RE: [MI-L] Clash using Find with WinChangedHandler

Bob, This may be stating the obvious but the Find statement searches a mappable table and the change view/zoom/pan all work on map windows. So, if you're searching a table that you're over-writing won't that get MapInfo's knickers in a twist? But if you just moving the map window using pan/zoom

This is far easier than most think it is. And actually less work than what you propose (if you have a notebook computer). Included on the installation disk of your Mapinfo program is GPS tracking utility by Blue Marble called Geotracker. I wouldn't, couldn't do my job without it. You've got MI a

Hi Steve, It looks like you've specified the two string parameters returning the information as ByVal. They need to by ByRef (i.e. w/o ByVal in MB) to be able to return anything. Furthermore, in WinApi you always need to allocate a valid value to a return string variable prior to calling rou
