MapInfo Pro

1. Use CommandInfo(CMD_INFO_Y) to extract the row that the User click on
2. Use BrowserInfo() function to extract specific details about the position of the cursor
3. Use Fetch to then get the corresponding record. e.g. Fetch Rec n where N is the RowID of the specific record
4. Setup a loop to extract the values for each field of this record. For each field in the record you'll need to query to extract the data. The loop can be setup to be dynamic based on the number of fields (check out TableInfo([Table_Name], TAB_INFO_NCOLS)). There's an example of this at the end of the "Fetch Statement" description in the MapBasic help file
5. Build a dialogue box with the appropriate controls, prepopulate controls with the values extracted as part of Step 4

I'm using MapInfo v15, but compiling to V12.5.

Thanks,

Sub Test_Sub
 Note WindowInfo(FrontWindow(), WIN_INFO_TYPE)
End Sub

There is a response when clicking in a Map window, but no response when clicking in a browser window.
This happens whether I compile with v12.5 or v15

​Hi Mitchel,

I'm not sure why it may not work with a custom tool button, but taking a look at the MapBasic Reference guide, I found reference to using the ToolHandler procedure which works in conjunction with a special ToolButton. The button associated with a ToolHandler procedure is restricted; in that you cannot use custom icons or drawing modes with the ToolHandler's button.​

There is a simple example program provided in the MapBasic v12.5 Reference Guide which demonstrates how to set up the ToolHandler procedure that will be called if you select the MapBasic tool, then click on a Map, Browser, or Layout window. I have attached the example program - please see attached zip file which contains the compiled .MBX tool and .MB file.

When the attached tool is run in MapInfo Pro, a button which looks like a crosshair or plus symbol will appear in the toolbar. If you click on this button to activate the tool, the mouse cursor should transform to reflect this symbol, then if you click on any row/column in the browser window it will return the specific column ID and row ID number relative to where you clicked.

For further details about the ToolHandler procedure, please see pages 650-651 of the MapBasic v12.5 Reference Guide. Hope this somewhat helps! :)
