[MI-L] How do I make a live link view non-editable?
Greetings list, I have a created a number of views based on a value in a base SpatialWare table and have made them mappable and then created a live link to them in MapInfo Pro. These mapped views have been created for different groups to use and I need to make them Read Only so folks cannot edit the base data. Does anyone know of a way make a live link table read only? I have tried changing the ReadOnly to TRUE in the TAB file and also restricting permissions for the user to SELECT only on the base table but neither method works. Any help or pointers greatly appreciated!

RE: [MI-L] MapInfo v8.5
Hi Greg, A few things: - Access to MapInfo Envinsa Online services, allowing you to find address, geocode and create driving isocrones by using a web service (must be a Envinsa or MapMarker web service). This means that you don't need address and street data locally. - reproject raster on the fly - Save thematics to tables metadata and reopening table using this thematics - Merging one map into another - adding a layer from one map into a another layer with settings (zoom layering, labels, etc) - storing a tables browser view as meta data - Copying values from the Message window and Statistic window - New Printing engine (support for large prints) - Larger dialogs, more buttons - more ... Many of these things were shown at the MapWorld in Phoenix 2 weeks ago. I really think there are some nice features in this release Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

Hi Søren Thanks very much for the code and advice. To deal with a simple question first: Close Window Message ' ??? Wasn't it Close Window Info? And why here, if you're suspicious - do it in the beginning... No, I'm closing the message window cos at the top of the save loop I display a user message: Print "Saving changes to position(s) of Facility(ies) ..." and this needs to be closed after update complete. I don't close the Info window because I haven't automatically opened it. I do so manually when testing but this isn't a desired feature of the system. As to why I don't do the update in the clever one-piece SQL you've provided: 1) My skill in using the MB GIS super-set of SQL isn't yet that keen that I would have even thought of doing it that way 2) As they say "if it ain't broke don't fix it", well the purist in me says "if it ain't changed don't update it". I'd have assumed that such a block update of the whole table would be asking for transaction errors to be more likely to creep in, the more the data changed. 3) I didn't know that doing such a global update would be quicker than doing such selected update(s) in the loop 4) I don't understand why your SQL adds a column Facmast.Zone when that column already exists "Add Column "FacMast" (Zone) From BusZoner" 5) I didn't know that the "contains" clause could be used without its object params (from Help): objectA Contains objectB first object contains the centroid of second object whereas you have : "Set To ZoneNumber Where Contains" It doesn't look viable to me. 6) True, it would obviate a lot of the code, but it's already written, and it doesn't take an appreciable length of time to run.

Re: [MI-L] Moving an object and it gets duplicated (part II)
Hi Terry, "Add Column "FacMast" (Zone) From BusZoner Set To ZoneNumber Where Contains" Add Column doesn't add a column. It is the way of saying "Where an object from BusZoner Contains an object from FacMast, fill in the values from the ZoneNumber column into the Zone column" Try it like this: Open Mapbasic window Goto Menu Table->Update Column Select the table to update in the first box (FacMast), the column(Zone) in the second and the table from which you get the values in the third box (BusZoner) and (ZoneNumber) in the fourth. Then press the button to the right - connect/merge (I've got a danish version of MI - so I can't tell the excact name) Then select the second method to merge the tables and in the drop-down use "Contains" Then watch the MB-window ;-) Don't be nervous - you can make a rollback table if it's wrong ;-) BTW, note the "Else" part in my suggestion. Wouldn't you like move objects back to the origin if the user presses 'No'? If the user presses 'No' objects are moved but not updated in the table. Next time, however, all columns are updated if the user presses 'Yes' including those that the user thought would not... And questions 2&3: Well, it is faster. And a set coordinates in your table is connected to your object. If it isn't moved, an update won't harm it. And if it is moved, it has to be updated. You could say that the object already knows where it is, and this piece of information is only displayed to you in a map. Then if you want the coordinates displayed then the table should always show you the right pair - also if it's moved.

[MI-L] Problem with Distance Calculator...
Title: Problem with Distance Calculator... Hi everyone! I'm having a bit of trouble with the 'Distance Calculator' tool in v8.0 and could really do with some help. I have 2 tables, Table 1 containing point objects and Table 2 containing polylines. I'm trying to calculate the shortest distance between each object in Table 1 to the nearest polyline in Table 2. This works fine for the vast majority of objects, but for some reason some of the objects are being assigned to polylines which are clearly not the nearest! It's only something like 1 in 20 of the objects that's doing this so it's easily corrected manually if I have a small number of objects and polylines, but the tables I'm working on at the moment contain something like 15,000 point objects - so that's quite a lot of incorrect distances being calculated! Anyone got any idea what's going on and how I can solve this problem? Thanks!

