RE: [MI-L] Extracting Table information.
A couple of solutions come to mind, but one requires you have a particular application installed. 1) The easiest, most workable method comes with a big IF... IF you happen to be an Ultra Edit text editor user, you can search within files specifing only to search inside of *.WOR files and to search for just the table you're looking for. Set the output to an editable window and you will have a real working list you could copy, paste. The useful results can allow a mulitude of possibilites. 2) You could use the Windows search mechanism, or at least you once could. By searching for all instances of *.tab within the files of a specific directory. I don't think you could just search within specific files. 3) I seem to recall, there may be some function you could right into the Mapbasic Window within Mapinfo, one that would list all the workspaces where your table is found.

RE : [MI-L] VB.NET Integrated Mapping
Your VB.NET application must act as a DDE client, because Mapinfo acts as a DDE server. RemoteMessageHandler and RemoteQueryHandler fire when DDE request is received. DDE API does not exist within .NET. They only exist in C language, and it's too hard to integrate them into VB code. You have to write a C DLL to manage DDE, creating a simple interface with DDE API's, that could be used from VB code. I have written this DLL, I could send you an example ? My DLL does not manage multiple DDE connection at the same time. Only one at a time. You will have to adapt the DLL to manage more than one DDE connection at the same time.

I can run all sorts of MapBasic commands and launch MBXs. But I haven't figured out how to reference the individual MapBasic applications I've started to access their RemoteMessageHandlers or invoke their RemoteQueryHandlers. How does one properly set this up in VB.NET?

[MI-L] MI Pro v8 File Conversion
Title: MI Pro v8 File Conversion Hi, I was wondering if anyone had attempted to use MapInfo Pro v8 to attempt a conversion of the Y2001 USGS NLCD to any of the following formats? ArcView SHP ArcView Binary USGS DEM MSI Planet The file formats that accompany the download from the USGS website is as follows: *.adf, *.dat, *.nit, *.aux *.001. Any advice, guidance or info on possible problems one might encounter during conversion would be greatly appreciated. BR, Frank Aaron, MSc.

[MI-L] RE: Object Change detection
Joe, I don't know about the best way - however if performance is most important I would test in the following sequence (Designed for polygons / polylines) (1) Compare the centroids of the objects (2) Compare the count of object / line (use ObjectInfo(obj, OBJ_INFO_NPOLYGONS) (3) Compare the count of nodes within a polygon /polyline (use ObjectInfo(obj,OBJ_INFO_NPOLYGONS+n where n is nth Polygon) (4) Compare the node information between for each node (use ObjectNodeX(Obj , NthPolygon ,NthNode)ObjectNodey(obj , NthPolygon ,NthNode) Just ensure you stop (exit the loop(s)) as you find the difference.

[MI-L] RE: PDA vs small tablet PC for geology fieldwork
Title: RE: PDA vs small tablet PC for geology fieldwork Look at the Panasonic Toughbook range. They are laptops with swivel screens so you can turn them into a tablet PC. They have a touch screen. They are quite resilient as well. Battery life is 3 - 4 hours, but you can get a car adaptor if you are working in a car. We use a Trimble receiver plugged into the serial port and Mapinfo has Blue Marble included for the GPS software.

RE: [MI-L] PDA vs small tablet PC for geology fieldwork
HI Steve Look at the Motion computingtablet devices, espcially the LS800 - has bluetooth and wireless build in. - Ultra small - about 23cm by 19 cm - and have a full colour 8 inch screen. They run full windows XP Tablet edition. http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/tablet_pc_ls.asp If you are serious about field work and in that blazing Aussie sun, also take a look at the optional extra of the 'View Anywhere' display - this add on option is quite a bit extra but well worth it. Plus the beauty of it all is that you can run MI Pro on the tablet - try that on a palm/pda!! If you used one of these you'd never ever think of a palm/pda device again.

I am attracted to this because I wouldn't need any other mobile software but I am wondering about battery life etc. Can anyone recommend a small rugged Tablet PC that would work with a GPS card for fieldwork.

[MI-L] Object Change detection
Dear All, What is the best (fastest) method (in MapBasic) to detect geometric changes made to an object that has had no alterations to its attributes. This would be dealing with an old and new version from which you would be attempting to find the changes. Thanks Joe Nunn ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
[MI-L] Simple MI question. Any help appreciated
Title: Simple MI question. Any help appreciated Dear all, I have a very simple question that is driving me crazy. I'm trying to create a process that converts a table full of links (lines) into regions (simple rectangles) depending on their values. I have managed to produce a function that calculates the corner points and the bearing of the line. I'm just have trouble call the function and passing variable correctly. sOutputBands is my link table bLine is my link object oBand is my newly mapped region Set ProgressBars Off Set Map Redraw Off FETCH First From sOutputBands Do While NOT EOT(sOutputBands) ??? FETCH Next From sOutputBands Loop Set Map Redraw On Set ProgressBars On My function, CreateRect, works by passing the link object, the width of the band, the offset from the original link the region is to mapped and the side of the line to plot the region... Function CreateRect(bLine as Object, bWidth as Float, bOffset As Float, bSide As String) as Object Can anyone please advise me on how to call my function properly and correctly pass variable. I think I've done the hard work calculating the region corners and bearing of the line. For some reason I'm struggling with the easy biti.e the ???'s in my above do loop.

RE: [MI-L] Extracting Table information.
Title: Extracting Table information. Workspaces are text documents so in windows you can search for files with .wor in the filename containing the name of your tab file (right click on a folder in my documents and search). Problem is if it ends in .wor it will not be searched as a text file so temporarily rename your workspace files with .txt at the end with a handy program A.F.5 rename your files. I guess there is a simpler way out there though.
