Hi James,
All objects in a layout are accessable programmatically.
The layout "layer" is the cosmetic layer of the layout window, and the
table name can be retrieved by issuing
WindowInfo(LayoutWindowID,WIN_INFO_TABLE)
Then traverse and update it as you would a normal table.
Note that cosmetic layers only have a single column, OBJ (and ROWID).
Best regards / Med venlig hilsen

All,
Is there a way that you can set text objects on a layout as variables, then change the values of these variables so the text object on the layout changes?
I have a layout that is opened by clicking a tool button, which loads a workspace that contains the layout.
The layout has fields that need completing on in it (drawing number and other things). I have a tool that displays a dialog box, which contains edittext controls for entering the text that needs displaying in these fields (it creates text objects on the layout in the correct location). I want to extend the functionality of the tool so it can read the values that are in the fields, display them in the edittext controls on the dialog, and allow the user to edit them. Once the user has edited them, i want the tool to update the text objects on the layout with the new values.
Does anyone know of the best way to do this? I have attempted several approaches, all of which have failed. I am using mapinfo and mapbasic 7.8
Thanks in advance,
James
