MI saving/loading legends to files in MAPBASIC

[Miguel Cereceda]

Dear MapBasic Gurus:   Do you know if it is possible to use a template (thm file) of a legend when adding a layer to a map in MapBasic?   When I use the template to generate the thematic layer in MapInfo, I don�t see any reference to the thm file in the MapBasic Window, I see that MapInfo sets the different values of the legend explicitly (I suppose he knows the values of the parameters "reading" in some way the .thm file). But I need the actual parameters of a legend out of my code because the user must be able to reconfigure the legend, and my program should read the new configuration without re-coding.   The idea is to use a pre-configured legend (which could be re-configured by the user) when adding a layer to a map (In ArcView this can be done through ".avl" files, specifying in the code "use file x.avl for the legend of x layer", and when the user change the x.avl file, the code for applying this legend works without any change).   Thanks very much.   Miguel Cereceda
