Hello all,
In response to Colin's question "will MapInfo do HTML".............. I just put HtmlView on the website www.wap3.com/download/HtmlView.zip
Use Launch.App www.wap3.com/download/Launch.zip
or on of the other fine launchers available in the list download to let you user
click on the map and then "take them to the web" or use it in your "help" menu
to take them directly to your site. Will also work with any other
application that can launch a program.
HtmlView is just a simple browser instead of the usual *pig-ware* Since it is written in Delphi, just put the files in a folder and your ready to go. Give your user only the functionality you
want............
Features:
1) Work with local files or get page from the web 2) You can hide/show the basic NavBar [back,forward,refresh,stop and url entry] 3) Stop user from jumping to links [java & scripts will still work - on the wish list] 4) Keep user from closing window/app [then close it yourself with /QUIT parameter] 5) Hide Min/Max window buttons and menu 6) Set initial top/left/width/height default is 1/4 of screen centered [works with any resolution] 7) Use your own title in the window caption 8) Set window for *Stay On Top* [like Windoze Task Mgr or some find/search boxes] 9) Reset default parameters 10) Gets new pages into the same window - won't muck up the users screen 11) Small compact and clean code 168k Example for MapBasic To The Web: Run Application "c:\HtmlView\HtmlView.exe /F=www.wap3.com" Local: Run Application "c:\HtmlView\HtmlView.exe /F=c:\webpages\index.html /topon /linkoff /x=0 /y=0 /w=320 h=240 /closeoff" |
