RE: MI-L autocad map 3d and mapinfo
I've used it. The CAD engine used is a lot stronger then MapInfo's and has 3D-coordinates, you get much more manipulation functions to edit the graphical side of the data. Disadvantage is that the interfaces to attribute data, queries and remote databases have more of a "technical look and feel" the user-level for AutoCAD Map is therefor of another level. If your organization needs accurate geometry, has lots of plain AutoCAD files and is specially looking into getting data connected to drawings and doing some simple queries; Get AutoCAD Map. If you need to do more advanced analyses; Get MapInfo. It is also absolutely no problem to let the two live together, when you use common databases between MapInfo en AutoCAD Map. I would say, put AutoCAD Map in the technical departments and MapInfo at strategic and sales.

RE: MI-L Integrated Mapping
Tony,
You can use integrated mapping from within .NET - the process is slightly
different from VB6 but works just as well. The fisrt thing you need to do is
create a reference to the MapInfo COM component. To do this in Visual Studio
2003 you right-click on the references item in the Solution Explorer and select
"Add Reference..." from the menu. In the dialog that appears select the tab
titled "COM" and scroll through the list until you find an entry called
"MapInfo n OLE Automation Type Library" where n is the version of MapInfo you
are running, in my case this is 7.8 so I assume in your case it would be 8.0.
Highlight the entry and then click on the "Select" button, then click "OK".
You will now have an entry under references called "MapInfo"
Now you can start writing the code in your form. The same principles apply as
if you are using VB6 with a couple of differences. First of all you need to
remember that where VB6 has a property called hWnd for the handle of a control
VB.NET uses the actual word handle.
I usually create a private variable called miObj as type MapInfo.DMapInfo at
the top of the form so all functions and subs on the form can access the
object, then in the form load event I use the following:
objMI = CType(CreateObject("MapInfo.Application"), MapInfo.DMapInfo)
objMI.Do("Set Application Window " & Me.Handle.ToString)
objMI.Do("Set Next Document Parent " & Me.MapControl.Handle.ToString & " Style
1")
Now just issue the statements to control MapInfo using objMI.Do
Hope this helps!

Subject: MI-L Integrated Mapping
Hi All
I am doing a bit of playing around with integrated mapping.
In the mapbasic book there is some sample code that looks something like
this:
Sub Form_Load()
Dim mi As Object
Set mi = CreateObject("MapInfo.application")
mi.do "Set Application Window " & Form1.hWnd
mi.do "Set Next Document Parent " & Form1.hWnd & " Style 1"
mi.do "Open Table ""World"" Interactive Map From World"
mi.RunMenuCommand 1702
mi.do "Create Menu ""MapperShortcut"" ID 17 As ""(-"" "
End Sub
I cant make this work at all from either Access 2003 or Visual Basic
.NET. Am I right in assuming that V8 of Map Info is not .NET compliant
(I am assuming that Access 2003 is) and therefore wont work and that
perhaps we have to wait till the .NET version is released in Oct, or am
I not doing this right. All I want to do is display a map window on an
access form, and throw a few mapbasic commands at the window to do a few
clever things for a demo I am doing.
Cheers

MI-L Problems with Select in a Mapbasic Program
Hello Listers, I have a Mapbasic Program that is supposed to Select all the records from a table, order them by a specific column, into another table and commit the table as another table. The problem is the program gives me an error stating the "Expression does not evaluate to a column or table name" The column that I wish the selection ordered by does exist in the table that I am trying to make the selection from. I am stumped. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

MI-L Saving Find Paramaters
Hello, is anyone aware of a way to save the paramaters you set when performing a find. For instance when searching on a roads layer I sometimes use a zip code boundary to refine the search, but this does not always find my location, so I switch from a zip code boundary file to a civil division table to refine the search. Wish there was a way to save these paramaters and be able to toggle back and forth between them instead of actually using the drop-down menu and switching tables manually. I know this isn't too hard to do, but thought there may be an easier way. Thanks!
MI-L Integrated Mapping Clone Windows
Hello fellow MI addicts! I am building an integrated Mapping application in Visual Basic and we use the Mapbasic command Clone window to get several mapwindows open that are in base the same, but get different thematic maps attached to them. In some cases, and we can't figure out when, we close a cloned window and try to set the frontwindow back to our main mapwindow. MapInfo refuses to answer to the set frontwindow command and keeps returning 0 as frontwindowID. Is there anyone who has experience with a problem like this? Losing frontwindow after closing a cloned window?

MI-L Points to Polygon
Further to my question about converting points to polygon, I have used the convex hull tool in MI and it works. I was wondering if there is a concave hull creator out there. This would provide a little more detail when combining my points to a polygon as the convex makes it rather generalized. Thanks, Cam - Original Message - From: "Cameron McGregor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Monday, July 18, 2005 7:31 PM Subject: MI-L Points to Polygon Hi there, I was wondering if anyone had a method/MBX of being able to take a point file and turn it into a polygon. The points would be huddled together for the most part in one area. What I would anticipate the process doing is taking the outmost points and connect them to create an enclosed polygon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: MI-L Error when splitting polygons
Phil, If it is not unrealistic from a data perspective, you may get a better result if you overlay the nodes of the target object to the splitting object first. I am not sure what the effect is caused by, but have seem it myself when splitting one of two adjoining polygons, and then the two polygons not adjoining correctly anymore. I needed to also insert a node in the adjoining (unsplit) polygon as well. It may be something to do with projections and where MI projects the intersection to be from two differnt nodes, and how this fits in with the line. Not quite sure. r On Fri, 29 Jul 2005 16:31:52 +0100, Broggio, Phil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Has anyone come across a potential bug in MapInfo when splitting or erasing polygons?
