RE: [MI-L] MapBasic - How to tell if a ButtonPad is Showing
Title: RE: [MI-L] MapBasic - How to tell if a ButtonPad is Showing Hi, Here is a small function that will toggle the appearance of a named buttonpad. You can use this as inspiration ;-) - ButtonPadInfo(name_of_buttonpad, BTNPAD_INFO_WINID) will return the WindowID of the buttonpad - WindowInfo(nWID, WIN_INFO_OPEN) will, when used on a buttonpad, tell you if the buttonpad is shown (=true) or hidden (=false) ' Sub PADShowHide(ByVal sPadName As String ) Dim nWID As Integer OnError GoTo ErrorOccured nWID = ButtonPadInfo(sPadName, BTNPAD_INFO_WINID) If WindowInfo(nWID, WIN_INFO_OPEN) Then Alter ButtonPad sPadName Hide Else Alter ButtonPad sPadName Show End If '--- ErrorOccured: End Sub ' Peter Horsbøll Møller GIS Developer, MTM Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

Nielsen: Do you have an example of how WindowInfo is used to find the Show/Hide status of a floating button bar? I'm struggling with showing and hiding a button pad. I create the button bar and make sure that it has show as one of the attributes. I then issue the command "buttonpad_id = FrontWindow()" to obtain the window id. I tried to then issue the "Set Window buttonpad_id Hide" but it said I couldn't do that to that kind of window, so I tried "Close Window buttonpad_id" instead and it would appear that when I used the FrontWindow() command it was picking up the map window instead of the button pad I had just created as the map window closes and not the button pad. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Re: [MI-L] MapBasic - How to tell if a ButtonPad is Showing
Hi Nicki, Certainly :-) Dim i As SmallInt Dim WID As Integer Dim name As String For i = 1 To NumAllWindows() WID = WindowID(-i) If WindowInfo(WID,WIN_INFO_TYPE) = WIN_BUTTONPAD Then name = WindowInfo(WID,WIN_INFO_NAME) If WindowInfo(WID,WIN_INFO_OPEN) Then Print "BUTTONPAD, name = " + name + " is visible" ... Showing and hiding buttonpads are done using the Alter ButtonPad statement, as such (hiding all buttonpads) : Dim i As SmallInt Dim WID As Integer Dim name As String For i = 1 To NumAllWindows() WID = WindowID(-i) If WindowInfo(WID,WIN_INFO_TYPE) = WIN_BUTTONPAD Then name = WindowInfo(WID,WIN_INFO_NAME) If WindowInfo(WID,WIN_INFO_OPEN) Then Alter ButtonPad name Hide ... Buttonpads are not normal windows, and FrontWindow() and Close Window can only be used on browsers, mappers, graph and layout windows. Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars I.
