MI-L MapBasic Question
Sorry to repost but I did not get any replies: I have a directory containing approximately 2000 georeferenced tif files and I need to open them in MapInfo. The problem I am running into is twofold: 1) It asks me to specify the projection for each raster (they are all the same projection) - it would take hours to do manually. 2) I do not have a table containing the raster names otherwise I would write a program to do this Does anyone know of a program or the code that will allow me to open files in batch and specify the projection? How about code to open all of the files that are in the same directory without knowing the names? Thanks in advance.

MI-L MapBasic Question
Hi all, I have a question regarding MapBasic and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I am writing a program that has a table containing the names and paths to multiple data sets. All the data set names populate a MultiListBox. When I select a data set out of the MultiListBox I want the program to read the path out of the table and then open the data set. I can't quite figure this out. Does anyone have any suggestions?

MI-L MapBasic Question
Hi, I have a simple mabasic code that would add a new item under "Tools" menu to run a function inside a dll. I packaged the .mbx and the dll in an installation file. Once I install the package. I have now the mbx and dll installed. But when I double click on the short cut or start the program from start->Program files-> ..), I have a double menu item instead on just one menu item under "Tools". (not Ok). If however I double click on the .mbx directly, i have just one menu item. (Ok) I checked the short cut to the program and it's pointing correctly to the .mbx Is there any way to fix this problem (double menu item) or i guess double execution ? I'm using MapInfo 6.5 Thanks Sam Jhonson _ http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-ca&page=byoa/prem&xAPID=1994&DI=1034&SU=http://hotmail.com/enca&HL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines - List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 11608

I am going through a student workbook to learn mapbasic. I have found the section on adding buttons to current ButtonPads, I have attempted this but it is not showing up on that ButtonPad (attempting to add an open workspace button onto the auto-opening Tool ButtonPad). It says that it is compiling right but when I open Mapinfo It is not there. Am I (or the workbook?) missing a paragraph somewhere, explaining that part of it? Or some other reason. (The only think I can so far think of I can not fix _ We can not write to the drive that Mapinfo is on) Thank you in advance. Alicia Kaye Cox DHS / CH&P / PMSS 535 W.

MI-L MapBasic Question
I produce a number of mbx's that are employed by our company's internal employees and external contractors -- to that end would it be possible (and does MapBasic support) to integrate a segment of code that would limit the duration of the program's usage? Currently, we have several Visual Basic Applications where a code segment and a licensing program allows us to set the applications duration of use and protects against roll-back of the PC's clock. Does anyone have recommendations or examples of how one might be able to add such functionality to a MapInfo/MapBasic Tool? Thanks in advance, Frank Aaron

Hi I'm writting a small MapBasic application. Does anybody know if it is possible to open (from MapBasic) a winzip window loaded with some defined files ? I'm able to launch winzip (Run Program) with files in the argument line, but this only zip the file without have the time to see the winzip window. I want the user see his files in the winzip window and can do some operations in this window... also in a mapbasic program, it's possible to specify some file to send by mail ? i.e. automaticly in mapbasic call a method that open a send mail window with the specified mails attached to. regards Antoine

Hey Listers, I've never been good at writing code so I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have a table with a list of building applications that I want deleted from the main building applications table. But when I run a simple select query in mapbasic selecting all records in the main table that have a corresponding app number with my list then try to delete all records in the result query I get a message saying "Cannot delete from view". I can do all this in MI with no dramas but its got me stumped why its stuffing up in MB. This is what I've written that is causing the error message: Select Build.Baappln, Build.Pid, Build.Lotplan, Build.Location, Build.Suburb, Build.Type, Build.Class, Build.Recd from Build, AppList where Build.Baappln=AppList.Baappln into temp Delete from temp Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Listers: Being a MapBasic Neophyte, I have what will probably be a dumb question. But here goes any way. I manually select a record from table A, append it to table B, delete the selected record from table A and then save both tables. To automate steps I have built a button pad and associated program to append the selected record to table B, then commit both tables. But I can’t seem to find the right statement to delete the record from table A. I know it’s simple but I’m at my wits end. Any Help?

How about code to open all of > the files that are in the same directory without knowing the names? I believe there's MapBasic code at Jacques Paris' web site that shows you how to use the FindFirst and FindNext Windows API calls from MapBasic to get lists of files from directories. As to registering the TIF files, you'll need to know their extents to register them. Years ago, Dimitry Bogdanov posted some code to MapInfo-L that showed where to get the pixel width and heights of various raster formats. Here's the bit for TIFF files: Open File FileName$ For Binary Access Read As #1 Get #1, 1, iByteOrder If iByteOrder = 19789 Then 'MM Close File #1 Open File FileName$ For Binary Access Read As #1 ByteOrder HIGHLOW End If Get #1, 5, Offset Offset = Offset + 1 Get #1, Offset, NumTags For i = 0 To NumTags - 1 Get #1, 2 + Offset + i * 12, Val Do Case Val Case 256 Get #1, 10 + Offset + i * 12, siWidth Case 257 Get #1, 10 + Offset + i * 12, siHeight Exit For End Case Next Width = siWidth Height = siHeight So if no one has any ready-to-use solution, this should give you something to start with! - Bill Thoen - List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 15533

RE: MI-L MapBasic Question
Johanna MB Help can explain Processing a MultiListBox control better than I: Processing a MultiListBox control To read what items the user selected from a MultiListBox control, assign a handler procedure that is called when the user dismisses the dialog (for example, assign a handler to the OKButton control). Within the handler procedure, set up a loop to call ReadControlValue( ) repeatedly. The first call to ReadControlValue( ) returns the number of the first selected item; the second call to ReadControlValue( ) returns the number of the second selected item; etc. When ReadControlValue( ) returns zero, you have exhausted the list of selected items. If the first call to ReadControlValue( ) returns zero, there are no list items selected. Not sure what you mean by a dataset, but, if a series of table s to be mapped, I assume your listbox items come from a 1-D array so you've already concatenated your path and table names into array strings, e.g. I = 1 Fetch first from MyTable Do while not EOT( MyTable) laMyPathArray( I) = MyTable.Path + "\" + MyTable.DataSet Fetch next from MyTable I = I + 1 Next In the above help text you have a loop in which you get each value from the list into a variable, say. E.g. lcNextTable = laMyPathArray( I) + ".TAB" With each you can issue: Open Table lcNextTable Interactive This the correct idea? HTH Terry McDonnell -Original Message- From: Johanna D.

