RE: MI MB: VB6 DLL Access from MB
Hi, Creating DLL and using them from MB is a big wish from many MB developers. Unfortunately, as Richard writes, VB created COM DLLs that can't be used from MB. But there is a tool made by Desaware that might do the trick anyway. The tools is called SpyWorks and it creates a alias DLL that can retrieve the addresses for the wanted functions in the VB DLL. I have tried it in a simple way and I have got a hole through to a VB DLL, but only with a simple function, nothing fancy as large use defines dialogs, but this ought to be possible as well. Is there anyone else out there who has good experience with this tool ?

Re: MI Crystal Report

MI Papersize definitions...
Hi, Is there anyone out there who has a complete list for the Papersize definitions for use in MapBasic 6.0. I know MapBasic comes with a Papersize.def, but the papersize definitions for A1 and A0 are missing as far as I can see. As far as I have figured out the values for A0 and A1 can change from printer to printer. I tried a HP650: A0 - 268, A1 - 267. and a HP2500: A0 - 270, A0 - 269 If anyone knows of a set of values that a recognized by all printers, I sure would appriciate these.

Re: MI SQL Select full jolin
Hi John, I haven't excactly tried it myself, but this ought to do the the job: 1. This SQL query requires that both of your tables has a Integer column. Lets call it OUTJOIN All the values in these two column should be the same, for instance 1. 2. Your SQL syntax would then be (I guess you allready have seen it): Select * From Table1, Table2 Where Table1.OUTJOIN = Table2.OUTJOIN Into FULLJOIN NoSelect This query ought to give you a table with as many records as the product of the two input tables. It will match each of the records in Table1 with all the records in Table2. Good luck!

Re: MI Run command and object variable - more details
Hi Serge,
The problem is that the object variables are converted into text in your
Run Command
Statement. And when you convert an object variable to text, you get the
type of object
the variable contains/is pointing at.
This also explains the error you are getting : "Variable og field Region
not defined.
The way I would solve this problem is by inserting your objects into a new
table and then
create the SQL statement using this table.
Like this:
***
*
Dim i As Integer
'**Create a new table for the objects...
Create Table OBJECT_SQL
(
ID Integer
)
File TempFileName$("")
'**Let's make the table mappable...
Create Map For OBJECT_SQL
CoordSys Table gsGridUnderN
'**Inserting your first object...
Insert Into OBJECT_SQL (OBJ) Values (goCelluleModifiee)
'**Inserting all the objects in your array...
For i = 1 To Ubound(goCelluleFille)
Insert Into OBJECT_SQL (OBJ) Values (goCelluleFille(i))
Next
'**Make the selection into FUSION
Select * From gsGridUnderN
Where OBJ Contains Any (Select OBJ From OBJECT_SQL)
Into Fusion
'**Do the rest of yor work with this table
'***Clean up the temp table:
Drop Table OBJECT_SQL
***
*
I hope this helps you !
Best regards,
Peter

MI Problem with printing on HP8000
Hi There, I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has the same problem with the HP8000 printer when printing from MapInfo. Appearently this printer works most of the time. But in certain cases it just reports "Out of memory..." As far as I have figured out so far there seems to be a special problem with some labels written with a special Font (in this case Arial). The printfile is as big as 1.06 MB, which not should be a problem. If I try printing the same area with some other labels the printfile only has a size around 0.5 MB. There doesn't seem to be any problems printing large raster maps. Any ideas would be appriciated!

Hi, It's an even smaller problem than describes by Uffe. In MapInfo: File Open Table...

MapInfo automatically created the *.tab file and next time you just select this one. Good luck!

Re: MI MapBasic PointInPolygon predicate function
Hi David, Concerning the problem with checking whether a point is within a region: You can use the geographical operators without SQL. That is you might ask if one object is within/intersects/contains another: *** ** Dim oPoint, oRegion As Object oPoint = CreatePoint(..) Create Region Into Variable oRegion '**Now check whether the region contains the point: If oRegion contains oPoint Then '**point is within region Else '**Point is NOT within region End If *** ** And in this way you are able of checking a lot of thing on your objects without having to save them to a table first and then use SQL. And I do agree with you there seems to be a bug somewhere in MapBasic concerning the Error handling. I have also created a lot of object creating programs - and of course as a good programmer - added error handling to these function, because a lot of things might not go the way they were expected to do. Often my problem is that I erase one object with another. Somtimes the result is a not existing object and when I try to nsert this object into a table an error occures that is not handled proberly by the error handling in my program.

Re: MI Determining if a table is open in MB
Hi Tim, The easiest way to determine whether or not a table is open, is as you mention your self to use the TableInfo() function, which will give an error if the table isn't open. And because this question might be asked over and over again, I would say that the best thing to do is to put this question inside a function that returns TRUE if the table is open and FALSE if not. This means that you can use this function in the same way yhat you use FileExists(). Here is that function: '** ** 'Is table szTab open '** ** Function TableOpen(ByVal szTab As String) As Logical Dim i As Integer TableOpen = False OnError GoTo NoSuchTable '***If you are asking for the Selection table, this question is nessessary... If szTab = "Selection" Then If SelectionInfo(SEL_INFO_NROWS) = 0 Then Exit Function End If End If '*** If the table isn't open, an error will occure... i = TableInfo(szTab,TAB_INFO_NUM) '*** The table is open... TableOpen = TRUE OnError GoTo 0 Exit Function '- NoSuchTable: '***The table is NOT open... End Function '** ** I hope this will help you on with your project !

Re: MI Calculating Volumes
Hi Nick, The calculation of volumens can be done in VM ! Do the following: 1. Create the grid with all your height data 2. Create another grid that covers the same area as the previos. This grid's values should be Z-value where you want the surface to be. Groundlevel or watersurface... 3. Now you'll have to calculate the diffence between these two grid, use the grid calculator. 4. Allmost last thing. Draw a area that show the area you would like to have the volumen calculated for. 5. VM has some tools where you can get updated columns with some values from the grid. One of these should give you the possibility to update with the volumen. I hope this helps you further even thought my desciption is a bit 'inaccuracy'.

MI wacked out line length calculations
Hi Ben, I guess you problem here might be the fact that some ( or rather a lot ) of your records have been selected more than once, and therefore the entire length of all the lines will double, triple or more. Try the following: Select LineName, sphericalobjectlen(t_name.obj, "mi") From MyLineTab Where obj Intersects any (Select obj from MyRegionTab where Name = "TheRightName") Group By LineName Into MyNewSelection NoSelect In this way every entry will only be shown ones. Of course the LineName column should be unique, eventually add a new column and update it with the RowID. Do also have in mind that when you do a gruoping your obj is lost, therefore you have to select the Lenght information from the beginning.
