RE: MI-L VB DLL and MapBasic
Robert, The problem with using VB in this way with MapBasic is that in VB (version 6 and below - I don't know about NET) you can only build DLLs which can be used by other languages that support COM. To use a VB DLL from another language, you must instantiate an instance of class defined by that DLL and MapBasic can't do that. DLLs created by some other languages (e.g. C) can be used more conventionally.

A friend has used them extensively, and he promised to work on it with me. Provided we can get communication between a DLL created in VB and mapInfo (his work was in C), it should provide a solution for some of the greatest problems that I see in MapBasic: lack of decent form building tools like text/ colour manipulation, grids and tree views, and the inability to create new controls or arrays of controls on a dialog/ form. If that can be done, I will probably make even more of my work MapInfo centric than before (at present I use Access or VB apps for data entry). Are there any pitfalls to the technique? We want to create a VB DLL that accepts arrays passed to it from MapBasic, and hands back data or commands to MapInfo as a result. Of course, it would be even easier if someone had an example of that they would be willing to pass on.

RE: MI-L Integrated Mapping
Cameron, I remember when we converted a number of integrated mapping applications from VB4 to VB6, the project type had to be changed to an ActiveX exe. As far as I can remember, the major difference between standard and ActiveX projects is that the latter allow communication by COM (which is what you need for integrated mapping). I'd change the project type back to ActiveX exe if I were you.

I have an integrated app written in VB6 that I have been using for years. The project was intially set up as a stand alone exe, but somewhere along the way it got changed to an ActiveX exe. I changed it back and now when I try to run it I get the error: Runtime Error '98': A property or method call cannot include a reference to a private object, either as an object or as a return value The part it crashes on is when I try to set the callback object.

I have some other apps with identical code that seems to work fine. I did notice that when I changed back to a Standalone EXE it told me that the properties of the Class were not valid for this type of application. Essentially, it took away the property that allowed me to make the class public. However, in my other stand alone apps, the class does not have this property either and they compile and run just fine.

RE: MI-L MapX vs. MapObjects
Alex, I've just been converting a reasonably large MapX application (VB6) so that it will work with either MapX or MapObjects. I have quite a bit of experience with MapX, but this was my first MapObjects project. The first thing which struck me was the number of similarities between the two object models - I was able to leave large chunks of code unaltered, e.g. when iterating the map layers collection. As you would expect, there are also one or two areas where the two architectures are completely different - for example in dealing with highlighting and selections (actually MapObjects doesn't really have any built-in support for these, but you have the tools to implement them). It was also a major nuisance that shape files can only contain topology of a single type, so the code had to accommodate several shapefiles where a single MapInfo table had been sufficient with MapX. But, all in all, I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I implemented the MapX application with MapObjects. The big surprise for me, as someone with relatively little ESRI experience, came when I started throwing 'real' quantities of data at the application. During development and testing I had used relatively small shapefiles and had not noticed any difference in performance between MapX and MapObjects. However, when I started using larger quantities of data, the performance of MapObjects suffered to a far greater extent than MapX - and I'm talking in the region of an order of magnitude. The big performance hits came when: * opening shapefiles * searching for objects in shapefiles based on attribute values (when you don't know the location) * editing shapefiles The performance in some areas of the application was so bad that I was forced to change the architecture. To be fair to MapObjects, this is perhaps to be expected when converting an application built around MapX and I may have had similar problems converting a MapObjects application to MapX. The thing I dislike the most is that to have a reasonable performance with a large shapefile, it must have a 'spatial index'. Trouble is, if you edit that shapefile (e.g. insert a new object) the spatial index is destroyed and needs to be recreated (otherwise just panning the map will cripple the application) - but recreating a large spatial index can take minutes. Get the picture? I have found that to get a reasonable performance I have to organise my data in certain ways, e.g. by having a smaller shapefile into which new objects can be captured and reserving the larger shapefiles for data which is mostly static. For me, the greatest difference between MapX and MapObjects is that with MapObjects, performance issues dictate the way the data is managed to a greater extent than does MapX. MapX does not have the same data-related performance issues and therefore gives you more freedom over the management of your data and architecture of your application.

