Re: MI-L Original layer name

[Stefan Majtan]

Thanks to all who responded to my previous question. I have already got 
the solution as Jacques and Peter presented. Furthermore, I discovered 
that the number after layer's name does not always indicate the "distance" 
from the base layer but rather an order in which the thematic layer was 
created.
I wondered whether some cover function for referencing a thematic layer to 
its base layer exists. That's what I was looking for. It seems that such 
function does not exist (based on responds from the people around).

Once again, thanks to everyone.

I'm not sure the the number is the "distance" from the original layer in 
the layer control, but more a count. The first thematic layer you create 
from a layer is called layer1, the next layer2 etc. If you then close 
layer2, the next will be named layer2 again.

It seems that the name of a thematic layer is that of the original table
followed by (x) where x is the "distance" from the thematic to the 
original
layer (if one thematic > (1), if two, the topmost (2), the closest to the
thematic (1) )

The actual name of the layer on which the thematic is based can thus be
obtained by left$(layerinfo(win_id, layer_no, 1), 
instr(1,layerinfo(win_id,
layer_no, 1),"(") )

Dear mappers,
is there any way how to get the name (or layer order) of the layer from
which the thematic one was derived? I need to know the original layer 
name
 from which "xxx" thematic layer was created.

Any help is appreciated.
Regards Stefan Majtan
