Run map basic executable

[shiv]

Hi,
I am a new bee to mapinfo and C++.
I want to run my map basic executable(.MBX) from my visual C++(MFC).
Any pointers towards this??
TIA.

Hi Shiv,

 

How about using ShellExecute?

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the info.
In my understanding Shell will launch another application. But I want to embed MapInfo as an OLE object in my app(MFC)
I am using "mapinfo.Do("Run Application \"C:\project\map.MBX\"")" to run application but its giving empty window.
Is there any other way?
TIA.

I just tested this in VB.net and it works

Dim temp As String

temp =

 

 

"run application" & Chr(34) & "C:\OCG Data\MapInfo Mapbasic\Sector Maker\test.mbx" & Chr(34)

mapinfo.Do(temp)

Hi Glen,

Do I need to set some visibility parameter for MapInfo to make the window visible unlike the normal code where I am simply able to show a map in MapInfo by calling the method from VC++?

P.S: In the above two cases the difference is, One I am just showing the Map and in second trying to run a map basic executable from VC++

Regards

ShIv
