MI-L 2 differents WinChangedHandler handlers at the same time ?

Hi everyone Another question... My main Mapbasic application uses a standard Mapinfo handler, like WinChangedHandler. If I run another MBX application from this main application, is it possible to use another WinChangedHandler handler for this slave application without conflict ? Of

Re: MI-L 2 differents WinChangedHandler handlers at the same time ?

Hi Cristophe, It's not only possible, it's how MIPro works :-) Every mbx is a sandbox, with it's own set of event handler routines. These routines are fired by MIPro in sequence when required, thus they don't interfere with each other (unless programmed to do so). The order of the execution

RE: MI-L return value

Steve, Thanks again for the reply. I was afraid to bother you too much. I actually did try that: Sub SaveScenAs thisfile = MIDrive = C:\RedistDB\MB Tools\tabcall Commit Table log as file_name = FileSaveAsDlg(MIDrive,thisfile,tab,Save As

RE: MI-L return value

Your code is wrong. The target of the 'Commit Table As' cannot be file_name = FileSaveAsDlg(MIDrive,thisfile,tab,Save as new) That doesn't evaluate to a string as it would in C, for example. You need to get the value for file_name first, then use that as the target for the commit. Try this
