MapInfo Pro

Hello. How can I save my workspace automatically with mapbasic source code when I close the application and thus avoid the Message if I want to save? thank you

When your application is "ending"/is been shut down, MapInfo Pro will call the EndHandler procedure of the application - if it has one.

In the EndHandler, you can do all sorts of things such as saving your tables, saving your workspace, writing settings to a configuration file, deleting temp files, and more.

Here is an example:

Sub EndHandler  'Saving changes to a table and closing the temporary table  Commit Table TableWithMyWork  Close Table TempData     '**Call EndHandler of the RibbonLib to remove controls from Ribbon  Call RBNEndHandlerEnd Sub

I hope this helps

Hello. I refer to these dialogues. I want the first one not to appear. And in the second window the option (Save changes to MapInfo table) does not appear.

Thanks. 

Happy new year!!!

Hi Mayca

The first dialog appears because there are unsaved changes in your workspace. You may be able to avoid this by closing all at not including the Interactive keyword:

Close All

This depends on what you are doing and if you want to give your user a chance to save the workspace.

The second dialog appears because there are unsaved changes to a linked database table. That's a MapInfo table that is linked to a table in a database. That's why you have the option to save the changes locally or push them to the database.

To avoid this dialog from appearing, you have to loop through the open tables and see if any of them have unsaved changes. If that's the case. You can either undo these

Rollback Table sTab

or save them

Commit Table sTab

You can of course combine the loop with a dialog asking the user if they want to save to rollback the changes.

You are right. This is not what I would have expected.

It seems when MapInfo Pro is shutting down, it will check for unsaved edits before executing any EndHandlers in running MapBasic applications.

I tested this with the attached very basic MapBasic application.

I'd suggest you raise this issue with our support team (support@precisely.com) to get it investigated and potentially fixed. Feel free to also refer back to this thread.

Hi

I found a workaround using one of the new Events: AddInEvents_MapInfoProExiting.

This event gets called when MapInfo Pro is about to exit, and before Pro asks the user to save any changes.

Here's how you can implement this:

1. Add functions for subscribing to these events

If you are using the RibbonLib you can use these functions to subscribe to the event: RBNEventSubscribe.If you aren't using the RibbonLib, you can add this function to your module and call it here:

'---------------------------------Function RBNEventSubscribe(	  ByVal nEventType As Integer						, ByVal sMBXHandler As String						) As LogicalDim	bWasSubscribed As LogicalOnError GoTo ErrorOccuredRBNEventSubscribe = FALSE	bWasSubscribed 	= MIEventsSubscribe(theMapInfoEvents, nEventType, sMBXHandler)	RBNEventSubscribe	= bWasSubscribed	Exit Function'-------------------------ErrorOccured:	Note Err() & " " & Error$() & ": RBNEventSubscribe"End Function

2. Define a couple of .NET types to work with the .NET instance IMapInfoPro from MapBasic

Besides the actual MapInfo Pro application, you also need the MapBasic App and Event instances. You can define these in your Main procedure but make sure the Dim these as global or modular variables of type This.

Here's the top of my example where you can see the Main procedure and the module variable:

Dim theMapInfoApplication As ThisDim theMapBasicApplication As ThisDim	theMapInfoEvents As This'---------------------------------Sub MainDim	bWasSubscribed As LogicalOnError GoTo ErrorOccured	'--------------------------------	'Get MIPro interface	theMapInfoApplication	= SystemInfo(SYS_INFO_IMAPINFOAPPLICATION)	'Get MapBasic interface	theMapBasicApplication	= MapBasicApplication(theMapInfoApplication, ApplicationName$())	'Get the events for the MapBasic application	theMapInfoEvents		= MIEventsInitEvents(theMapInfoApplication, theMapBasicApplication)

Create Event Procedure

You need a procedure that will get called when the event occurs.

Notice the arguments that are passed to the procedure. In this case, I don't need to use these, but they still have to be defined.

Inside the procedure, I just call another procedure that closes some tables and asks the user if the changes should be saved.

'---------------------------------Sub MENUMapInfoExitingHandler(ByVal args As This)OnError GoTo ErrorOccured	Call MENUCloseTables("MENUMapInfoExitingHandler")	Exit Sub'-------------------------ErrorOccured:	Note Err() & " " & Error$() & ": MENUMapInfoExitingHandler"End Sub

Subscribing to the Event

The final step is to subscribe to the event.

