Mappers:
Is there a way to update an object's style programmatically
without recreating the object?
A snippet of sample code from the MapBasic Help file says:
'set a new "current symbol style"
sSymbolAttr = "(35,65280,22)"
sCmd = "Set Style Symbol MakeSymbol" + sSymbolAttr
Run Command sCmd
' use an Update statement to create a new Point for
' every row in the Selection table. Each new Point
' will use the new "current symbol style"
Update "Selection"
Set obj = CreatePoint(CentroidX(obj),CentroidY(obj))
However, I need to do this for polygons!
When working in MapInfo, I can go to "Options | Region Style"
and modify editable, selected objects in the current window..
but that doesn't seem to work from within MapBasic (?)
I understand maybe I need to loop through each polygon and
modify them using Alter Object?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
