384.0. "Problem: Map - Filtering" by WIENER::BADER () Fri Oct 05 1990 07:13

    I have the following problem with the Map: if I open a existing domain
    I receive the message " Map Window Message: Filtering occured " , but I
    have no filtering set up and can't find the pull down menu in  the
    Operations menu.

The filtering message means that there were descriptions of entities in your map 
file that were not used in drawing the map because there was no corrresponding
member in the domain.

The message content stinks...agreed.  It sould say something more descriptive
and informative.  It will be fixed.


Our current algorythm (sp) is this:

   Get the list of domain members for this domain

   Look for a map file for this domain

   If no map file
   {
      Create an icon for every member of the list.
      Autoplace icons
      Set the "We've autoplaced" flag.
   }
   Else If we have a map file
   {
      For every member in the list
      {
         Look for it's description in the map file
         If it's not in the map file (it could have been added by the FCL)
             autoplace  it and set the "We've autoplaced" flag.
 
         If it is in the map file, use the map file's desciption for drawing it.
      }
      
       If there are things in the map file that are not in the list set
       the "We've filtered flag"
     
   }   

    If "We've Filtered", tell the user.
    If "We've Autoplaced", tell the user.
