I can double-click on an object's label & a "Label Style" dialog box will
appear. From there I can change the anchor point of that single label
without affecting the anchor point of the other labels of other objects in the
same table.
Is there a way to do this under program control? I want to put the label on
the left or the right of the object, depending on whether the object is to the
right or left of the center of the screen, so that the label has less chance
of being chopped off. Of course I don't want the dialog box to come up - I
just want to do a quick check when the object position changes & move
the label accordingly, all without human intervention (& quickly as this
object moves every 10 seconds.)
I've opened the MapBasic window when using the dialog box, but no code
appears. Searching on "anchor point" only shows
LABEL_INFO_POSITION but there appears to be no way to change this
setting.
I could do this using CreateText, but for other reasons I want to use the
native labels.
Thanks,
Dave