MI-L MB/VB MapInfo Crashes on Exit if a VB application has a reference to it
Can anyone with integrated mapping experience or anyone from MapInfo tech support help me with this? If you have a VB application which runs alongside MapInfo Pro and connects to the MapInfo session through OLE, then MapInfo will crash if closed before the VB application releases its reference to MapInfo. Here's how to replicate the problem. Create a VB project with a single form and button and paste the code shown below into the form module. Private mobjMI As MapInfo.MapInfoApplication Private Sub Form_Load() Set mobjMI = GetObject(, "MapInfo.Application") End Sub Private Sub Command1_Click() Set mobjMI = Nothing End Sub Run MapInfo then run the VB application. If you next quit MapInfo, it will crash instead of ending cleanly. I noticed this on NT with Dr Watson running. If Dr Watson is not installed (or if its configured so that it does nothing) then you may not notice the problem. Clicking the button to release the VB reference to MapInfo before quiting MapInfo, allows MapInfo to end cleanly. But, of course, you cannot predict when the user will quit MapInfo. I have tried running a MapBasic program with an 'end handler' which informs my VB application to release the reference, but once the end handler is entered, the VB program seems to wait for MapInfo to end before it will release the reference - so MapInfo still crashes. Any ideas anyone?

Hi Jacques, Its the progress bar which is automatically displayed by MapInfo that I want to stop. When you issue some MapBasic commands, e.g. 'Commit Table...', MapInfo automatically pops up its own progress bar while the save operation is being carried out. I can stop this with 'Set ProgressBars Off', but I don't want to interfere with other people's MB programs that may be running at the same time (and which may want the progress bars on), so I would like to set them on again, but only if they were already on before I turned them off!

RE: MI-L Centorid Arguments.
Matt, I think that the table probably contains some records without geometry. To identify and fix the problem records, you can select all records where geom=null (can't remember the exact syntax). Richard Burkmar Swift LG -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 November 2000 12:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Centorid Arguments. Another small query. After trying to update a column in a table with it's Easting Open Table "Q:\CAMS\MAPINFO\ROWtest.TAB" Interactive Map From ROWtest Update ROWtest Set Easting = CentroidX(obj) Mapinfo throws back an error message : Centroidx - could not fetch object from the current ROW argument. Has anyone got a solution as I have a number of fields to update. The table is not write protected or in use whilst trying to update.

RE: MI-L MapX error creating a new table
Mariano, I wonder if you're getting the error because your using a stand-alone fields object - perhaps you have to use the fields collection of an extant dataset.

RE: MI-L MapX Error: "Raster Engine Unable to Recognize Image File Format"
Title: MapX Error: "Raster Engine Unable to Recognize Image File Format" Ben, In the MapX documentation, there is a section called 'Installing Raster Format Handlers'. For Mr Sid, you need to include the files 'mrsid32.dll' and 'Mrsid.rhe' in the MapX directory. In 4.5 this is 'Program Files\Common Files\MapInfo Shared\MapX Common' - but look for the files on the computer where it works and you'll see for sure.

I have created an application that among other things displays orthophotograpy. The Orthophotos are in TAB format (originally generated from Mr Sid images). The .exe file runs fine on my machine, but when I run it from another computer, I get the error "Raster Engine Unable to Recognize Image File Format" ,the rest of the data layers load and the applications works fine (minus the raster image). Is there a .dll file that I need to install?? The files raster.dll and regraster.dll are loaded in the MapX Common files directory. I'm clueless at this pointAny ideas?? Thanks in advance -Ben
RE: MI-L Draw a Line
Eric, You could just draw any line, then double-click on it with the selector tool. A dialog will appear with the start and end nodes - you can alter them to the values you reqiure.

RE: MI-L Windoze or Browser? That is the question....
Listers, For me the most compelling idea about delivering any sort of application (including GIS) via the browser is the ease with which the software can be deployed and maintained. For a local government authority for example, quite apart from removing the hassle of having to go around to dozens of machines to update software every time there's an update, there is also less dependency on the 'foibles' (i.e. the environment) of each individual client machine in this 'thin client' paradigm. The new 'Windows Installer' technology does, if I understand it correctly, attempt to make deployment and maintenace of standard (i.e. not browser-based) software more centrally controllable, but there is still a critical dependency on the highly complex (and volatile) individual client environment. Taking the concept of centrally deployed/maintained applications even further, we can imagine a scenario where Application Services Providers could penetrate a market very quickly indeed when they develop a good product. A browser deployed application served up on the web, i.e. high (potential) volume, would allow the ASP to provide the service at low cost. This would allow rapid market penetration of the best software at rock bottom prices to the most casual user. Everybody wins (except vendors with poor software). You can imagine a highly competitive market where good new software could reach large numbers of users very quickly - because the users would not have to part with much money to try it out. I'm probably getting a bit ahead of myself now - but the possibilities are very exciting.
