Neil, Hope this helps
Kind regards Tim Differences between MapX 4.51 and MapX 5.0 In MapX 4.51 when a new table was created using a LayerInfo object of type miLayerInfoTypeNewTable, the coordinate system used to create the new table was the map's current numeric coordinate system. In MapX 5.0 the map's numeric coordinate system is used only if you do not specify a features collection as the "Features" LayerInfo parameter. If you do specify a features collection the coordinate system of the layer from which the features collection was built is used as the new table's coordinate system. Bugs Fixed in MapX 5.0 23985 Cannot use miAggregationCount on a string column. The Fields.Add method allows the user to specify how values in the resulting Field will be aggregated. In MapX 4.51 a user could use miAggregationCount on a string column. This functionality did not work in MapX 5.02.19 but is fixed in this release. 23881 MapX is not reading the "LABEL\PARALLEL" = "TRUE" key in some geosets. This worked in MapX 4.51 but was not working properly in MapX 5.02.19. MapX misinterprets the value of the key. The labels display opposite of the way that they should, e.g., straight labels display as curved, and curved labels display as straight. This problem has been corrected. 23853 There is a new section in the MapX help entitled "MapX Field Naming Conventions". The sections explains what characters can and cannot be used when naming a MapX Field object. It also explains when these rules are enforced e.g., when an error is thrown when an invalid Field name is used. 23840 SnapToNode now works properly with the AddFeature tools. 23781, 15291 Geosets with multiple raster layers now center properly when opened. 23745 Performance (speed) for panning, zooming and other map operations on seamless raster layers has been improved. 23492, 23493, 23468 Memory leaks in the OCI, DAO and XML datasets have been fixed. 23450 he Geodictionary Manager now displays the geodictionary path when you lon on as a restricted user. The new behavior in MapX 5.0 is described below. GeoDictionary under a restricted user: The geodictionary will allow restricted users to see the geodictionary file path and registered files. No write access to registry and geodictionary file and path is given by default. To allow restricted users to change the geodictionary file path and/or additional search paths, registry access to the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MapInfo\MapX\5.0 key must to be granted to that user via regedit. To allow restricted users to register tab files to the geodictionary file path, access has to be given to write to that file and path in addition to the registry access. GeosetManager under a restricted user: Make a new dword key "NoGeosetToolsMenu" key under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MapInfo\MapX\5.0. The warning (not an error) that comes up "unable to update the registry" has nothing to do with MapX. It is an error that occurs in MFC when the application attempts to register itself as a server. It fails under restricted use. This is harmless. 23033 The redraw issue of multiple extraneous lines appearing on the map at certain zoom levels has been corrected. 23029, 20599 The redraw problems caused by panning the map when there is an object in the animation layer have been corrected. 22475 Setting LabelProperties.LabelPartialObjects to true now produces the expected result whenLabelProperties.LabelAlong is set to miLabelAlongMultiSegment. 21259 MapX now creates valid geometries when editing objects in Oracle Spatial. 11800 You can now bind data (create a dataset) on tables on read-only media, and you can perform Layer.Search on such tables. -----Original Message----- From: Neil Havermale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 November 2004 21:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L MapX Question I was wondering if anyone may have a changes/additions list for the version shift from MapX4.5 to MapX5.0? neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 14197 ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
