maybe I'm sleep deprived. Any ideas out there.
