Eric,

Unfortunately you can't do it.  VB only creates COM DLLs and since MapBasic
does not support COM, VB created DLLs cannot be used from MapBasic.

Subject: MI MB: VB6 DLL Access from MB


Could someone point me to a working example of : how to access a VB DLL from
a MB program ?
(as well as any indication regarding VB compile flags settings ?)

It's possible from VC++ or Delphi, but I need to do it from a VB6 DLL, and
I'm stuck ... 
any workaround appreciated (but I don't want to embed OLE in VB, got to stay
in MI and call VB functions ....)

TIA
Eric.

Objet:  MI AD: SVGExport.MBX - Export your maps to SVG from MapInfo !

Dear listers,

For those interested in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG),
a new MapBasic program called SVGExport.MBX that exports
MapInfo maps to SVG is available from DBx Geomatics at
http://www.dbxgeomatics.com/SVGExport.htm. 
Please use the download link from that page to download the MBX and
documentation.

SVG provides an interesting and low cost approach to
publish maps on the internet and also allows
quite sophisticated output and interactivity
(animation, etc !).

For anyone interested in getting an 
introduction on mapping with SVG you are also
welcomed to visit DBx Geomatics SVG Technology

Also an interesting article about XML and GIS from giscafe.com:
