How can i save a personal topic and its subtopics as a map part programmatically?
Discussion Open
My interest is using many times a topic and its subtopics, and therefore is very important to save it as a map part; but i want to do this programmatically.
Could some expert kindly help me?
thanks in advance
Hello Luis
This can be done but is not very robust. I have been able to make this work but the map parts generated are not editable in some versions of MindManager, so it contains flaws. A map part is a special case of a MindManager map, where the text in the central topic is the map part name, there is only one Main Topic (which is the root topic of the Map Part), and there is no theme or style information. You can see this if you open a map part for editing. However, Floating Topic collections can now be saved as Map Parts, but I don't know how this is encoded in a map part file.
To save a map part programmatically I did the following:
This produces files that can be inserted as map parts but as mentioned I have had difficulty editing them in some versions of MindManager, so there is something not quite right. There may be other things that I have not included such as correctly setting up the map marker collections. I would welcome any other insights or improvements.
