Huh - interesting, thanks for the tip! I was just coming back here to say I got it to work by floating the window then docking it again. Strange behaviour! ------------------------------ Ryan Cook ORH LTD ------------------------------

Can't Copy Contents of Message Window

I have written a program in MapBasic which, at the end of it's process runs a series of checks and calculations the results of which it Prints to the Message Window for the users pleasure. The intention was that this information could, if required, be shared by copying and pasting into an email, or Excel, ...

Apologies for the late reply, Peter - I have been on holiday and the reminders of this thread were pushed down the queue in my inbox. Thanks for taking a look at this. The "unsupported character set: UTF-16" error still persists (but I have found a workaround) but the odd comma problem has vanished mysteriously. ...

I could be going mad, or becoming incompetent in my old age, but it seems ever since the recent update I have been experiencing problems I have never come across before.  The first problem I encountered was where I exported some tables to MIF to share with our client. To check if the exports were ...

James - I tried entirely/partially assigning the statement to string variables and it still failed. Note, it works perfectly as intended when left as a normal query statement but I'll whack a note in there to see what is coming out it when Run Command is applied.  Peter - Thanks for the tips - I'm ...

Hey James, thanks for your help and for tolerating the change to my initial post - I manged to get the OgreTab query to work but the above one still eludes me, and sadly the triple quote doesn't change the outcome. I still receive the same error: Found [=] while searching for [a string constant] ...

Variables in a Run Command String (Queries not saving to workspaces)

A number of tools I have created help users develop workspace files with maps providing visual information based upon queries. When the workspace is closed and re-opened, these queries have vanished and the important information is lost. Ticking "save queries in workspaces" under preferences makes no ...

So I have been merging your code into mine and I have got it to work...ish. Below is the result when I run my program on some simple test tables: Regions and Nodes: Regions in RED.  Region 1 (left) has 7 points within it, thus passes the 'voronoi test' and is processed normally.  Region 2 (right) ...

Gotcha - MapInfo is running the same code for both instances and there is a protection there for when there are no extents other than what MapInfo creates itself using a convex hull. It's sunk in now! Seems like an easy fix for MapInfo to make for future versions.  ------------------------------ ...

Thanks Peter, your revisions are sensible and cut out some of the lumbering around I was doing to achieve the same thing! I will look to incorporate your cutting idea into my code and let you know how it goes.  I think you misunderstand me about the Set Target point. I know that we need to Set Target ...

Hi Peter, thanks for your answer and code - I will take a look in more detail shortly. Currently my code simply uses an IF statement condition of SelectionInfo(SEL_INFO_NROWS) >=3 to either proceed with the voronoi function or skip it for that region (and thus avoiding MapInfo breaking). I'm marking ...

Voronoi with less than 3 points

Posted By Ryan Cook 12-07-2022 05:38
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hello. I am confused as to why a region cannot be divided into voronois using less than 3 points. A single point should return a copy of the region, while two points should comfortably divide the region into two. When running the voronoi function as part of a loop within a program that works through ...

Ha, I knew it would be something simple! I was suffering from a brain block - I tried double quotes, triple quotes, square brackets, apostrophes... I just couldn't figure out how to get Mapinfo to understand that Tabz was a variable!  Thanks Peter, that's the second time you have rescued me. - ...

Sorry, I just can't figure this one out - it seems such a simple thing but I'm getting nowhere.  I am writing a program that begins by prompting the user to choose a table from those that are open and I have restricted the options by dominant object type (the table should always be point geometry). ...

Any reason the solution cannot be shared here? Otherwise what is the purpose of a forum if the solution is "email somebody else about it?" ------------------------------ Ryan Cook Knowledge Community Shared Account ------------------------------
