Thanks to those who responded to my post on Feb. 4.
I'm wondering why the responses came to me via e-mail,
rather than being posted to the group, so others might
find help also with this type of problem. But I
appreciate the help, regardless of how it comes to me.
Apparently I didn't explain clearly enough what exactly
I want to do. I want to be able to do, programatically,
what I can do interactively in MapInfo. In MapInfo, with
MYFILE editable, I can double click on the region object
(only one object in the file), which brings up the region
object dialog, where I can type in new values for "Center X"
and "Center Y".
I would like to update a region object's centroid x-y coordinates
on the fly, from values saved to variables.
Scenario:
dim xcoord as float
dim ycoord as float
xcoord=-118.007028
ycoord=33.843899
update myfile
set obj ?????
I want to do this as part of a MapBasic program, but have been trying to
do it first in the MapBasic window. I have been unable to use the update
command to accomplish the task. I get syntax error type messages, no
matter how I try to do it. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance
