Below are a few snippets to help. I've assumed a buttonpad to select a
tool that you click to get the co-ords. Selecting the tool "primes" the
procedure GET_START_POINT, such that when you click the map it "fires",
thus getting the start x/y into float vars. Then do your pipelining
stuff.

Subject: [MI-L] MI - L - MapBasic Help with User Selections
Hi list
I have searched the archives because im sure ive read about this in the
past but I cant seem to find what I need.
Basically im writing a tool that will build a pipeline between a serious
of centreline points. I need for the user of the tool to be able to
select the beginning centreline point for the creation of my pipline.
The first part of the program creates the points, im then looking to
allow the user, while the program is running to selelct the start point
and the program will continue running from there to create my lines.
I really just need to take the x and y coordinates from the users
selection and place that information into variables to begin the second
part of the process.
Can anyone help me?
I hope this makes sense.
Regards
Carolyn Bergin
