Tilmelding samt yderligere information kan ses p�: http://www.cowi.dk/GIS -----Original Message----- From: Eagle, David A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 3:49 PM To: MapInfo-L ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Subject: MI-L Data Management by Layer Group 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 David A.
