Thanks Peter. Yes, you are right.  If I only run a print statement every update it does appear to 'free up' MapInfo so that I can use the UI. ------------------------------ Ben Kleywegt Insight GIS ------------------------------

Hello, I have been developing with MapBasic and .NET for a little while now and have frequently come across the issue that interfacing between MapInfo and .NET through a different thread than the main thread will cause MapInfo to crash. For example, .NET events will run their event handlers on ...

Hello, Just wondering if it is possible to customize the user interface of a MapInfo extension e.g. move a command icon from the legacy tab to the map mini toolbar, not through code, but within MapInfo via the Customize Ribbon dialog? If anyone has a code sample of adding a command to the map mini ...
