[MI-L] OT: ESRI geocoding
This is for some of the ESRI *geocoding* guru's Our 911 locations are moving to a vendor provided mapping solution [not my choice but mandated my the money people at the state] The question is The data stream includes a *carriage return* / CR / 0x0D / #13 between the Pre-directional [e w n s] and the street name [Main St] Is there a way to add the carriage return to the STRIPLIST and/or SEPLIST such as: STRIPLIST ,/ + 0x0d add CR to the list of space comma slash Striplist \#13 where \ is the escape character for the # Striplist 0x0D ,() the CR space comma ( and ) or is the CR not even considered I have been reading the ESRI doc from http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.2/pdf/Geocoding_Rule_Base_Developer_Guide.pdf This is driving us nuts If anyone has all the rules files [*.stn / cls / mat / pat /etc] to set up the geocoding to work like MapInfo and include the Zip [for us it is really a 3 character ESN zone] like the *us_addr.stn* if you would be willing to part with it I'd really appreciate it.

Re: [MI-L] Mapbasic and Delphi 2005 Dll
The mail from Monday I sent from the office got lost some where so I do it again. You can go to my web site in the download section and get UltraMsg I wrote this back in 1999 and the zip file has all the source and examples for MBX's. About half way down the page: http://www.wap3.com/download/index.shtml The main thing on creating forms in DLL is to do a create and get the handle, then set up position/size, title, fonts, data, and then show the form and finally you have to destroy it. UltraMsg provides, as its name says, it is a Rich Text Editor. Plus just about every type of conversion and math, like real XOR, string search and replace and many, many more. To recompile the dll, it should work as is, you will need to get HyperString. After scouring the net for a couple of hours it looks as though EFD Systems and Ernie Deel [author] have dissappeared. So in lieu of any copywrit stuff you can download the last D6 free version from here on my web: http://www.wap3.com/download/hstr540.zip On Sunday 22 October 2006 5:39 pm, Nathan Woodrow wrote: Hi All, Just a little help with a Dll, I have created using Delphi 2005.

I was just wondering can Delphi 2005 make Dll's that can export functions that mapbasic can call on, if so how?

Re: [MI-L] Looping in MapInfo MapBasic Window
leaving the mapbasic window open is one of the best ways to learn what is going on behind the scene a big drawback is that some the most complex commands, such as changing an object style [in your case], is not displayed so you will need some help there and also a list of the command values from mapbasic definition file [.def] to reference such as for ObjectInfo(obj, 1) returns the object type where 1 is refered to as OBJ_INFO_TYPE you can do some basic loop if your work is on a small amount of rows which might be in your case of processing for OverDue records I'm talking about on doing this one something less than maybe 100 records you just highlight all the rows to run and hit enter '[highlight these only 1 DIM per line though] Dim bfpobj As Object Dim bfpsymbol As Symbol select * from OverDue where Due_Tested = NO BFP into NoBFPtab fetch first from NoBFPtab '[end highlight above] '[highlight these and just keep hitting enter] [would be the DO/WHILE line] bfpobj = NoBFPtab.obj Alter Object bfpobj Info OBJ_INFO_SYMBOL, bfpsymbol Update NoBFPtab Set obj = bfpobj Fetch Next From NoBFPtab '[end highlight above] [would be the END/WEND line] '[do these when finished] UNDim bfpobj UNDim bfpsymbol '[end finish] you can also use a integer counter in the same manner DIM iRow as Integer '[begin highlight] iRow=1 ' '..processing statements here '.. like FETCH Rec iRow From TableName ' iRow=iRow+1 '[end highlight] UNDim iRow The UNDIM is used only in MB-Window and Integrated Mapping [VB,Delphi,...] If you do not run it if another application later on tries to use it the application will fail [already defined] and also if a program is running and you happen to pick a name that is in use your DIM will fail and using UNDIM will cause the application to fail [not available for app] You can save the MapBasic Window to a text file but the MB-Window does not have a load from so open the text file in NotePad and copy/paste to the window to have reusable code Also in SQL Query you can save/load the query, although the file has a special format it is text and makes sense so you can use it as a template, of course if the MB-Win is open then you get the full command.

Re: [MI-L] MBX documentation
I'll chime in here.. I never created anything to replace MapBasic Compiler, with MB-Coder, just an editor that beat the heck out of MB at the time. Of course now days there are other editors that do the same thing I did, create a *run link* to MB and tell it to comile the MBX. As far as DiaBuilder2000, it is nothing more than a way to *visually* place your controls, like the website says how big is a Dialog Unit anyway? Yes you can do some simple coding, but that was where MB-Coder came to play, and I'll cut my free money in the mail by making this statement - after creating you DB2k project you can copy and paste the code for the control dialog into your MB code. My personal feelings, MI Corp learned from M$ how to steal all your money. 50% upgrade on 0.5 year for nothing but eye candy, but since all the issues are well documented here I'll not wake the sleeping giant. .bzt.wrong answer, thanks for playing, you can collect your consolilation prize going out the back door. And yes, I *highly* support Linux, Free/Open Software and my latest venture is getting VMware up on Linux with a VM of Win2k. I know MapInfo has no problem with this and the challenge is the other GIS person [DHS-WMD] uses ESRI. For all my heavy UI work, I use Delphi - my favorite language for much longer than MB - and often breaking my rule of letting MI do the mapping work by coding it integrated [second part is let VB/Delphi/C--/Jiva/etc do the UI which it is really good at]. Back to work for now, writing an extraction program for the mail server to recover mail history for the last 3 weeks for the WMD-DHS [Wasted Money Dept of Dept of Homeland in-Security] blew a 6 month old laptop harddrive [2 time they have done this in 3 years]. On Tuesday 30 May 2006 10:40, Joutsiniemi Anssi wrote: Dear Bill, I appreciate you comment very much, and it is exactly the thing I've been worried about all these years. Naturally encouragement for stealing is not the point in here... The basic dilemma as I see it, is that MapBasic hasn't really been developed for several years. Trey Patillo has done some major job to provide some alternatives, but it all seems to end up in compling the source code itself. The biggest problem rises, because I guess MBX file was in a first place ment to be decompilable! It is really surprising that the compilation process only looses the comments of the source code. As you know even the original variable names, line numbers etc. remain in MBX's. So once you give information for compiling you actually open the gate other way too. It's unavoidable drawback from this nearly looseless compiling. I see the future of MB as a useful tool for creating UI, but I guess there is still much more left. Have to reconsider the pros and cons. Take care, Anssi Speaking as a MapBasic developer who has a considerable investment in MapBasic applications and has clients who have invested even more to pay me to build applications for them, I see no real advantage to releasing information to the public about how to decompile an MBX. If you have lost your source, and can prove the MBX is yours, Joe Bolian of Stopwatch Maps has offered to decompile it for you for free. Outside of recovering lost source code I see no good reason to empower any yahoo with a tool to open up my code like a can of beans. It's not *that* easy to create a decompiler, and I wouldn't want to see anyone who can't do it just given the information to make it easy to steal my code and compromise my clients' investments. By giving away the secrets you soften up the environment for anyone to build a serious project based on MapBasic and will only bring about its end that much quicker. I think that MapBasic has at least a couple more years of useful commercial life to it, and it is very likely that old MBX applications will still run in the .NET environment for years beyond that. Of course, if your goal is to destroy MapBasic as a tool to build commercial applications, and force us all to move to more advanced languages and techniques, then go for it. I would abandon MapBasic pretty fast as a development tool if a decompiler was made available to the public. And for those who can't move on to more complicated and expensive software development solutions, you would simply be exposing them to all sorts of abuse from theft of their ideas up to and including loading a virus into thier MBXs.

Re: [MI-L] mi.Do vs mi.Eval
Before I start...I have some downloadable files at the website http://wap3.com look in the Download section and some others examples in MapBasic Code DO is like a SUB in that it only does something you are telling MI [via MB commands - and only those that can be used in the MBwindow - ie, no loops, if-then, etc] so considering you example that you perviously issued mi.DO(DIM s_table AS String) and you have declared [not required in VB but is programming *best practice*] s_table in you code then either way will work EVAL is like a FUNCTION in that it returns a value **NOTE it only returns a string value How I describe Integratation and what goes on is Let MapInfo do what it does best -- mapping and your code do its best -- a better user interface or high level number crunching. Having said the above I would DIM all variables that are going to do heavy processing via DO(DIM x AS String) so that you avoid the overhead of passing that data back to your code. Only do an EVAL when the data is something the user needs to know and manipulate such as a table name [your example] You MUST use DO(UNDIM variable-name) or it will stay locked in MI which can create some debugging [code crashes before UNDIM] You can use the MapBasic Window to UNDIM them but if the list is long it is a real pain small example [I write in Delphi so my VB syntax my be incorrect but you'll get the point] create a form with a list box [ListBox1] and a button with below code in the click event of the button DIM x AS Integer DIM i as integer CONST Tab_Info_Name 1 x = INT(mi.EVAL(NumTables())) FOR i = 1 to x ListBox1.Items.Add(miMap.EVAL(TableInfo( + STR(i) + , + Tab_Info_Name +) ) NEXT On Sunday 28 May 2006 01:48, Alvin Ng wrote: Hello All, This question is pertaining to Integrated Mapping.