It will create an .mbx but you probably have a call or declare to a function it can't find in the current module. It then assumes it's part of a project so it creates an .mbo which is the file extension for a "MapBasic Object" you can create an .mbx from .mbo's by linking them in one project.

RE: MI-L MapBasic Question
Go with a number of runs limit rather than a date. Release the app and with 50 trial uses. That way if they install it and forget about it until after the 30 days they can still try your program. Write the number of uses to a file in the registry each time using the API (you will have to convert your api function declarations to mapbasic variable structure but that is easy) name your file something that sounds system critical and give it a .dll extension to fool even the most experienced users. Each time the program runs have it check the number written to the file and add one to it if it's greater than fifty Note "Your number of trial uses has expired."

Re: MI-L MapBasic Question
If you want MBX apps to time-out after a certain number of days, you have to build it yourself. The simplest method is to hard-code a "time-to-die" date into the code and test that against the systems clock. To check that the user hasn't rolled back the system date, just check the dates on some system files to see if any are newer than the system date. Other techniques involve writing the install date in an encrypted file or in the registry, but these are easily defeated if the user knows where to look. To get around this, you could use a demo mode setting for new programs and have the user register by phone or web link to get a code from you to upgrade the app to full. That way if the user tries to wipe out the key file, the app drops back to demo level. There's even fancier tricks, but you have to ask yourself how much protection do you really need vs how much trouble it is to code? In the end, there's no bullet-proof scheme that will stop a dedicated hacker (even dongles get hacked easily), but most legitimate users won't bother to try, nor will most be able to defeat a simple system, especially if they have to get a key from you to run an app in full mode. There's also other tools besides code solutions: license agreements and lawyers, for starters... - Bill Thoen "Frank Aaron (EUS)" wrote: > > I produce a number of mbx's that are employed by our company's internal employees >and external contractors -- to that end would it be possible (and does MapBasic >support) to integrate a segment of code that would limit the duration of the >program's usage?

Re: MI-L MapBasic Question
I do something similar to what the others have proposed, writing the date into a hidden file somewhere, but I also come up with a sort of encryption for the date. I change the numbers into something that doesn't appear to be a date at all by adding numbers, converting it to ascii characters or some other technique. You can get real creative with this and you don't even have to hide it. Good luck.

Well, you're doing this exactly the way you need to do it.

You still need to use "Run Program", but it's harder since you don't necessarily know which email software you are using. It's possible that you could use DDEExecute to send commands to EXPLORER.EXE, telling EXPLORER to mail the file using whatever email software is registered. I have NO idea what those commands might be, unfortunately. Neither of these things is really MapBasic-specific. You know how to make MapBasic tell other programs what to do; the only problem is what to tell those programs to do.

YesI got this answer from the list some time ago:
Below is a snippet of code that allows you to retrieve file names
located in a particular directory. The first argument of the FindFirstFile
API call can either be a string that specifies a valid directory or path and
filename, which can contain wildcard characters (* and ?). In my example
below I'm searching for all the Word documents (.doc) in the c:\temp
directory. Make sure you include all the constants, type and function
declarations in your MB code and also remember to release the
FindFirstFileHandle at the end!!
Hope this helps,

or if you don't want to use the API:
MapBasic has no functions for getting a list of files in a directory. You
can use the Windows API, or use the following, which uses a DOS command to
get the list into a file which can then be read in MapBasic.

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. Listers, Is there anyway when switching a layer on in MapBasic to know whether a global style override has been set?

The only problem is when an image has been switched off and a style override has been set for the layer, when it's switched back on again it displays as default (without the style override). Looking at the MapBasic reference guide it's only possible to switch a layer on as either GLOBAL (with style override) or GRAPHIC (as default). So if you use GRAPHIC it ignores any previous style overrides that had been set or if you use GLOBAL this displays with style override regards of whether it was set previous to being switched off.

Well, well... Once again, this list comes up with the answer! Thanks to Jacques Paris and Steve Nabors for the hints. The trick is to use the WinFocusChangedHandler() function and rewrite the MapperShortcut menu (ID 17) depending on whether the focus is in the special window you want or not. Steve also mentioned that if you push this technique too far it's not all that stable. But the following scrapplication shows that it works, and for two windows it looks stable enough (I couldn't break it.) This creates a simple table and opens two windows. The one with the yellow rectangle is the special one. Right-click in this one and all you get is is the Exit option on the flying menu. But right-click on the green one and you get the normal MapperShortcut menu. Sorry for the lack of comments, but this is just a study for the real thing later.

Is it possible to select the boundary line or create a line which encompases many property boundary and have that line offset say 6m so that I have a quick guide to more accurately place my point items.

RE: MI-L Mapbasic Question :- Code for creating offset lines
You can try halfbuffer (on our site as HALFBUFF13.zip) that will build a parallel line on one side of the “street” at the time, respecting the drawing direction of each segment.
