onMouseOver & onMouseOut

danbecker

feature layer is added to map. I would like to hover and get basic info, then click and execute onClick identify task.
the hover works great, the popup is displayed and the graphic is cleared onMouseOut, but as soon as the onClick is fired, it immmediately gets replaced by the basic onMouseOver popup.

Im assuming this is becasue my hand isn't steady, onMouseOver -- basic popup, onClick --detailed popup, slight movement onMouseOver --basic popup.

any help?

function init() {

    featlayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer("url",{
            mode:esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,
      //infoTemplate:template,
      id: 'facs',      
            outFields:["*"]
          });
    dojo.connect(featlayer, "onMouseOver", showHoverPopup);
    dojo.connect(featlayer, "onMouseOut", hideHoverPopup);
    dojo.connect(map,"onClick",executeIdentifyTask);
}

    function showHoverPopup(evt){
   map.graphics.enableMouseEvents();
   var infoTemplate = new esri.InfoTemplate();
   infoTemplate.setTitle(evt.graphic.attributes.facil_name);
   infoTemplate.setContent("<b>${facil_name}</b>");
   map.infoWindow.resize(245,125);
   
   var highlightSym = new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_SQUARE, 10,
    new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,
    new dojo.Color([255,0,0]), 1),
    new dojo.Color([0,255,0,0.25]));
   
   evt.graphic.setInfoTemplate(infoTemplate);
   
   var content = evt.graphic.getContent();
   map.infoWindow.setContent(content);
   var title = evt.graphic.getTitle();
   map.infoWindow.setTitle(title);
   highlightGraphic = new esri.Graphic(evt.graphic.geometry,highlightSym);
   map.graphics.add(highlightGraphic);
   map.infoWindow.show(evt.screenPoint,map.getInfoWindowAnchor(evt.screenPoint));
   
   }
  
function hideHoverPopup(evt){
 map.graphics.remove(highlightGraphic);
}

found the problem. I ended up setting up a query task onLoad that fills a graphicsLayer will transparent points. I know this is duplicate data since the feature layer is already loaded/displayed on the map. However, the onMouseOver is hooked to the graphicsLayer and the onClick is hooked to the feat. layer; for me, this allows for easy switching b/t the two.

Identify button enabled
remove graphicsLayer
disconnect graphicsLayer onMouseOver
connect map onClick

Identify button disabled
loop over TOC and check if the layer is visible
add graphicsLayer
connect graphicsLayer onMouseOver
disconnect map onClick