Re: [MI-L] Integrated mapping and MapBasic.bas
you can not directly add MapBasic.DEF directly to any language code yes, MB is similiar to VB but there are differences and the structure of the DEF is not correct for VB you have to copy it to a VB correct file and then edit the syntax the MB format is DEFINE Name Value and the VB format is CONST Name = Value [both have string Values quoted] Get a good *free* Text Editor such as EditPad http://www.editpadpro.com [get the free one EditPadLite] PSPad http://www.pspad.com/en/ [has a VB highlighter that will help with MB] either of these has excellent search and replace capabilites to reformat/rename a MapBasic.BAS file to use in mapping of course if you just have a few *defs* then just copy/paste in to your app and reformat for VB a good place for free/inexpensive software that is clean or *only does what the TOC/TOS/EULA says is http://lists.thedatalist.com On Sunday 28 May 2006 10:08, Alvin Ng wrote: Hello All, May I know what's the correct way to include MapBasic.bas to a Visual Basic project?

Re: [MI-L] MI 32-bit vs. 64-bit hardware/OS
Vista / LongNose or whatever, the best name will be DRM-Hell. Never touched XPee [other than healing the sick] Any 32-bit will work just fine on a 64-bit and I would pony up the 2x dollars on the processor and get an AMD X2 [dual core] with 2gig, drives don't really matter. Now the BIGGIE -- do not use a PCIe graphics, they are not highly compatible on the drives especially if you do use linux, so get a motherboard with AGP [harder to find] or just use a good ol' PCI like a MX-4000 128meg. Working only 1 app [ha] it can use both cores but with multiple apps it splits them [time, cpu ?] so no single app drags [might help on the MapBasic Apps hanging while doing something else but I have not tested -- so this is only in theory for MI] Actually I'm now on SimplyMEPIS Linux [free at www.simplymepis.org] or get a 64-bit version and let'r rip all for free Then buy Win4Lin Pro 2.5 [www.win4lin.com] for $69 and use an old 'dohze 2000 install under it. [works also with XPee SP1 not SP2] Now copy MapInfo [cd, network, 2nd drive] to the home directory, run it and set the registry stuff, and extract the tools registry from the previous use ['dohze] and then load it in to the w2k/win4lin registry. If did not post this to the list but individual, what I had after the install of MEPIS was a jerky mouse in MI and other w2k apps. Well after going to Mepis Control Panel Mouse and upping the mouse response from 60 [default] to 100 the mouse is working fine and now MI is completely workable including other progies I had to do a copy/hack because the installed died. All menu dialogs like file open and MI itself are somewhat slower to open but once the map[s] are open it is no worse that your slightly older [less capable] machine. My skunk-works 'dohze box [AMD64 3500+ 2gig and dual SATA150 200gig] has still not be upgrade to dual boot linux or do the tray thing. I have only fired it up about 5-6 times since October to copy files. This box is my forensics rig with AMD 2700+ 784gig, 2 removable trays, a 40gig Win2k and 40gig MEPIS in another one [in the boot tray now] + a 2nd tray to pop in drives from sick boxes for data recovery or healing 'dohze or could be used for backup and archiving or transfering, other than I transfer with a 160gig mounted in a ByteCC USB external case.

Re: MI-L Mapinfo/Mapbasic Crash
I think it is still possible that MI is creating too many temps/names try this 1) when opening a table add [open part] AS MyName [or meaningful name] this will keep MI from generating a name and makes coding neater and easier to reference You can also define a variable and use that in the references 2) when doing queries [that is the temps] add [select part] INTO MySel for example you have all counties in one map but need to work with a particular one for this loop then use INTO COUNTY Also depending on what you are doing, I just realized this recently, My external back up with everthing on the [transports work home] is formatted in Fat32 for compatability with older pc's Well Fat32 has a 4.2gig limit per file [could not copy the new Debian Linux 3.1 DVD -- uses full 4.7gig] and I think there are limits on the directory also, total file names and total size Trey Pattillo [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.wap3.com N27.799013 W-97.665322 | If you receive an email that says something like | 'Send this to everyone you know,' | pretend you don't know me.

Once those maps are saved to a workspace, the map windows are closed and any tables directly tied to the maps are closed. Some tables remain permanently open since they are used by all map windows. The program runs fine until it reaches about 500 workspaces saved (with 2 map windows per workspace). Mapinfo dies at some point between 500 and 530 workspaces (1000 to 1060 map windows). It is not a pretty crash in the sense that there is no Mapinfo or Mapbasic error message... just a general Windows error indicating that Mapinfo has encountered a problem and has to close. At first I felt that the problem might lie with the constantly incrementing CostmeticN layer. Mapinfo does not reset the cosmetic layer numbering system after a map window is closed but just keeps bumping them up with each new window . I thought that perhaps there was some limitation on the number of cosmetic layers. I ran a test on this and found that Mapinfo crashed at Cosmetic1005 one time and Cosmetic1063 the next so I no longer feel this is the problem. I now suspect that MI is running out of system resources or some such thing. Is anyone aware of such problems and possible solutions? Are there upper limits as to how many map windows can be created in one run, how many tables can be opened and closed, etc.? Is there any way of resetting system settings to accommodate this sort of thing and can that be done via code at the start of the program? (I realize I could break the task down into smaller chunks by running sub-sets of the data. However, that is a rather messy approach and not a good way to go for other, less knowledgeable, users of the application.)

Re: MI-L : Speed processing issues
A big hit can come from -indexing- If you can get by without it during the -work- then by all means kill them off and and rebuild them when done. This is especially true if you start at the top of the table and loop all the way to the bottom. You don't even have to code it, just manually drop the indexing, test it and the rebuild, then if it helps you might want to write a check/kill/rebuild subroutine. Not mentioned so far is using -integrated- mapping [this may get a bit long but worth the explaination and read] If it is graphic then MB is often the better choice, but most of the time integration is not that large of a performance hit because the rest of the code is faster. If you are just -scrubbing- data, then by all means you need to get away from MB. For DATA ONLY work: Change the table from TAB over to DBF foramt, then use a database application [excel, dBase, Access,] or a custom application [Delphi, C, C++, Jiva] to do the work directly to the DBF file. NOTE--you must remove and rebuild any indexes BIG NOTE--you can NOT add or delete any records, only modify them For DATA with SOME GRAPHIC work: Use -integrated mapping- A good starting point would be to download ScriptBuilder http://www.skbkontur.ru/sb/eng/index.htm SB will allow you to build and test code without the expense of investing into the full blown versions, but remember that if there is a performance boost then their should be even more by having the code compiled by the commercial IDE. [you can also distribute your code] By using SB with VBScript, you can import [copy/paste] your MB code with very little modifications. SB also does Delphi, so you can port it to Pascal and gain some additional speed. Also it supports other scripting languages. I have example code that can help get you going, just drop me a mail For HEAVY GRAPHIC work: Integration will still offer some benefits but MB might still be the fastest, you just have to -benchmark- it. For User Interaction [GUI]: Any language will be better than MB. You can possibly code direct to the language for -work- or keep the -work- code in mbx's and just call them.

Re: MI-L Dot NET and the Future of MapInfo Applications
I chime in behind this aspect To me DotNOT is just an other of the never ending ploys by MS to control the entire scope of electronic devices [PC, watches, phones, .] I have worked with Pascal/Delphi since its incepction, giving up assembly for it. C/C--, Jiva, etc are just others is the never ending cycle. As for speed, I have benchmarked some Delphi apps faster than C, and improvements can always be made my dropping assembly in for the generic code, not to mention never having to package or have the end user polute their system with more bloated code [api/dotnot,etc]. I do hope that Kylix [Delphi for Linux] stays a float for cross-platform. And upgrading, why? Dephi 6, MapInfo 6.5, OpenOffice provide 99% of all my 'Doze work, with Firefox/Thunderbird the other 1% and OO/FF/TB on Linux [until MI will work under Wine]. For quick scripting based work [delphi, vb, python, perl] I use ScriptBuilder [http://www.skbkontur.ru/sb/eng/index.htm] My %0.0175us Steve McArthur wrote: Hi all I havn't heard much in this discussion from the Delphi developers out there so I'll throw in my humble 2 cents. For me the move to Dot NET doesn't seem to provide much advantages. The Delphi IDE has always provided the advantages that the VB.net IDE now provides (I heard someone describe it as a clone of Delphi) and there has always been a wealth of components available to the Delphi developer. It is even possible to write a wrapper around the MapInfo OLE model to make it behave like a COM object. Whilst Delphi provides its own Dot NET IDE and compiler, it still also gives you the option to compile WIN32 application - VB.net etc no longer seems to give you that option. It seems to me that writing applications in Dot NET only gives me the option of building slower applications running in an interpreted environment. If you want to write fast number crunching applications then you have to write WIN32 apps it seems to me. However, I'd be the first to admit that I've not looked into Dot NET all that much but I'm mindful that if you resist change too much you might end up left behind. If I need to earn my living in GIS development then I think more and more employers are going to ask for Dot NET experience. Its hard enough being a Delphi developer without being Dot NET illiterate. But if MapInfo Dot NET means you can write quick and dirty utilities with a half decent user interface then maybe that's a good thing.

Re: MI-L MI 7 and multi monitors
Does anyone know how MI determines start up position (.ini, registry etc.)?
answer MAXIMIZED but can be hacked
here is what I learned in Sep/Oct when reworking my 911 mapping application
to utilize the new Dell Dual 17 LCD's that were being installed...
M$ thumbs it nose at the IEEE, W3C [web], or any other standard [nothing new
here]
All versions except 98 and eXPee have major issues that vary depending on
the video chip set [matrox, nVidia]
I'm using Win2k and 911 is using eXPee Pro, so I spent may hours of
searching/coding/debugging/shampoo/rinse/repeat
do a google search for nVidia dual monitor [with quotes to read/understand
more] as they have more issues than the others
1) nVidia on Win2k does not do a true dual monitor but only 1 BIG
desktop [note start bar spans both monitors]
2) Matrox, et. al., are better [play dual monitor correctly] but have some
other issues
3) if you are using dual cards do not do agp and pci use only pci and xpee
will do 5 cards with 10 monitors [other WinXX are less]
4) if I remember correct PCI cards have less/none of the issue that AGP has
[read nVidia works correct but don't put $$ on that]
You can hack your problem by changing the mapinfo.mnu file
I'm not going to comment where 'Doze put it should be located with
mapinfow.exe
but for 2K/XP it may be under the c:\documents and settings\{current user}
Add this line to the end of the file
Set Window 1011 Position ( X, Y) Width W Height H
where X,Y,W,H are expressed in inches [pixels / 96 ]
example to put on right monitor with 800x600 resolution
X = 800 - 4 = 796 / 96 = 8.2917
Y = 600 - 4 = 596 / 96 = 6.2083
H = 800 + 8 = 808 / 96 = 8.4167
W = 600 + 8 = 608 / 96 = 6.
Set Window 1011 Position ( 8.2917, 6.2083) Width 6. Height
8.4167
The reason for the - 4 and +8 is to remove the outer border edges simulating
maximize
[windowse [www.greatis.com] reports MI width as 1032 for my 1024 settings]
[this app tells all about the window or part of under the cursor ]
I'm not sure what will happen when the user clicks maximize
It may jump back to the left monitor and stretch across both monitors.
YMMV
You should also be able to replace the Position() W w H h.. with the
constants for
win_state_normal = 0
win_state_minimized = 1
win_state_maximized = 2
and you can use a single quote ' at the start of the line to comment out
the line for quick on/off

Jonathan,
The PC with the problem has a NVidia GeForce2 Go. I've done some more
experimenting and MI 7 is the only app which has this problem.
I have another PC with a Matrox G400 dual head and the Powerdesk
software with that allows me to set which display apps open in (all
apps, not each one individually), but the nVidia card doesn't seem to
have the same thing (or need or except for MI 7).

I don't think its Mapinfo that remembers which window to start up in,
My GFX card is a Matrox G400 and its through the Matrox Software that it
remembers where certain windows go.
I have to tell the Matrox Powerdesk software to Remember which
Display is used for a particular application..
What make of graphics card do you have?

MI-L Intersecting Regions Nodes
I am trying to write a piece of code in MapBasic that will place nodes at the intersection of two circular regions and then delete all nodes in-between the two intersection points. I used the OverlayNode() Function to create nodes at the intersection points for both regions that overlap. I proceed using nested For loops and the ObjectNodeX() and ObjectNodeY() functions to determine the node number of the intersecting point. This node number is stored in an array variable. I use the array to set the beginning and ending nodes for use with the ExtractNodes() function. However, sometimes the array contains no intersecting points or more than two intersecting points. No intersections should not occur because I only selected regions that did intersect using the Select Where objA Intersects objB clause. In the cases where I get more than two intersecting points, it is because two different nodes have the same coordinates. I didn't think the OverlayNode() command would put nodes at a point where one already existed. If anyone has any suggestions on what could be causing this problem or perhaps a better way to do what I am trying to do, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Re: MI-L Integrated Mapping (resize) Problem

Either prevent the users resizing the form or put the following code in the forms resize event. (From the MapBasic manual) - Whether the user is able to resize the Map window depends on how you set up your application. The sample program, FindZip, places a Map window in a Visual Basic PictureBox control, so that it cannot be resized. However, you could reparent a Map window using an MDI interface, which allows the user to resize the window. Note: When the user resizes the Map window, MapInfo does not automatically reset the map's contents to fill the new window size. Therefore, if your application allows the user to resize the Map window, you must call the Windows API function MoveWindow to make the Map window conform to the new size. For example, if your Visual Basic program will run under 32-bit Windows, you can use the following Visual Basic Declare statement to access the MoveWindow API function: Declare Function MoveWindow Lib user32 _ (ByVal hWnd As Long, _ ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, _ ByVal nWidth As Long, ByVal nHeight As Long, _ ByVal bRepaint As Long) As Long When the user resizes the Map window, call MoveWindow. In Visual Basic, a resize event triggers the Form_Resize( ) procedure; you could call MoveWindow from within that procedure, as shown in the following example. Dim mHwnd As Long mHwnd = Val(mapinfo.Eval(WindowInfo(FrontWindow(),12))) MoveWindow mHwnd, 0, 0, ScaleWidth, ScaleHeight, 0 The number 12 corresponds to the MapBasic identifier WIN_INFO_WND. ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight are properties of a Visual Basic form, representing the form's current width and height. Note: The ScaleMode property must be set to Pixels, so that ScaleWidth and ScaleHeight represent pixel measurements.

For example, an individual could register Frank's surprise party which would link to a specific restaurant location. Using the bookmarked phrase, guests would then route to their destination. Beyond personal applications, the patent covers businesses, real estate and delivery services. I have nothing against anyone protecting real inventions or really original ideas, but the above simply doesn't fit either category, imho. And as a matter of fact, our local mapping agency has for several years now been selling a relatively cheap software package that enables the user to: - add personal nameable themes to the included maps - exchange these themes with other people online - hook a GPS into the package enabling navigation Combine these and you have a system that allows online navigation users to assign their own keywords to map-locations (...) they can share with others. So has Navtech really invented what they claim or not ? Requesting such patents only degrades the overall inclination to innovate, imho, and also degrades the credibility of the company in question.

I don't do MIDI frames so this one is just on top of the main frame. pnlBrowse is the picture box that holds the MI windows and is set for alignment=client so it always fills the window and then the clientheight and width The divide by 96 is to get the number right between pixels and MI's sizing but since VB will do twips and other things you will have to play with it. - Original Message - From: Mark Williamson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 1:02 PM Subject: MI-L Integrated Mapping - Resizing forms Hi I am using VB to try out a few IM techniques.

Re: MI-L Line distortion
hello, I'm only running MI 6.0 so I can't say if this has improved or not in v7 At some point you will experience shifting lines [were horizontal and now show at 45deg] and selecting will no longer work.

I have a P3-1000, 256meg, 20gig ATA66, TNT2 M64 32meg video, on Win2k-sp3 at the office and a P4-1500, 512meg, 13gig ATA66 and 19gig ATA100, TNT2 MX400 64meg video, on Win2k-sp3 here Testing here I got down to 0.25m and lost the selection and the lines disappeared when I zoomed closer that 0.00023m. On the memory, unless you are doing some really monsterous stuff 256 should be fine but memory is cheap so go for 512 or the max. I've got IE6, LookOutEx 6, Delphi 6, MI6, Mercury32 [mail server], and Exploder running and still have 105k of 512k free physical memory and do about the same abuse at the office except that the mail server is different box.

Re: MI-L MI and Linux
Hello, Back in Feb. I tried the latest release of WINE with MI6.0 The install was fine, but I got what appeared to be a Wine related message that the section of a dll was not present. It's just a matter of time as the push is to topple the office monopoly first. I have not been on the prowel lately, but the last I checked [about Mar] was that TatukGIS has still not completed it's Sept 2001 commitment of porting their native Delphi GIS to linux. Don't recall if I did a test with Delphi Win compile on my nix box, but all of my other apps worked fine with Wine and if I did test mapping it was definately a legacy speed issue, so development is somewhat on hold until I get a workable nix solution. This is for my current 911 mapping application that sits around at low volume sites and might put 5 to 20 thumbtacks a day on the map. My latest find last weekend for Delphi was ezGIS, but I this week was not a good one for testing. Both of these have OCX controls, and downloadable working examples something like ProViewer.

Re: MI-L More on Integrated Mapping; Performance this time.
Hello, As I have always said. Let each do its best part, *integration* for the GUI, and MI for the maps. As some of you know, I work exclusively in Delphi except for an occassional quicky or core-logic prototype in MB. BUT.I have Delphi applications that are 100% integration, ie. I'm passing all command strings with DO and getting information with EVAL. Some run as fast, and maybe just a bit faster, but overall there is not a large performance hit. Some Hints..VB is easier to example than Delphi.oh,well... 1) DIM your variables in MI unless you really need them in the GUI especially things like Lat/Lon and Row Counters. Even if you are planning to extract column data, it is often faster to always send one long DO assigning the column data to variables and then when you need the data use EVAL. [ can only do 1 DIM per line integration command line in the DO statements ] 2) Build strings with all the commands you possibly can for DO [ in development break out only one per line for debugging then cram them together ] example: miStr = fetch first from MyTable + aRow=MyTable.RowID + aObj=MyTable.Obj + Alter Object aObj Info Symbol, MakeSymbol(33,64,12) + Update MyTable Set Obj=aObj Where RowID=aRow miMap.DO (miStr) 3) Minimize the use of EVAL Instead of showing each record # just do every 10th record example: .looping code miMap.DO(Fetch Next From MyTable aRow=MyTable.RowID) MyCounter=MyCounter+1 If MyCounter mod 10=0 then CurrentRow=miMap.EVAL(aRow) ShowMessage(CurrentRow) end if end looping code Brain dead for today...hope this helps Trey Pattillo [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.wap3.com -97.665333W 27.799121N - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 January, 2002 03:49 Subject: RE: MI-L More on Integrated Mapping; Performance this time. David The short answer in my experience is that because you are sending MapInfo uncompiled strings in int mapping - even though its from a compiled EXE - its always going to be slow. Heavy or even medium duty batch work will always be faster in an MBX because of the clever stuff the MB compiler can do. Probably your best bet is to run parts of your int mapping app as MBXs - you can use the object model still to send the MBX messages (Application.MBApplications collection) - as per other postings on the list the MBX is identical to one you'd write if you were using DDE. The tables will still be available to the rest of your int mapping app. Its an extra compilation step and you can't 'step' the code but you could have a very simple MBX to do what you are outlining.

