Is there a quick way to set the symbol for a large selection of objects
using MapBasic?
Here is my problem: I have a series of tables, in each of these
tables I have multiple point object groups, they are grouped by a field
called "type" in my MapBasic I select all from that table where the "type"
like "x".
Currently I loop through the selection and set each row's object
symbol to what I want it to be. This is horrendously slow considering there
can be 100,000+ objects for each selection I run on the table and there can
be 15 to 20 different "type"'s within the table.
So I'm wondering if there is a MapBasic statement where I could do
something along the lines of "Set Symbol = MakeSymbol(1,1,255) Where (Select
* From MyTable Where Type Like X)"
A sort of sub query to set the symbol on a mass selection? Does something
like this exist or is there only one way to do this?
