A simple map viewer, full source and exe attached (
building requires MasmBasic 23 Oct 2017 or later). Extract all files to a folder and launch the exe.
To make it run properly, an instance of M$ Excel should be running. In case you don't have Office:
Microsoft's free Excel Viewer works perfectly.
The map viewer example does the following in just under 100 lines of code:
- grab data from an Excel spreadsheet
- translate the data into a colour code, from green=good, yellow=medium to red=bad
- display everything as a map, including tooltips as shown below.
Tested so far on Win7-64 and Win10, grateful for feedback. Hit F1 to see the data as a list.
