How RBNMapMTBAddControl works MAPBASIC

  • 1.  How RBNMapMTBAddControl works MAPBASIC

    Posted 02-20-2024 03:30

    Hi.

     I want to customize the mini map toolbar with Mapbasic.

    Can you show me an example?

     I have seen there that there is a RBNMapMTBAddControl function but I don't know how to use it.

    Thanks

    Hi

    I have used this to add two buttons to the Map Mini Toolbar that didn't exist back in pre-version 17.0:

    'First add a stackpanel to the Map Mini Toolbar
nCtrlIdx = RBNMapMTBInsertStackPanelAfter("stpWindowHelper", "Info", "MapTools2")
If nCtrlIdx > 0 Then
	Call RBNControlSetLeftMarginIdx(nCtrlIdx, 0)

	'Then add the controls that stackpanel - first control
	nCtrlIdx	= RBNMapMTBStackPanelAddControl("stptbtInfoTool", "", "", ControlType_ToolButton, "stpWindowHelper")
	If nCtrlIdx > 0 Then
		Call RBNControlSetToolTipIdx(nCtrlIdx, PRGIGetApplicationName(), GetResItemStr("STR_TTIP_INFO_TOOL"), "")
		Call RBNControlSetIconsIdx(nCtrlIdx, CONTROL_SIZE_SMALL, MI_IMG_MAP_INFOTOOL_16, "")
		Call RBNControlSetCmdIDIdx(nCtrlIdx, 1707)
	End If

	'Then add the controls to that stackpanel - second control
	nCtrlIdx	= RBNMapMTBStackPanelAddControl("stptbtRuler", "", "", ControlType_ToolButton, "stpWindowHelper")
	If nCtrlIdx > 0 Then
		Call RBNControlSetToolTipIdx(nCtrlIdx, PRGIGetApplicationName(), GetResItemStr("STR_TTIP_RULER_TOOL"), "")
		Call RBNControlSetIconsIdx(nCtrlIdx, CONTROL_SIZE_SMALL, MI_IMG_WIN_RULER_16, "")
		Call RBNControlSetCmdIDIdx(nCtrlIdx, 1710)
	End If
End If

    I hope this helps

    Ok I'll do tests

    Another question.

    I have this button that I want to insert a point into the map and launch the POINT function after drawing the point. How do I do it? The thing is that with this code the function is launched before the point is drawn

    btnPunto = MICtrlCollAddStrStrInt(EielControlCol2, "Visualizar", "Ver", 1)
Call SetRbnBtnCtrlCmdID(btnPunto, M_TOOLS_POINT)
Call SetRbnBtnCtrlCallingHandler(btnPunto, "Punto")
Call SetRbnBtnCtrlSmallIcon(btnPunto, New_Uri("pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Layout/symbol_32x32.png", 0))

Sub Punto
OnError GoTo etiquetaError
        If WindowInfo(FrontWindow(),WIN_INFO_TYPE)<>WIN_MAPPER Then
                Note "Esta herramienta solo puede ser utilizada en una ventana de mapa."
                Exit Sub
        End if
        Dim intLayer as Integer
        intLayer=MapperInfo(FrontWindow(),MAPPER_INFO_EDIT_LAYER)
        If intLayer=-1 then
                Note "Esta herramienta solo puede ser utilizada sobre una capa editable."
                Exit sub
        End If
        Dim strLayer as String
        strLayer=LayerInfo(FrontWindow(),intLayer,LAYER_INFO_NAME)
        print "dddd"+CommandInfo(CMD_INFO_X)
        If gblDUPLICAR=True Then
                Dim objCustom As Object
                Create Point Into Variable objCustom (CommandInfo(CMD_INFO_X),CommandInfo(CMD_INFO_Y))
               
                Call Duplicate(strLayer)
                Call Replicate(strLayer,objCustom)
                Close Table OBJAUX
                Run Menu Command ID 10
        Else
                Call Mostrar
                Run Menu Command M_TOOLS_SELECTOR
        End If
Exit Sub
etiquetaError:
    Note "ERROR : " +  Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) + Error$()
End Sub

    Hi

    Yeah, you'll need to create a custom tool to achieve this.

