[MI-L] aux-files
Hi there I've got some tiff-files with aux-files (ArcGIS Auxiliary File for GIS Datasets, the internet says). I can't open these aux-files in Mapinfo 8.0 Does anyone know a possibility to open these files in Mapinfo?

RE: [MI-L] aux-files
Tako I wouldnt think MI can make use of the .aux directly, but it might be possible for you to extract the projection info (its a bit like a world file - .tfw) You can get this sort of info by a quick search of the ESRI knowledgebase: The .aux file contains any other information: -statistics, -color map, -world reference, -projection system(in case it can't be saved within the image file) -etc. When ArcGIS access the image for the first time, it can get this information from other files (.hdr, .tfw, etc.). Then it generates the .aux. Next time the image is read, it only read the .aux The aux file is generated the first time ArcGIS access any image file. It is a binary file used by ArcGIS to store ancillary information on the data, such as the world coordinates, the spatial reference, the statistics, etc. The world file is a text (hence editable) file to define the world coordinates and resolution of the image. Note that once the .aux file is created, ArcGIS doesn't use the world file anymore. If you change the world file manualy, then you need to delete the .aux file before opening the image again in ArcGIS; otherwise, ArcGIS would still read the world information in the .aux. (Ive just grabbed a couple of threads, as an example).

[MI-L] Menus - swapping in and out
Hi Listers I have my own menu bar items set up but, for testing purposes, I've allowed the standard MI menus to stay up (so I can make GOOD use of them). Now I want to: Replace the std MI menu with my own When the user closes my app's window I want my menus to disappear and the std. MI menu to replace it. This is because my users use native MI too and want to be able to simply revert to this. Now I know all about usng the WinClosedHandler() to bring this about - at the moment I just disappear all my windows. What I'd like is to know a simple and efficient way of achieving the above. The Menu Bar Hide command doesn't specify WHICH menu to hide/show. Is there some way of swapping menus in and out?

RE: [MI-L] Menus - swapping in and out
Terry, A few suggestions, but none completely safe ... 1. Restoring the standard MapInfo Pro menu bar: Create Menu Bar As Default This has the sideeffect that any 3rd part tools embedded in the menus, are gone/lost. I think what actually happens is, that MapInfo reloads the MapInfow.mnu. You could then consider running the MapBasic applications again ... 2. Hiding/removing your own menu: Alter Menu BarRemove "TerrysMenu" This will remove your menu from the Menu Bar, but not restore the default MapInfo Pro menu structure. When you remove the menu, you don't destoy it, so you can easily add the menu again with: Alter Menu BarAdd "TerrysMenu" If you have embedded your own menus in other menus, you could use this syntax: Alter MenuID1 Remove"TerrysMenu" Unfortunately, you can't toggle between two menu bars ...

Title: Message Thanks, Greg This is what I was hoping to avoid. Terry From: Driver, Greg 9434 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 April 2006 14:00To: Terry McDonnellSubject: RE: [MI-L] Menus - swapping in and out Terry, As you're only allowed one menu bar I think you'd have to use the Alter Menu Bar commands to remove all the standard MapInfo ones and then use Create Menu Bar to add your custom ones.Likewise, when your app is closed you'd use the Alter Menu Bar command toremove your custom items and Create Menu Bar to re-instate the MapInfo standard ones. The Menu Bar Show/Hide command simply shows or hides the menu bar, rather than altering/removing it.
