MapInfo Pro Developers User Group

I've created a frame into a Layout Designer with a set pen and brush style.

Create Frame into window layout_id (0.9101,9.1951) (4.4927,11.2819) Pen(1,2,0) Brush(2,16776960,16776960) Name "TEST"

I then wish to change that style and I'm trying to use the syntax below but it will not compile. Is it possible to change the style of a frame once created or is this limited to certain types of frame.

alter designer frame window layout_id ID LayoutItemID(Layout_ID,"TEST",-1) style region Pen(1,1,0) Brush(1,16776960,16776960).

I'm using MapInfo & MapBasic v16.0.3

Thanks

HI David,

Unfortunately you can only change the Layout frame style using the GUI Frame Properties dialog. There is no MapBasic yet to support it.

David, there is a task for us to work on this. I'm not sure yet when it will be assigned.

Hi Michele, Is there a .NET call I could make to change the frame style, otherwise I'll have to just delete it prior to saving to the workspace? The workspace was to be used as a print template and the frame updated with the map, but the map appears coloured.

Hi David, sorry - there is no .NET call.