    This requires 2 changes to your code above.

    1. You'll have to specify the button to be a ToolButton and set a DrawMode for it too. Note that I have switched to other methods (SetRbnToolBtn...) now that I'm creating a ToolButton and not a PushButton.

    btnPunto = MICtrlCollAddStrStrInt(EielControlCol2, "Visualizar", "Ver", ControlType_ToolButton) 'ControlTypes are defined in Enums.def
Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlDrawMode(btnPunto, DM_CUSTOM_POINT) 'DrawModes are define din Icons.def
Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlCallingHandler(btnPunto, "Punto")
Call SetRbnToolBtnCtrlSmallIcon(btnPunto, New_Uri("pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Layout/symbol_32x32.png", 0))

    2. You'll have to get the coordinate and create the point yourself in the procedure called by the tool.

    Sub Punto
Dim fX, fY As Float
OnError GoTo etiquetaError
   If WindowInfo(FrontWindow(),WIN_INFO_TYPE)<>WIN_MAPPER Then
      Note "Esta herramienta solo puede ser utilizada en una ventana de mapa."
      Exit Sub
   End if

   '**Let's set the coordsys to match the map 
   '**and then grab the coordinates where the user clicked
   Set CoordSys Window FrontWindow()
   fX = CommandInfo(CMD_INFO_X)
   fY = CommandInfo(CMD_INFO_Y)

   Dim intLayer as Integer
   intLayer=MapperInfo(FrontWindow(),MAPPER_INFO_EDIT_LAYER)
   If intLayer=-1 then
      Note "Esta herramienta solo puede ser utilizada sobre una capa editable."
      Exit sub
   End If
   Dim strLayer as String
   strLayer=LayerInfo(FrontWindow(),intLayer,LAYER_INFO_NAME)
   print "dddd"+fX
   If gblDUPLICAR=True Then
      Dim objCustom As Object
      Create Point Into Variable objCustom (fX,fY)
               
      Call Duplicate(strLayer)
      Call Replicate(strLayer,objCustom)
      Close Table OBJAUX
      Run Menu Command ID 10
   Else
      Call Mostrar
      Run Menu Command M_TOOLS_SELECTOR
   End If
   Exit Sub
etiquetaError:
   Note "ERROR : " +  Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) + Error$()
End Sub

    I didn't change much here. I set the coordsys and store the coordinates where the user clicked into two variables.

    Perfect, now it works.

    Is there a manual that indicates all the functions that can be defined in mapinfo?

    For example DM_CUSTOM_POINT draws a point, now I want to know the function to draw a rectangle or move function....?

    And for the icons ?

    Thanks

    Hi

    Icons.def holds the various DrawModes:

    define DM_CUSTOM_CIRCLE     30
define DM_CUSTOM_ELLIPSE    31
define DM_CUSTOM_RECT       32
define DM_CUSTOM_LINE       33
define DM_CUSTOM_POINT      34
define DM_CUSTOM_POLYGON    35
define DM_CUSTOM_POLYLINE   36

    Most of them return coordinates that you access via CommandInfo. DM_CUSTOM_POLYGON and DM_CUSTOM_POLYLINE return spatial objects which you also access through CommandInfo. 

