MI Re: Invoking MapInfo Pro from VB application
Paul,
try to use the Automation.
If MapInfo is properly installed this will work:
dim mapinfo as object
set mapinfo = CreateObject("Mapinfo.Application")
mapinfo.Visible = True
Look at the MapInfo documentation for integrated mapping for more.
Or ask the registry for the install-path for mapinfo.
Regards
Markus

Subject: MI: Invoking MapInfo Pro from VB application
Dear all,
From my VB application I'd like to launch MapInfo Professional via a menu
item, and/or a toolbar. The problem I have is that my application when
running isn't going to know where MapInfo has been installed on the
machine,
if at all. Can anybody please tell me how I can determine whether MapInfo
Pro. has been installed on a machine, and if so, how to launch it?.
I've already tried the following code, which apparently works for
launching
"Excel", but it didn't work for MapInfo;
Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" _
(ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As
String, _
ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Sub cmdLaunchMapInfo_Click()
Dim ReturnedStatus As Long
'Launch MapInfo
ReturnedStatus = ShellExecute(Me.hwnd, vbNull, "Mapinfo", vbNull,
vbNull,
1)
End Sub
Thanks,

Re: MI Problem with Beta version MapInfo 6
John, for beta testing discussions and questions please use the online discussion forum on the Mapinfo Web Site, where you downloaded the beta, thanks Markus - Original Message - From: John Maguire [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 17, 2000 6:03 AM Subject: MI Problem with Beta version MapInfo 6 While Test driving the Beta version of MapInfo 6. I have had problems overwriting existing workspaces which reside on a server using Windows NT. This problem has been experienced in version 5.5 and doesnt appear to have been rectified in Version 6 Beta. The error message is "Unable to save workspace". The only way to get around the problem is to save the .wor as a different name or delete the existing .wor and reuse tht file number again. Our in house IT people have exhausted all possibilities associated with Windows NT. Is there a time out issue with MapInfo across a network when saving workspaces? Can it be manually reset ? Has this problem been experienced by other users? Any solution to this very frustrating problem would be appreciated.