	If NOT RBNEventSubscribe(AddInEvents_MapInfoProExiting, "MENUMapInfoExitingHandler") Then		Print "MENUMapInfoExitingHandler was not subscribed!"	End If

Unsubsribe to the event when application is shut down

You should also ensure that you unsubscribe to the event, when your application is unloaded from MapInfo Pro.

Notice that the Endhandler also calls the same produce that is been called when MapInfo Pro is been shut down.

Again, the 

'---------------------------------Sub EndHandlerOnError GoTo ErrorOccured	Call MENUCloseTables("EndHandler")	If NOT RBNEventUnsubscribe(AddInEvents_MapInfoProExiting, "MENUMapInfoExitingHandler") Then		Print "MENUMapInfoExitingHandler was not unsubscribed!"	End If	Exit Sub'-------------------------ErrorOccured:	Note Err() & " " & Error$() & ": EndHandler"End Sub

Again, the RBNEventUnsubscribe is part of the RibbonLib or you can add it to your module.

'---------------------------------Function RBNEventUnsubscribe(	  ByVal nEventType As Integer						, ByVal sMBXHandler As String						) As LogicalDim	bWasUnsubscribed As LogicalOnError GoTo ErrorOccuredRBNEventUnsubscribe = FALSE	bWasUnsubscribed	= MIEventsUnSubscribe(theMapInfoEvents, nEventType, sMBXHandler)	RBNEventUnsubscribe = bWasUnsubscribed	Exit Function'-------------------------ErrorOccured:	Note Err() & " " & Error$() & ": RBNEventUnsubscribe"End Function

I have also attached the small sample application I built to prove that this works.

Ok .Thanks

You are right. This is not what I would have expected.

It seems when MapInfo Pro is shutting down, it will check for unsaved edits before executing any EndHandlers in running MapBasic applications.

I tested this with the attached very basic MapBasic application.

I'd suggest you raise this issue with our support team (support@precisely.com) to get it investigated and potentially fixed. Feel free to also refer back to this thread.

Thanks

Yes, the handler code is executed but before I get the dialog box to save changes

Hmm, what happens if you close your app?

Does the EndHandler get called in that case?

I have placed the code in the handler but the default dialog window is launched before my message

I refer back to my first response: Add an EndHandler procedure to your source code. This procedure will be called when the application is ending.

Declare Sub EndHandlerSub EndHandlerDim nTab As IntegerFor nTab = 1 To NumTables()  If TableInfo(nTab, TAB_INFO_EDITED) Then    '**This table has unsaved changes. Let's save those changes    Commit Table TableInfo(nTab, TAB_INFO_NAME)  End IfNextEnd Sub

But in my source code, where do I have to place that code so that it is executed when the X button to close MAPINFO is pressed?

You can do something along these lines:

Dim nTab As IntegerFor nTab = 1 To NumTables()  If TableInfo(nTab, TAB_INFO_EDITED) Then    '**This table has unsaved changes. Let's save those changes    Commit Table TableInfo(nTab, TAB_INFO_NAME)  End IfNext

This will loop over all the tables, check if they have unsaved changes, and then save these. You may want to ask the user if she wants to save these or discard the changes.

How can I check from the code if there are changes, when the user presses the X close button and go ahead to that dialog window?

Thanks

Hi Mayca

The first dialog appears because there are unsaved changes in your workspace. You may be able to avoid this by closing all at not including the Interactive keyword:

Close All

This depends on what you are doing and if you want to give your user a chance to save the workspace.

The second dialog appears because there are unsaved changes to a linked database table. That's a MapInfo table that is linked to a table in a database. That's why you have the option to save the changes locally or push them to the database.

To avoid this dialog from appearing, you have to loop through the open tables and see if any of them have unsaved changes. If that's the case. You can either undo these

Rollback Table sTab

or save them

Commit Table sTab

You can of course combine the loop with a dialog asking the user if they want to save to rollback the changes.

Hello. I refer to these dialogues. I want the first one not to appear. And in the second window the option (Save changes to MapInfo table) does not appear.

Thanks. 

Happy new year!!!

When your application is "ending"/is been shut down, MapInfo Pro will call the EndHandler procedure of the application - if it has one.

In the EndHandler, you can do all sorts of things such as saving your tables, saving your workspace, writing settings to a configuration file, deleting temp files, and more.

Here is an example:

Sub EndHandler  'Saving changes to a table and closing the temporary table  Commit Table TableWithMyWork  Close Table TempData     '**Call EndHandler of the RibbonLib to remove controls from Ribbon  Call RBNEndHandlerEnd Sub

I hope this helps

Hello. How can I save my workspace automatically with mapbasic source code when I close the application and thus avoid the Message if I want to save? thank you
