Dear list members (especially Justin Ward):
I am interested in event driven GX programming using VB in a GX too. I was
able to create a VB program to change formats of gridded data sets from our
in-house binary format to a GRD grid but it worked by having my VB
application get the file, read it in, write the data as a GXF file then
starting an external application (the one that GeoSoft has in their
examples, actually) that converts GXF to a GRD. I finally decided to do
this as a more integrated GX without VB but would have liked to make the VB
version work better.
I would like to be able to do two things,
1) Get an array of floats (maybe x,y,z values, for example) from a data
base, pass them to my application, process them, then write them back to a
data base. It seems to me that the only way to do this is to create a temp
file outside of GeoSoft with my x, y, z values, have my app read them in,
then write them out externally after processing, then import this data set
to my data base (yuchhh).
2) Get mouse clicks from a profile plot and have my application capture them
to get x,y points then use them to process other data. (i.e., to select
profile limits, or flag bad data points from the profile plot)
I would like to know if anyone has had experiences with using VB too and
would appreciate any suggestions on how to do either of these things.
Thanks
