How can I change the selection color

[ISABELLA zhou]

Hi,

I am new in Mapinfo, sorry for asking too simple questions...

Started with a map, I run SQL select, then some object on map has been
selected. After that, I change the layer to editable and change the
color in Option-> Region Style to another color. But the result is, I
changed color of every object...

So can anyone tell me, how can I change the color just for selected
object?

Many thanks....

Isabella

Also, I want to add label to selected objects, so I added layer selection (when I run sql, the selected data is insert into selection) and check label, the result is all the object in map has been labeled.

Can any one help me on this?

Many thanks

Hi,

Sorry, I still don't get it, where can I "add map"?

Thanks a lot

Isabella,

I'm puzzled by the behavior you describe, such that all objects respond similarly.

My first thought is that all the objects are somehow linked.  You might try OBJECTS-> Disaggregate from the pulldown menu.  (And, as always, first save a copy of your table and work on that as you conduct the experiments.)

For example, using a cutter often creates a family of polygons that really are still one object in MapInfo.  Disaggregating them assigns separate status to each polygon.

Then you would proceed as you first described, which is to select that objects that deserve distinct colors and then (from pulldown menu), OPTIONS->Region Style.

Actually , the problem is that you have to add your selection to the map as if it were a separate layer. If we fill out the SQL comamnd completely, this may be more obvious. So let's not use the default name of "Selection". Let's say your table contains data about a tribe of ring-tailed lemurs, and you want to select 3 individuals known to you as Moe, Larry and Curley. So instead of using the minimal SQL of:

SELECT * FROM LeapingLemurs WHERE Name IN ("Moe", "Larry", "Curley")

use the full expression:

SELECT * FROM LeapingLemurs WHERE Name IN ("Moe", "Larry", "Curley") INTO Stooges

Now, the new temporary table Stooges is still a subset of LeapingLeamurs just like Select was, but now it's a little more obvious that you need to add the subset table, Stooges, as a  layer to the map and make that layer editable to  change  those records. Because it's a subset and still connected to the original table, LeapingLemurs, changes made to Stooges will also be made to LeaapingLemurs.

Hi.

Thank you sooo much for the reply,  I believe the problem is the map itself. Since when I tried same process, the result is fine.

I have tried unaggregate, but still can not solve the problem
