How to trigger a click event within search widget?

YiqunChen

Hi,

I wrote a function before which is to check whether a point where a user clicks intersects with a layer, like:

view.on("click", function(event)

{

   ... //my handling of the event inside

queryEarthquakeLayer(event).then(function(y)

...

}

I recently added a search widget so that a user can type in the coordinates/address. How to mimic a mouse

click event inside the function handling the returned results from search:

search.on('search-complete', function(result){

...

//how to trigger a click event here so that I can use my previous function directly by just

//feeding the click event?

}

I found this in our community but it doesn't work:

map.emit('click', {mapPoint: new esri.geometry.Point(myLong,myLat, esri.SpatialReference({wkid:102100}))

Any idea? Thank you!

Hi Robert,

I am trying to do the same to emit click event on search-complete event of search widget. I am using JS 4.16 API. But its not working for me. I am not getting an error.

 

search.on('search-complete', function(event){
				let lat, longt;
			    if(event.results[0].results[0].feature.geometry.type == 'point') {
			        lat = event.results[0].results[0].feature.geometry.latitude;
			        longt = event.results[0].results[0].feature.geometry.longitude;
			    } else if(event.results[0].results[0].feature.geometry.type == 'polygon') {
			        lat = event.results[0].results[0].feature.geometry.centroid.latitude;
			        longt = event.results[0].results[0].feature.geometry.centroid.longitude;
			    }		
			   let pointVar = new Point({
			        latitude:lat,
			        longitude:longt
			    });
				var scrPt = view.toScreen(pointVar);
				view.emit("click", {bubbles: true, cancelable: true,mapPoint: pointVar,screenPoint: scrPt});
			});
