Re: MI Can MapBasic call routines in ActiveX DLLs?

I've been asking around about this; I would like to be able to share some VB code (access to Win32API, common functions, etc.) with MapBasic. Currently, I cut and paste the code, then make the necessary syntax modifications... Not too much of an ordeal, but could it be better? The answer so

Re: MI Workspace

Open up the .wor file in a text editor... It should be easily readable... My nightmare has occurred... I accidentally deleted a table which was used in several of my fairly complicated workspaces yesterday and when I try to open them today, not only can they not find that one but they

MI Resource Files/DLLs

I want to be able to use custom buttons in my MapBasic applications, and preferably share them with my VB apps. I can create resource files in VB (.RES), but the MI user guide says that MapBasic can only use DLLs How does one create a resource file of one type or another, that can be

Re: MI Workspace to Geoset with MapBasic

I think you should be able to modify geoset.mbx if MapInfo will provide the source code... Is there any way to convert a workspace to a geoset by using MapBasic-script? I'd like to convert a lot of workspaces to geosets and using some kind of batch in MapBasic would speed up this proces

MI Communicating with VB

Re: MI Calls to kernel.exe

Isn't it Kernel32.dll? You must have it somewhere because the Kernel is the part that links your OS to your hardware - it not optional. I'm having big problems with my beginner's MapBasic exercises. All DLL calls to "kernel.exe" fail - this file does not exist anywhere on my system

Re: MI can i make a mapx geoset from my mapinfo workspace

Geoset.mbx will create a Geoset from your workspace, but as to what it will include I'm not sure. However, both Geosets and Workspaces are readable text, so I would run Geoset.mbx and compare your gst and wor files. If necessary, edit the Gesoset manually... hi all i have a mapinfo

As far as I know PixShow.mbx(?) [available from MI web-site] will do this. Hello MI'ers I'm new to MapInfo and I'm trying to set up a project that will contain images. What I want to do is: Create points that, when clicked on with the mouse, will open a small image viewer and

Re: MI: What is MI's market share in the US and abroad?

I know its a bit parochial, but In UK Local Government Circles, the desktop mapping breakdown around last year was: MapInfo 21% ArcView (ESRI) 19% Someone else 12% ...and then the rest... I'm sure MI will give you some figures, but regardless, I suggest that if ESRI are claiming 90% of most

Re: MI Training courses

experiences with all three and all have been favourable. MapInfo themselves are a good starting point, but obviously ByDesign and DataView are good if you have specific requirements... There are plenty of others, I'm sure, but we have had no experience of them. Chris Martin Lincolnshire County Council

Sum: MI MapX and InstallShield

something needs doing; the documentation is limited (especially for those who aren't old hands at this) and support from the Helpdesk is almost non-existent and then only given reluctantly.
