MI Integrated mapping problem
Title: Integrated mapping problem
Hi listers,
I have an integrated mapping app that I am developing in VB6.
On my main form I have three picture boxes that I am using as a map window, browser window, and graph window respectively. I have set up the map window as the application window ('Set Application Window...'), and given the 'Set Next Parent...' statement for all three picture boxes.
When the app is running I would like to be able to clear the contents of the browser or grapher windows, if the window has already been used, so a different table can be browsed or graphed. I have tried statements such as Mapinfo.do"Close Window " Browse2.hWnd (for the browser window) and Mapinfo.do"Close Window FrontWindow()" etc etc. None of this seems to work and when I try the Close front window statement, all three windows are cleared.
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance

MI: Integrated mapping with ProViewer
Can ProViewer be integrated into and controlled by a VB program just like MI Pro? What we have in mind is a VB program that launches an instance of ProViewer and then successively opens workspaces in this instance of ProViewer via the VB routine. I would like to hear any comments on similar experiences, and how it resembles or differs from integrating a MI Pro instance into a VB program. Will sum. Thanks in advance. _ Claude Lavoie, a.g.

Re: MI integrated mapping application
Jayprakash, You may take a look at MapWizAX, an OCX control, which will make the integrated mapping much easier, esp. the callback function. You can get it for a free trial at: http://www.ducomsoft.com/mapwizax.htm Regards, Haibo Du Ducom Software -Original Message- From: Jayaprakash Atmaram [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, June 14, 2000 7:34 AM Subject: MI integrated mapping application Hi, One of my client has faced the following problem in integrated mapping application using VC++.

Dear MI gurus, This is related to Integrated Mapping in Vb 6.0 I had made a drop down menu in my main form which contains namely open table, browser and exit By by clicking on open table menu, Two different maps are opened on two different forms , then click on browser menu to open browser for recently open maps,a mapinfo dialog appears with two options for browser menu.At this stage if you click cancel button immediately next statement is executed and a blank form is visible Problems 1. How can I trace the ok and cancel button of browser Dialog ? 2. Resizing all maps without clicking on maps dosen't work? 3. If I have more than one Maps open on different forms , Which function should I use to get the list of all recently open Maps in a listView or equivalent control. Iam stuck here.

MI Integrated Mapping - Can't Create Object
I'm trying to develop an Integrated Mapping app with VB6 and MI Pro 5.5 on
an NT4 machine but I can't get off first base.
I keep getting the error :
'ActiveX component can't create object'
on the line:
Set mi = CreateObject("MapInfo.application")
I have reinstalled MapInfo 5.5 and it runs correctly and the registry
settings for MI appear to be correct.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong?
Thanks in advance.

RE: MI integrated mapping
Use a Win32 API call (for more info check out SetWindowPos Declare in the API Viewer (Win32API.txt)) eg. 1/ copy the following to a module in your project (nb e-mail will probably truncate the function statment) Declare Function SetWindowPos Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal hWndInsertAfter As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal cx As Long, ByVal cy As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long) As Long 2/ Create a new form with your buttons on and place in the form load:- Const conHwndTopmost = -1 Const conHwndNoTopmost = -2 Const conSwpNoActivate = H10 Const conSwpShowWindow = H40 SetWindowPos hwnd, conHwndTopmost, leftToolLoc, rightToolLoc, leftToolwidth, rightToolwidth, conSwpShowWindow You'll have to experiment with some of the values, I hope this helps Tim Chinchen (GIS Systems Developer) I.T.

MI integrated mapping
1) Where are mapinfo toolbar icons located? I want to integrate them in my visual basic form 2) I have a line icon (borrowed from vb) on my form and attched the following to it Private Sub pctrLine_Click() objMapInfo.RunMenuCommand M_TOOLS_LINEEnd Sub When I click it nothing happens, how can I get it work? Any help please thankyou
RE: MI integrated mapping
Elias, 1. The icons are integrated into the mapinfow.exe file. I have done screen captures to get them out. Most of them are in the attached ZIP file. 2. Do you have the MapBasic includes file with the constants declarations in your project? If not, you need to use the actual values, not the constants (like M_TOOLS_LINE) because VB does not know what M_TOOLS_LINE means.. - Brad toolbar_buttons.zip -Original Message- From: Elias Atlabachew [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 03, 2000 8:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI integrated mapping 1) Where are mapinfo toolbar icons located?

