MI-L Startup.Wor

Hello, List Although fairly new to MI I only usually ask a question of the group once I've read Help till I'm blue in the face. Well . I'm blue in the face. I have a Startup.wor, in the C:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional folder, that brings up all my maps and settings fine. I invoke

RE: MI-L Startup.Wor

what about avoiding all that which is bound to get messed up again next upgrade, and make a separate shortcut to it, specifying the required parameters? because i often need many of my 'favourite' settings and shortcuts at multiple terminals, i've made a kind of 'links page' on my intranet, which

RE: MI-L Startup.Wor

Terry Best thing to do - to have maximum control - is to avoid the use of workspaces when you have your own code you can use. You can take the statements in the workspace file and put them into your Fox Pro code. First line should be Close All to shut down any tables, and that is the last thing

RE: MI-L Startup.Wor

that's why none of my apps rely on system variables, because they vary. on my machine alone i have 21 profiles stored, some with sub-domain features and whatnot. it's impossible to guess where the user's thing is going to be everytime, and i don't have the time/patience to make a robust solution

RE: MI-L Startup.Wor

Hi, Mike Thanks for that. That is sort of how I'd like to go but: * I can't find anywhere how to do this: invoke MI, via the windows Run Command, incorporating a (I presume) workspace parameter or whatever. * I still don't know what all this home and private Windows directory

RE: MI-L Startup.Wor

Paul Thanks for getting back. I'm steering away from trying to control MI from VFP code. You may recall the problems I had with IM. All my control of MI is now in my MB application. Would another slant on your solution then be to transfer my statup.wor code to a MapBasic .MB, which is the

RE: MI-L Startup.Wor

Mike Thanks. I'll see if I can translate that into a VFP equivalent. The main feature of the command though is that it seems to suggest that MI can be invoked with a workspace as a parameter. E.g. via the syntax: path to Mapinfo. Exe [path to a startup.wor] Is that correct? Regards Terry

RE: MI-L Startup.Wor

Terry If you have an MB then yes do put all your workspace statements into it. No need to use a workspace Not sure if you need to worry about the various directory statements if you are opening tables directly - it depends on how much you want to hard code the paths in your app and where the

MI-L grid values

Hi List, Does anyone know a way of grabbing the values in the .mig file for a Grid thematic? Obviously the Info tool can see them but is there a way to see them as normal attributes? Regards, Nick Hall Salford GIS Ltd -

MI-L merging polygons which touch?

Hi out there, I have lots of partitioned areas. Something like (every charcter being a single polygon, 3 in the beginning) AB C So areas A and B touch. I would like to aggregate areas, if they touch. The result could be (2 polygons): AA C I dont care about fields/attributes, assume there no

MI-L WINNT blocks MI?

Dear List, is it possible that WINNT blocks MI operations? When working overnight we have to lock our PCs. The next morning, after relocking the PC I found out that MI always displayed the same Progress Bar (Updating a table) with the current value of 0 percent. Immediately after relocking the PC

MI-L Starting up MI from VFP

Hello again, List First of all - thanks ever so much all of you who wrote up suggestions. At one time replies were coming so thick and fast I was struggling to read them and reply. I've replied to some but, then, some of them have since replied back, and so on. So I apologise for not getting

MI-L DEF files for MapBasic

Where can I download the various .DEF files for a more up-to-date version of MapBasic than I own? These are MAPBASIC.DEF MENU.DEF (etc). I use MI6.5 and my MB version is 3. Most MB coding I do is OK with the old compiler, or I can use VB and get the results that way, with the help of the MB 6.5