This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. I know I still owe y'all a summary on integrated mapping methods, but ... I throw myself on your collective mercy. There's always a next hurdle, and mine is this: we have our integrated mapping project well underway. I have, however, hit a performance roadblock and would like to know if anyone has either (a) experienced this and better yet, (b) knows of a work-around. By performance problem I mean: the same MBX is run as native in MapInfo, and alternately from an Integrated Mapping session (from VB 6.0). I'm using MI and MB 6.0. The function in question is a progress bar (implied loop) that reads a table and inserts records into a second table based on the first. In the simplest tests I do no other processing -- in fact I've run a test that omits the insert so the loop just reads each record in the source table. In native MI mode, the loop takes about 50 seconds to read/insert 2311 records. In the integrated mapping application, the VB selects the same menu item and so runs the same code in the MBX, but in this case the loop runs REALLY SLOWLY ... about 1 second per record... even when just reading (no insert). This doesn't make sense to me -- there seems to be some overhead interaction between VB and MI that is really getting in the way. Some of the things I've tried are: * Remove a callback that I had registered to pass statusbar messages back to the VB -- no effect * Save the source table as a native table... the source is a join between an Access based spatial layer and a text file that specifies a sub-set that we want to process

Re: MI-L Alter Table and memo fields
hello, with out getting too technical, as a programmer not that difficult to do.. *memo fields* are often references as BLOB fields an acronym for Binary Large OBjects dBase, which MI is an obfuscated form of, makes use of these along with M$ Excess and others. Internally the field will be a unique temporary filename, possibly a name you can recognize the disk, and most it is compeletly unrecognizable and holds pointers and length values into a single file that holds all the table BLOB data [if you lucky the extension might be *.BLB]. Why BLOB's came about was to get around the 254 character limit in fields, which is based on one byte [0 to 255] hold the actual length. But over time M$ and others have been able to use it to store true binary data like picture formats [bmp,jpg,gif] and now just about anything you want to put there. Thinking about it, MI's *.MAP file, could be considered a BLOB as each record contains a whole heap if information, the most being for poly-line/regions, with x1/y1x#/y#, line style, color, etc that is linked from the data record. So if your table has a MEMO/BLOB and you tell MI, in it's lesser intellectual capacity, to write to that table..get the idea Trey Pattillo [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.wap3.com -97.66532W 27.79902N - Original Message - From: Bill Lorraine Donaldson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mapinfo-L [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 11, 2002 06:29 Subject: MI-L Alter Table and memo fields In the MapBasic 6.5 Reference Guide (pg. 52) the Alter Table statement makes the following reference to memo fields: If a MapBasic application issues an Alter Table statement affecting a table which has memo fields, the memo fields will be lost.

Re: MI-L File open in MapBasic
Another thought, with out the complexities of true INI [see website for sample code], would be to create an INI file, just one line of text that is the path for that machine. This would facilitate needed changes/installations without any code rewriting. Besure to replace the ProgramName with you MBX name. If you need more than this then you can read each line, see what the KEY= is and then assign the =VALUE to an assigned variable but if your going to do this then looking into using the WinAPI would really be easier.

Re: MI-L Using MapInfo over the web (was BLANK)
Hello, My $0.0175us #1) IANAL - I Ain't No Advise Lawyer #2) Original Post...*if I can put this GIS in my intranet.* NOTICE the last word *intranet* - private within the owners lan domain Does not seem to be a type of *internet* -- public over world wide web But sometimes the two words are used in the wrong context Assuming this is *intranet* within the office. MapBasic could be used but it will not be as robust as integrated solutions build with Delphi, VB, C--, Jiva or some other language I have set up ProViewer with specific desktop links to different *.wor to launch, which works great for things like finding out where a specific property/lot is located, with the wor loading needed maps and the user doing *find*. I also wrote an app called ProV_Designer [in Delphi] that is a bit complex in providing the functionallity of opening maps, layers, querying, etc which then builds the needed wor and kicks off ProViewer. This was more of an experiment with what can be done in a wor [even sql works] more than a distributable/functioning program. Such as in a property tax office, having radio buttons for Acct. ID, Name and Address and a edit box for the above information might be all that is needed to bring back PV showing the location and a browser with all the detailed data like the tax rate and value [everyone complains about paying too much]. Once the exact needs of the the user are determined, the complex GUI can be reduced to a few radio buttons, check boxes, edits and lists. This creates a more managable user interface resulting in less training on *how-to-do-sql*. Of course some training on PV, zooming/info/etc will be needed but it is better than $$ for *webware* to allow an occasional look-up by a TCI user [technology challenged individual]. - For every complex problem there are many answers -- one of which is clear, simple, and wrong.

