Hi List, I apologize if this has already been sent to Lars and/or Bill.
I having being using MapInfo for about 6 months now and am just about the start using MapBasic. I have limited programming experience (Beginner VBA course and web application for school lab requirements), but think I have a fairly good grasp on the individual concepts. However I am struggling with how to setup an overall application. 1) Does anyone know of a source I can use to look at the coding for some MapBasic example applications? I have tried opening the .MB files that come with MapInfo both in MapBasic and in notepad, but it looks like things are encrypted. I also searched the MapInfo-L list archives, but couldn't find anything useful. 2) I would like to develop a MapBasic application that links a thematic map to the layout view. My layout contains a thematic map and corresponding rectangular objects that are meant to represent each geography found on the map. Beside these rectangular objects are text boxes that list the geography Id and value associated with it. I would like to run a MapBasic program that updates and sorts the rectangles and text boxes based on the thematic map instead of having to do it manually each time. Can anyone tell me if this would be a complex program to create? Any ideas on where to start with something like this or some examples of similar applications would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Christine
