Paul,
a tricky one this, because the click and drag functionality of the
'column width change' is not replicated by any mapbasic commands. But,
I have had similar problems. To try and resolve it (fudge is perhaps a
better word) I wrote a little mbx (but you could use the mapbasic
window or WOR) that simply set the browser window size, picked only a
small number of the possible columns in the table and reset the font
size to something big enoughtto read, but small enough to fit the
default sizes mapinfo 'thinks ups' for your browser.
The aim of the game is to get a nice big browser window with only the
columns you need (ie Browse col1,col2 from mytable width 5 height
4........these numbers are inches by default you can set cm if you
want..email me)
if you just issue a browse * statement mapinfo defaults to 'squash
mode' and trys to squeeze all the columns
if you now issue a
set window frontwindow() Font("Helvetica", 1, 6, 0, 1)
command in the mapbasic window/wor it will reset the font (try
experimenting with the first number in the parenthesis and the font
name)
