Editing using a form.

AmandaHutsel

I am writing an application using the Flex API. For the editing function of the application, I wish to use a form to add records to a feature class in my geodatabase. The user will enter all attributes into the form and click a ???save??? button, this will add a new record to the feature class and automatically geocode the address, adding it to the map. What I???m wanting to know is how I would go about doing this. I cannot find sample code on the ArcGIS resource page or anywhere else online. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find sample code for this or how to go about coding this functionality?

Amanda,

Just go to this url then and grab the whole devsummit2012.zip

Robert,
For some reason I'm not able to download the file.

Amanda,

Try right clicking and choosing save as or save target.

AmandaHutsel

Thanks Robert,

This sounds like exactly what I need. Unfortualy when I click on the CrimeEntryWidget.mxml I get a 404 error.

Amanda,

I have some code available from one of my 2012 Dev summit presentations. Look at CrimeEntryWidget.mxml at the following link for an example of a custom form that creates a feature using data entered by the user and that data contains an address that is geocoded to create the feature.

Thanks for trying to help, but I cannot use the Attribute Inspector because I am not editing points that are already on the map. I want to add new ones by typing the attributes into a form and then the 'SAVE' button will save them to the geodatabase and geocode the new address at the same time.

Amanda,
1 make query from FeatureService (editable)
2 select feature by clicking on grid row
3 selected feature is shown in attribute inspector (attribute inspector is a form developed by ESRI team for editing attributes)

I don't think that the Attribute Inspector will work for me.

If I changed your opinion, see the previous topic "AttributeInspector (with samples)"
Anywhere, good luck.

AmandaHutsel

Ivan,
I don't think that the Attribute Inspector will work for me. They will be adding new records to the database without looking at the map.

AttributeInspector (with samples)

You can skin and its child components (fields).
You can choose editable fields vs readonly fields.
You can create own fields (search in this forum for Date Time field for example)