Does anyone else experinced this?
If you run a mbx by double clicking the application itself from within
explorer or as an icon on the desktop, i.e. the actual mbx file, then
MapInfo starts up and the mbx is executed twice.
If the mbx is run any other way, i.e from within MapInfo, or even from a
shortcut to the mbx, etc. then the mbx only executes once.
I have tried this with the most basic of applications, below, and it
still does it. Anyone with any reasons why this happens?

Re: MI-L Delphi MapX vs. VB MapX
Hello, I will class that as a FUD statement [see below for defination], and your at Step #2 Without showing exactly which API [ basically that is MapX ] is incompatable and having support code examples --- *FUD on them* Delphi [ object pascal ] has been my language of choice for *years* Still have TurboPascal 2.0 in the closet. Since I don't have MapX, I can't get specific but will help with what I can. Since you don't want to *loose* Delphi subscribing/posting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a help There are not a lot of posts, like MI-L, but your not alone by using Delphi ! I'm already beginning the transition to *nix with Delphi 6.0 and Kylix. From a story by osOpinion http://www.osopinion.com/perl/story/12488.html ==Quote For those who do not know the term, FUD means Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. It's a technique for negative marketing that was originally used by IBM in the mainframe business. By raising spooky questions about the future of competing products and companies, IBM could play the role of the only safe choice and leverage its huge size and vast experience to keep corporate customers from investigating hot new alternatives. Ironically, FUD was perfected by Microsoft during the company's anti-OS/2 campaign of the mid-1990s and used quite effectively against IBM. Here are a few examples of FUD at its finest. ==Unquote Also a good [ really the whole site is worth a favorite ] is The American Digital Revolution of 2001 http://www.osopinion.com/perl/story/12526.html Trey Pattillo -97.665333W 27.799121N www.wap3.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: David Skyger [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2001 09:11 Subject: MI-L Delphi MapX vs. VB MapX Developers, The rumor is don't use Delphi for developing with MapX, is C++ or VB to prefer?

Re: MI-L re StringToDate function
Hello, if you have a string as Date=/mm/dd then for MM/DD/ use mid$(Date,6,2)+/+right$(Date,2)+/+left$(Date,4) for MM/DD/YY use mid$(Date,6,2)+/+right$(Date,2)+/+mid$(Date,3,2) if you have a MapInfo Date variable/field the use Str$(Date_Col) to get the system short date this converts MMDD to MM/DD/ for my system All information system store dates either as mmddhhnnss or as dd.hh The first being in dBase as alot of other IS software and the second is # or days since something Delphi uses 1/1/1900 and M$ Dos uses 1/1/1980 with the h as the time expressed as fraction of 24 hours -- .25=6am, .5=noon, .75=6pm These are the only methods that will result in a properly sorted date Otherwise for long-dates you get April 1, April 12April 2, April 20...April 3, April 30, August., Feb , Mar,Jul,Jun and short-dates 01/01/1999, 01/01/2000, 01/01/2001, 01/02/1999, 01/02/2000 Trey Pattillo -97.665333W 27.799121N www.wap3.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Anitra Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Windeler, David [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'MapInfo-L (E-mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 22, 2001 19:32 Subject: Re: MI-L re StringToDate function David, It must have been the day for that problem. I had exactly the same problem on Friday - I tried the StringToDate function plus the NumberToDate Function etc etc. The only thing I did find after lots of elimination and retry (and uttering expletives) was that the functions would not work when there were other pieces of information in the label (I am assuming you ARE talking about labels). For example, I wanted to label objects by Name and then by Date, with the string: ProperName(Venue_Name) + Chr$(13) + Expiry Date: + Date (or close to this). In this format, the label would work, but not give me the date in the date format as it was shown in the browser. It would however, give me a string, which was recognisable as a date, but not what I wanted to present to the end users. In the end, I found a couple of dirty ways around this. One was to have two seperate layers (as those without dates kept giving me an error - argument has invalid type), and I changed the date format in the browser to a string and then only labeled using the StringToDate on one layer, and the Name on another layer. It was not the way I wanted to solve the problem, but the only way I could see it would work.