RE: MI Integrated mapping
Hi Harald,
This could be because a previous instance of MapInfo has not been closed
properly. You must quit the VB/Mapinfo application cleanly by issuing a
close all and set MyMapInfo to nothing. Have a quit menu command calling
something like this:
Private Sub Exiter()
MyMapInfo.do "Close all"
Set MyMapInfo = Nothing
End
End Sub
However, there will be times when Mapinfo will crash/not quit cleanly
(happens a lot during development). To cure this, do Ctrl-alt-del to call up
the Windows NT Task Manager. Close any instances of MapinfoW.exe listed in
Processes. Should do the trick!
A tip for you: you can use Chr(34) instead of """" to get the speech mark
character (though the ASCII code might depend on which character set you are
using).
Hope this helps,
Pete

RE: MI integrated mapping
Elias, There are third party tools that do a very good job of this. Pick up a copy of Visual basic Programmer's Journal and you will see a few ads for these tools. You can also use a form with a toolbar style. Not as sophisticated, but it works. - Brad -Original Message- From: Elias Atlabachew [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2000 8:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI integrated mapping Does some one know if it is possible to create floating buttonpads in Visual basic.

RE: MI Integrated mapping
Thanks to all that replied to my message yesterday: Yeah, I had indeed to many quotes. Removed them and it opens the tables. However, when I open the table and want to show it in my a picture on a form by issuing the Map From command I get an Error saying: Numeric Value Required (The message comes from VB). I changed quotes and syntax and if I enter a random string I get an eror message that says that the table is not open (of course not). What's wrong with that one? Code: MyMapInfo.Do "Set Application Window " frmMappers.OLE1.hwnd 'Picture on a form as container MyMapInfo.Do "Set Next Document Parent " frmMappers.OLE1.hwnd " Style 1" msg = "Open Table " msg = msg Chr(34) msg = msg MapNameArray(i, 1, BrowserNo) msg = msg Chr(34) msg = msg " Interactive " 'Built the string to show the open tables as maps msg2 = "Map From " msg2 = msg2 MapNameArray(i, 2, BrowserNo) 'Contains the table name without extension MsgBox msg2 'Get MapInfo to execute both strings MyMapInfo.Do msg MyMapInfo.Do msg2 Here comes the run time error. The strings seem to be okay and when I open a table manually through the MyMapInfo.runmenucommand M_file_open method it displays. If I then use the layer control to add the abopve opened table it works. But not if I don't do any manual stuff. (I ve got lots of table to open and can't so it manually, and anyhow, it's a matter of principles.

MI Integrated Mapping Question
Honored Listers, In Access97 I have a form with an Unbound Object Frame. The wizard knew how make it display a MapInfo map. Now, how do I tell it to recenter the map, with new Lon and Lat?

MI - Integrated Mapping and VBA
I am trying to introduce a callback in an Access 97 application (using VBA)
with Integrated Mapping
I am never able to get the SetCallBack to work. The Access error code always
says: "Method SetCallBack of object IMapInfo failed'.
If the line with SetCallBack is removed, a MapInfo window appears and
everithing works as expected except for this callback stuff.
Any idea ?
Thanks for any help.
Hereby an extract of the code (simplified to a max):
For the form itself:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set MyObj = CreateObject("MapInfo.Application")
MyObj.Visible = True
Set myObject = New MyClass
MyObj.SetCallBack myObject
MyObj.DO "Open Table ""States"" Interactive"
MyObj.DO "Map from States"
End Sub
For the MyClass class:
Public Sub SetStatusText(ByVal mytext As String)
MsgBox mytext
End Sub
For a declarations module:
Public MyObj As Object
Public myObject As New MyClass

MI Integrated mapping with VB- finding longitude and latitude
I have been asked to create an application that will allow a user to input a latitude and longitude and to return information about that point from one of two map layers. This sounds like it should be a fairly standard application for a mapping program, but I haven't been able to find a solution so far. First off, I am trying to use Integrated mapping (VB5.0 professional and MapInfo runtime 4.12). If there is a better way to do this then I am more then willing to listen to suggestions. If integrated mapping is a viable solution, how do I open more than one table in a window? I have no trouble getting a window to pop up with a map in it, I just can't get the two maps to overlay each other(one is a map of US county borders and the other is a map of US PSAP's, public safety answering points). Once I get the two maps to overlay each other, then I need to be able to take a latitude and longitude, and return information regarding the PSAP that covers that point. If no PSAP covers that point, then I need to return the county and state information. Are these sort of tasks possible using integrated mapping? A combination of SearchPoint() and SearchInfo() seems like it should work, but I haven't gotten far enough to try them and I don't want to waste any more time if they are not going to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
