[MI-L] Unable to delete image
Hello, I am developing a MapBasic application in which I need to refresh a geo-referenced image in a layer dynamically. The image TIFF file needs to the have the same name so I need to first detach the image (or delete the layer?) and re-attach the same? Can someone guide me the correct sequence of procedure to follow? I have read about many prospective commands to do the same, like: 1. Remove Map Window FronWindow() Layer LayerName 2. Drop Map layerName 3. Close table LayerName 4. Drop Table LayerName 5. Kill TIFFFile I am getting confused what is/are the correct statement(s) to use? What is the correct sequence to use? Which ones to use and which ones not to use? The way I have it now - I am running statements (1), (3) and (5) but get an error saying that the TIFFFile cannot be deleted. If I delete it from the OS level (using Windows Explorer, it deletes without problems). What is happening here? Can someone enlighten me? I need to delete this file in order to be able to rename another newly generated file into this name and attach the refreshed layer. Any quick help / tips are greatly appreciated. I am under pressure to get this sorted out.

[MI-L] Event based programming
Hello, I have a dialog based application in which I need to update a raster image in a layer and show the dialog again soon after. Is there a way to temporarily hide the dialog box? How do I find out if the dialog box has closed? On a similar note, how do I trap the event when MapInfo is about to exit? Any help is appreciated.

[MI-L] Setting the Map Window size
Hello, In MapBasic, how do I set the coordinates of the current Map Window (FrontWindow). I have the values llX, llY and urX, urY with me and would like to set the current window coordinates and also zoom (or set the size) of the window to this value. I tried the few options in the Set Map command but am not clear how the inter-play between the units in the map window / workspace etc work. This my code fragment that I used: dX = xMax - xMin dY = yMax - yMin cenPtX = xMin + (0.5 * dX) cenPtY = yMin + (0.5 * dY) Set Map Window FrontWindow() Center (cenPtX, cenPtY) Distance Units m Zoom dX Units m Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance. - Regards - Rakesh Rao [ rakesh.rao(at)4d-technologies.com ] - Four Dimension Technologies [www.4d-technologies.com] - Get GeoTools, Work smarter: www.4d-technologies.com/geotools - Free Lisp downloads @ TechCenter: www.4d-technologies.com/techcenter ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l
[MI-L] Icon Image Buttons in dialogs
Hello, I am trying to build a MapBasic dialog box with icons in Push buttons which act like toggles. One push and it is On and Push again, it is Off. I need to be able to dynamically change the icon of each button as it is depressed (like in VB) by changing the bmp's. How do I do this? What control I must use?

Hi David, You can import multiple SHP files at once into Autodesk Map. So, as long as you want all of the SHP files in one drawing, Autodesk Map should do your job.

I have no budget to buy additional software. I have tried Universal Translator, converting them to TAB then to DWG but the attribute data gets lost. I only have arcview license of ArcMap and no ArcINFO which only lets me convert to DXF.

[MI-L] DLL function name limit
Hello, I am trying to connect to a C DLL and it appears that there is a limit of 31 characters in the name of the DLL function? Is there any setting or variable to over-ride this limit and use longer named DLL functions. In this particular DLL that I have, most functions are named 31 characters or longer. Is there an easier option for me other than to rename and recompile the entire function library? - Regards - Rakesh Rao [ rakesh.rao (at)4d-technologies.com ] - Four Dimension Technologies [www.4d-technologies.com] - Get GeoTools, Work smarter: www.4d-technologies.com/geotools - Free Lisp downloads @ TechCenter: www.4d-technologies.com/techcenter - View GDF files in AutoCAD, use GDFViewer with GeoTools ___ MapInfo-L mailing list MapInfo-L@lists.directionsmag.com http://www.directionsmag.com/mailman/listinfo/mapinfo-l

MI-L MapBasic
Hello, I have obtained a licensed copy of MapInfo 7 from our client for development use but Mapbasic is not part of it. I understand this is something that needs to be purchased separately. Fair enough. This is also being arranged by our client but it is likely to take some time to comlete the formalities. In the meanwhile, is there any way how I can obtain it for short time trial use, so as to use my time productively while waiting for it to arrive?

MI-L Newcomer help
Hello, I am a total newcomer to MapInfo 7.0 but have programmed in VB / C++ / Lisp etc on other platforms. I have just got it installed and would like to know what are the available development platforms in MapInfo 7.0. I understand that the native development tool is MapBasic. My questions are: 1. Is Mapbasic the only platform for Mapinfo 7.0? If yes, how do I get started with it? Where is the online programmers documentation etc? 2. Is VB or VBA a possible programming tool? Let me know some answers so I can get started with your kind help.
