Setting HTML as Preferred GetFeatureInfo Format - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

You can specify that the preferred format for GetFeatureInfo is HTML, provided the format is supported by the server. MapInfo Pro will launch the returned HTML data using the default Browser on your system. This data is formatted by the server in a manner that may be easier to read compared to the data in the Info tool.

MapBasic Syntax

You must enter a MapBasic command in the MapBasic window after the WMS table is created to specify that HTML is the preferred format when using the Info tool.

Set Table tablename Info Tool Prefer HTML { On | Off }

Specify On to make the preferred format HTML. Specify Off to return the default behavior.

This command will change the XML associated with the .TAB file for this WMS server. This is a one time task as long as you continue to use the file.