RE: [MI-L] Geocoding to Block Group
If i understand your question correctly, then yes, if your data has unique block group ID's you can determine the block group centroids (block group geocode). It's just a matter of joining your data with the block group data on the blockgroup ID. This of course assumes you have a block group map file(which can be downloaded freely from ESRIs web site or directly from the government. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 10:54 AMTo: mapinfo-l@lists.directionsmag.comSubject: [MI-L] Geocoding to Block GroupGreetings MapInfo-L Subscribers, Can MapInfo geocode to the block group level?

[MI-L] Selectpolygon tool (Mapxtreme 6.2 & visual basic .net 2003)
Good day.I'm working on visual basic
6.2 and mapxtreme 2004. I'm currently trying to make the selectpolygon tool show
me the info of all the points inside the polygon area.
The desktop application has several layers, one
for each kind of locale (hotels, restaurants and so on), what I'm trying to do
is allow the user to use a polygon to get all the available info on the locales
that reside within the drawn polygon. Basically, an infotool that returns all
the info of the points inside the drawn area.I've coded a new button with
the selectpolygon and added it to the toolbar. Also, I've defined a new function
to handle the adressof call.But now I'm kind of hazy as to how I can get the
polygon object out of the tool, so I can run a sql query to get the info of the
points. According to the reference guide, the selectpolygonmaptool namespace has
a property named 'selection' which I guess would return the geometry object I
need, but I just don't know how to access. Can you give me a few pointers on how
I should do that? I include the button creation code for reference:Dim
mpoint As MapInfo.Tools.IMouseToolProperties =
MapControl1.Tools.MouseToolPropertiesDim impoint As
MapInfo.Tools.IMapToolProperties = MapControl1.Tools.MapToolPropertiesDim
isel As MapInfo.Tools.ISelectMapToolProperties =
MapControl1.Tools.SelectMapToolPropertiesDim selpol As New
MapInfo.Tools.SelectPolygonMapTool( _False,

_MapControl1.Tools, _mpoint, _impoint,

You need to understand that all map frames that uses the same mapper window always are affected by changes to that mapper window, even if they are in separate layouts. This is the way it is, and very unlike for instance Autocad where different layout views can show the same model space in differenr scales and so on. But, since the mapper window is the object referenced in the map frame, you need to clone the mapper window and make one for portrait and one for landscape view. In order to exercise great control of the mapper window contents, I suggest you make them in the same h/w ratio as their respective renderings in the layouts. The scale is determined only by the zoom width, or the x axis.

When I try using the tool, it asks me to set the projection.(in this case it is Longitude/Latitude NAD 83). When the shape is imported, it is never in the correct location. (Always in the middle of nowhere!!!) Does anyone have this problem or am I doing something completely wrong.

[MI-L] Updated Workspace Resolver
I have a new prototype.The engine (glorified text parser) has been revamped and hopefully works smarter. Previously it was based on assumptions, and gee was the code an ugly beast.It now resolves errors caused by editable layers when reading from a CD or read-only tables. (easy but what-the-hey) It also "tries" to resolve column (names) that no longer exist / has been renamed. <--- Was painfull to implement as there are so many varying factors.We shall see.Anyone here interested in the above? Anyone have any extra feature requests? Anyone here want to help me test it out? Comments, Complaints, Compliments? =)Going to be really busy in the next few months but hopefully I'll have the time to release a decent version soon.PS Thanks to all those who supported my last effort. - Steve ChanBrisbane, Aust. ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
Re: [MI-L] MapInfo v8.5

This means that you don't need address and street data locally. - reproject raster on the fly - Save thematics to tables metadata and reopening table using this thematics - Merging one map into another - adding a layer from one map into a another layer with settings (zoom layering, labels, etc) - storing a tables browser view as meta data - Copying values from the Message window and Statistic window - New Printing engine (support for large prints) - Larger dialogs, more buttons - more ... Many of these things were shown at the MapWorld in Phoenix 2 weeks ago.
