[MI-L] SUMM: Mouseover text different to label?
On 12 Jul 2006 at 8:14, David Baker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Their suggestion is that the standard label only shows Name and Update date time to make it less crowded. However, when they put their mouse over the top of the ship, it should show the full label in the hover-text (writing in yellow box triggered by mouse hovering). Thanks to all those who responded basically solved the problem for me, especially Mats, Andrew Jason. Just to summarise that it is as easy as having 2 layers with labels. The upper layer contains full labels but labels are turned off. The lower layer has partial labels labels are turned off. It seems the uppermost layer that has labels will be the one shown when the mouse hovers over the object. The following portion of a screen dump shows how it looks in real life, and everyone is very happy with it. http://www.jodael.com/NewLabelMethodCivAnon.JPG Dave ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l

[MI-L] SerachInfo, SearchRect and SearchPoint or .....something else ?
Title: Message Hi There are at least 4 selection modes on a map : - by clicking a point (SearchPoint(x,y)) - by selecting a rectangle (SearchRectangle(x1,y1,x2,y2) - by selecting all the objects included into a closed polygon - by selecting a circle witha variableradius : in this case, how to query (by program) the objects included into the circle ?

RE: [MI-L] SerachInfo, SearchRect and SearchPoint or .....something else ?
Title: Message Chris, You can always create a polygon from your circle and use this to select the objects with. This can be done thru SQL: oCircle = Buffer(CreatePoint(X,Y), 24, fRadius, "m") Select * From MYTABLE Where OBJ Within oCircle Into Selection You can of course use Entirely Within or Intersects in stead of Within - depending on your requirements. As far as I remember you can also thru MapX (and MapXtreme2004 ?) do a dynamic selection with a circle, where the selection changes when you make the circle smaller og bigger Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

[MI-L] File Exist loop
Title: File Exist loop Hi all, I have an external program which I call from MI. The result of this is a text file being created which I then read in for input into MI. Does anyone know how to tell MI to wait until the external file has been created before trying to open it ? I'm guessing I need a FileExists Loop of some sorts but am banging my head against a wall to get it to work. Many thanks for all your help previously.

Re: [MI-L] Features of MI 8.5 and GeoRSS Coming Soon
Greetings all, As a followup to Bill's message we are pleased to announce that the GeoRSS reader is now available from the MapInfo Web site. You will find this and a couple of other applications that demonstrate how the XML/HTTP and FTP libraries can be used. For those not familiar with this, these libraries were added to MapBasic version 8.5. http://www.mapinfo.com/location/integration?txtTopNav=NOT_SELECTEDtxtLeftNav=NOT_SELECTEDtxtExtNav=NOT_SELECTEDtxtDetailType=FREEFORM_TEXTAREAtxtDetailID=5188 The applications include source code.

One thing that caught my eye was that now that MapInfo supports XML and HTTP, it looks like they're going to provide a GeoRSS reader as a MapInfo utility. These new network capabilities seem to me to be a wide-open opportunity for integrating MapInfo into all sorts of distributed information applications. ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l

[MI-L] WMS Server--Terraserver in 8.5
I have been playing with the WMS Server in MI Pro 8.5 Specifically, the Microsoft TerraServer. How do I tell how old the ortho quads I am accessing are? I seem to have many roads on my street database that are not showing up on the orthos. As a side to this, If I can figure out how to use this feature, it will make territory creation much more accurate for me. This is a really cool feature. WOW MAPINFO -- GOOD JOB.

Re: [MI-L] File Exist loop
Title: File Exist loop
Hi Stuart,
VB had a DoEvents construct that allows control to pass back to other
running processes, so one process doesn't hang the system. MapBasic
doesn't include that statement, unfortunately. A loop in MapBasic will
thus always be active.
And an active loop that queries for the existence of a file will hog
too many cpu cycles, and therefore it's not a good idea.
Besides, a file exist from when it's created, before it's ready to be
read, so there's also some syncronization issues to handle as well.
What you're doing is waiting for is an external program, so why not let
the external program itself tell the MapBasic app that the file is
ready ?
This is how a VB program would do that (oMIPro is the object reference
to MIPro) :
oMIPro.MBApplications("yourname.mbx").Do "I am ready to rock"
The MapBasic RemoteMsgHandler will be invoked, and
CommandInfo(CMD_INFO_MSG) will return the sent command string, here
it's "I am ready to rock".
HTH
