All,
It's a long shot but does anyone have any thoughts on the management of data
layers within groups in MapInfo? I'll try and explain a little better...
MapInfo's layer control when it contains more than 20 or so layers gets a
little tedious when trying to search for a specific layer to turn on or off.
Having layer groups that you could expand/collapse at will would be better,
like...
ENVIRONMENTAL
Hedgerows
Tree Preservation Orders
Wild Foul Site
ENGINEERING
Bridges
Structures
Kerb
WATER
Pipes
Lakes
Streams
etc, etc...
I think that ArcView operates this kind of 'legend' facility as do a number
of web apps like Autodesk MapGuide but has anyone looked at this in MapInfo,
any tools available in the community? I remember that Juan Pufleau made a
stab at an alternative to the layer control called LAYRTOOL.mbx but it
basically creates a button for every layer you have open allowing you to
toggle it on and off. Its useful but not quite what I'm looking for.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Dave
