/* MapInfo Products Knowledge Base Product: MapX Version: 4.5 Platform: Win9xNT0 Category: VC++ Code Samples Summary: Creating a new table in Visual C++. Question: Is there a C++ code example for how to create a new table? Answer: Below is an example of how to create a new layer with MapX 4.5 and C++: */ //Create a new Fields Object CMapXFields Flds; Flds.CreateDispatch(Flds.GetClsid()); //Create the field definitions for the new layer. For example: //First field is a string, second is an integer, last is a date Flds.AddStringField("My String Column", 50); Flds.AddIntegerField("My Integer Field"); Flds.AddDateField("My Date Field"); //Create a variant that points to the fields collection just created VARIANT vFlds; vFlds.vt = VT_DISPATCH; vFlds.pdispVal = Flds.m_lpDispatch; //Create a new LayerInfo Object CMapXLayerInfo Linfo; Linfo.CreateDispatch(Linfo.GetClsid()); //Set the Layer Info type to type: New Table Linfo.SetType(miLayerInfoTypeNewTable); //Add the parameters for the new table Linfo.AddParameter("FileSpec", COleVariant("MyTab.tab")); //Tab file Linfo.AddParameter("Name", COleVariant("MyNewLayer")); //Layer name Linfo.AddParameter("Fields", vFlds); //Fields //Add the new layer to the map m_MapX.GetLayers().Add(Linfo.m_lpDispatch);/**/
