Hi Paul, Check out MapBasic Help for SEARCHINFO. They have a sample there that clicks on a point and gets Lat/Long [CommandInfo()]. When the user selects the tool on the dialog, you need to close the dialog down. When the selection is made, bring the dialog back and re-populate it with the same data that was there before it was closed (i.e. remember what was there). Hope that this helps, Mark Crompton -----Original Message----- From: Paul Fildes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 22, 1999 7:11 AM To: MapInfo List Subject: MI: Getting Co-ordinates Dear all, Using MapBasic I have created an application for adding/editing/deleting map data. For adding and editing data I have provided a dialog which prompts the user for the relevant table information including a co-ordinate set (X,Y). If the user doesn't know the exact location, then I have been asked to provide a button which the user can click, and take them to the map window containing the table, and extract the co-ordinates from the map. So far the button in my dialog is defined as having a handler routine which it calls. Its in this routine where I have already been able to determine the MapWindowID for the first instance of the table, and set it as the front window. Can you please advise me how I might achieve the rest of the above?. How do I switch back to the map window, recognise a mouse click on the map, and then refer back to my dialog?.