    You can also assign different cursors to your tools if you want. They are also defined in Icons.def. These are just some of them:

    define MI_CURSOR_ARROW           0
define MI_CURSOR_IBEAM           1
define MI_CURSOR_CROSS           2
define MI_CURSOR_PLUS            3
define MI_CURSOR_WAIT            4
define MI_CURSOR_FINGER_LEFT     128
define MI_CURSOR_ZOOM_IN         129
define MI_CURSOR_ZOOM_OUT        130
define MI_CURSOR_DRAG_OBJ        131
define MI_CURSOR_GRABBER         132
define MI_CURSOR_CHANGE_WIDTH    133
define MI_CURSOR_FINGER_UP       134
define MI_CURSOR_IBEAM_CROSS     135
define MI_CURSOR_HELP            137
define MI_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR       138
define MI_CURSOR_NODROP          139
define MI_CURSOR_DRAG_LAYER      140
define MI_CURSOR_DRAG_LAYERS     141
define MI_CURSOR_BEGIN_DRAGNDROP 142
define MI_CURSOR_DOING_DRAGNDROP 143
define MI_CURSOR_DRAGNDROP_COPY  144
define MI_CURSOR_DRAGNDROP_LINK  145
define MI_CURSOR_DRAGNDROP_MOVE  146
define MI_CURSOR_DRAGNDROP_NONE  147
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_N   148
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_NE  149
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_E   150
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_SE  151
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_S   152
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_SW  153
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_W   154
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_NW  155
define MI_CURSOR_MOUSESCROLL_CTR 156
define MI_CURSOR_SIZE_NESW       157
define MI_CURSOR_SIZE_NS         158
define MI_CURSOR_SIZE_NWSE       159 
define MI_CURSOR_SIZE_WE         160
define MI_CURSOR_MOVE            161
define MI_CURSOR_ACT_HAND        162
define MI_CURSOR_ACT_HAND2       163
define MI_CURSOR_LRG_CROSSHAIR   164
define MI_CURSOR_TINY_CROSSHAIR  165
define MI_CURSOR_ADORNMENT       166
define MI_CURSOR_ADORNMENT_MOVE  167

    Similarly, all the icons that you see in MapInfo Pro can be used in your tool. They are defined in RibbonControls.def. Again, this is just a small portion:

    Define MI_IMG_APP_CLOSEALL_16                         "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/closeAll_16x16.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_CLOSEALL_32                         "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/closeAll_32x32.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_CLOSEDBMS_16                        "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/closeDbms_16x16.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_CLOSEDBMS_32                        "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/closeDbms_32x32.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_IMPORT_16                           "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/import_16x16.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_IMPORT_32                           "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/import_32x32.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_OPENDBMS_16                         "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/openDbms_16x16.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_OPENDBMS_32                         "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/openDbms_32x32.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_OPENUNIVERSAL_16                    "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/openUniversal_16x16.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_OPENUNIVERSAL_32                    "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/openUniversal_32x32.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_OPENWFS_16                          "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/openWfs_16x16.png"

Define MI_IMG_APP_OPENWMS_16                          "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/openWms_16x16.png"
Define MI_IMG_APP_OPENWMS_32                          "pack://application:,,,/MapInfo.StyleResources;component/Images/Application/openWms_32x32.png"

    One question, is there a guide that indicates what each action in the MENU.DEF file does? Because, for example, I'm looking for the preview or change view function and I don't know which one corresponds.

    Hi

    Most of the Draw Modes return one or two coordinate sets. Only the two draw modes DM_CUSTOM_POLYGON and DM_CUSTOM_POLYLINE return actual objects.

    For the others, you need to grab the coordinates of the location(s) where the user clicked or pushed down/released the mouse buttons.

    From these coordinates, you can then calculate your action or object.

    You can find a number of the different draw modes used in the DrawTools adding, especially in the DrawTools.mb file.

    Sorry Mayca

    I can't decipher the error without seeing your code so that I know what command fails to get compiled.

    I wonder if the problem is caused by the use of the function PRGIGetApplicationName() and GetResItemStr().

    Can you try to replace that function, and the fixed value you pass to the function with a single fixed string? Something like replacing this:

    Call RBNControlSetToolTipIdx(nCtrlIdx, PRGIGetApplicationName(), GetResItemStr("STR_TTIP_INFO_TOOL"), "")

    with this:

    Call RBNControlSetToolTipIdx(nCtrlIdx, "My Tool", "Info Tool", "")

    Also, you are using the RIBBONLib but it seems you have included that in your source code too.

    Let us know
