Hi Nick,
You may use the function MapperInfo as follows
dim x as string dim y as string x=MapperInfo(frontwindow(),MAPPER_INFO_MAXX) y=MapperInfo(frontwindow(),MAPPER_INFO_MAXY)
where the second parameter can be one of: MAPPER_INFO_MAXX The largest x-coordinate shown in the window. MAPPER_INFO_MAXY The largest y-coordinate shown in the window. MAPPER_INFO_MINX The smallest x-coordinate shown in the window. MAPPER_INFO_MINY The smallest y-coordinate shown in the window.
if you want to use this through the mapbasic window you need to use the following number constants instead of the 'words':
Define MAPPER_INFO_MINX 5
Define MAPPER_INFO_MINY 6
Define MAPPER_INFO_MAXX 7
Define MAPPER_INFO_MAXY 8
for example: x=MapperInfo(frontwindow(),7)
Regards
Stuart

Hi All,
can anyone help with the mapbasic code behind grabbing the easting/northing
of a mapwindow (centre or bottom corner) as a text string. Hopefully it can
be used like the CurDate() function through workspaces and/or mapbasic
window...
thanks in advance
