RE: Possible bug with 'Shade' statement with MI v12.5 and higher?

Hi Peter, your script works in 15.0.1, as it does when running the Shade statement from the MapBasic window. Mine is pretty much identical to yours (see my first post), and I have also tried running this without the run command but still the same result. Ive now altered the code in the main program ...

Hi Peter! I didnt even even think of the possibility of this being down to preferences but that could explain the difference between the two MapInfos. Ive toggled the Draw Layers Under Themes switch on and off (was off to start with - and restarted MapInfo each time) but unfortunately this hasnt made ...

Hi all,   not sure if 32-bit issues are still going to be looked in to, but for my peace of mind at least... Long story short, the following Shade statement is dynamically built up as a string and then executed as a run command: Shade triangles with colcode Values 1 Brush (1, 16711680) Pen ...

MapBasic Window MI Pro 16.0.2 (release build 205)

I was trying to run a simple command from the MapBasic window, the relevant section in the Help manual (Issuing Commands through the MapBasic Window) wrongly states that to execute a command you hit Enter. I finally worked out that it is in fact Ctrl + Enter

Hi, sounds good to me, thanks. If you want me to run any more tests let me know. Here some version information: MapInfo Pro v15.0.1 (though we will only ship the database-enabled application with v17) and PostgreSQL v9.5. PostgreSQL 32-bit ANSI v8.04.02.00 driver. Alex

Hi John,   just spent a bit of time playing around with this. In order to replicate the working environment, I have performed these tests via MapBasic scripts compiled to .mbx and then run, as opposed to doing everything from the MapBasic window in MapInfo. If I leave my driver settings as they ...

Hi John, many thanks for this, Id only looked at the driver settings within MapInfo/EasyLoader and not the control panel. The thing I said about the workaround was just that if you simply upload a table to the database, the logical column is converted to char(1), but the actual values are lost, ...

Hi Peter,   Re multi-user, thanks for pointing that out! Not sure if I would have thought of that in time and could have caused some problems down the line. Sending the comma separated string didnt seem like a very clean way of doing it and as you point out would have failed if it becomes too ...

actually I think I just worked this one out: Ill create an empty table in the database, open it locally, then insert the records from Item_Refs_To_Copy, at which point I can save the local table which will be reflected in the database, so I can make Select Where In statements

Im developing a PostgreSQL/PostGIS backend for a MapInfo application. One of the procedures available to users is to select items on the map (from a table `orders` stored in the database) and then copy the selected items in to a different table (`proposed_order` - also stored in the database). In the ...
