Drag Graphics Point and Drop at New Location

ManishGohil

Hello All,
We have our application developed in .Net using WebADF Map controls.
I need help on how i can implement the "drag graphics point" functionality in our application that built using WebADF.Net controls.
I found that using dojo we can implement drag/drop but i am not able to use dojo with Map control of WebADF.
I also want to know what are the different approach/implementation for drag/drop graphics on Map?
Any help will be appreciated.

In JS api it is very easy to drag and drop a gaphic by invoking a couple of event. Here is the sample page from ESRI, I just change a little bit. Try it youself if you are interested.

Where can I find the original sample code? I couldn't find it in the javascript api samples.

Thanks.

The orignal sample is at: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/demos/graphics/graphics_extent_query.html. I just changed it a liitle bit for Drag and drop purpose.

There's an easier way to do this. I think the code below was originally posted in the old forums but I've hung on to it for a while:

Thanks.

All i have to add to the sample code is the following. So make your own judgement what is best for you.

dojo.connect(map.graphics, "onMouseDown", holdGraphic);
dojo.connect(map, "onMouseDragEnd", releaseGraphic);
.....

function holdGraphic(evt) {
map.disablePan();
theGraphic = evt.graphic;
theGraphic.setSymbol(highlightSymbol);
}
function releaseGraphic(evt) {
theGraphic.geometry = evt.mapPoint;
theGraphic.setSymbol(defaultSymbol);
map.disablePan();
}

Maybe "easier" was the wrong word...

I think seeing the point move as you drag it provides a better user experience.

ManishGohil

Hi guys thanks for the reply.
Using Heming code the drag/drop graphic functionality is working.
But there is one more question i put in the original forum regarding .Net Web ADF,in our application we don't use dojo directly for Map display and for drawing graphics instead we use Web ADF Web control and framework classes to do that.
Can any one answer how can i use dojo in combination with Web ADF to achieve drag/drop? ,because application uses Web ADF extensively

Thanks in advance

Hello guys,
Actually my goal was to achieve this functionality using Web ADF JavaScript not using the ArcGIS JavaScript i.e dojo.
I got success in implementing drag graphics functionality with the real user experience when user dragging the graphics.

I am posting my code here if it help someone :

var mapID = 'Map1';

    // AJAX framework (i.e. either by having been created via $create or explicitly 
    // registered via Sys.Application.addComponent
    map = $find(mapID);

    // map.add_onProgress(customProgress);
    // Show map coordinates in status bar based on cursor location
    map.add_mouseMove(mouseMove);

    map.add_mouseDragCompleted(mouseDragCompleted);
    map.add_mouseDragging(mouseDragging);
    if (drawRouteFlag) {
        drawRoute();
        drawGeometry(geom, "Route");
    }
   
    if (drawstopflag) {
        drawstops();
    }

Hi Bjørn,

Yes, you're right. The "moveable" part disappear when the graphic leaves the visible area, and then enters again. That is probably because the API does some internal optimization(?) when graphics are not visible.

I tried to set the dojo shape moveable on "mouse over" on the graphics layer, and then remove the moveable stuff on "mouse out". But I was never able to remove the moveability of the shape (the only method I found was destroy, but that didn't seem to work). So the graphic just started moving x times faster than the mouse for each time I hovered the graphic.

So I ended up with a similar code as above, but with the graphic moving when the mouse moves. This is probably more CPU-heavy, and the code has some weeknesses (eg. if the mouse up event is never fired due to the mouse moving too fast). But its a starting point.

 dojo.connect(this._glStops, "onMouseDown", this, function (event) {
            this._moveableStop = event.graphic;
            this.map.disableMapNavigation();

            this._moveableStopLink = dojo.connect(this.map, "onMouseDrag", this, function (event) {
                this._moveableStop.setGeometry(event.mapPoint);
            });
        });

        dojo.connect(this._glStops, "onMouseUp", this, function (event) {
            this._moveableStop.setGeometry(event.mapPoint);
            this.map.enableMapNavigation();

            if (this._moveableStopLink) {
                dojo.disconnect(this._moveableStopLink);
                this._moveableStopLink = null;
            }
        });

Good luck with the travel planner.

Hi, everyone!
In my project I've had to implement the drag'n'drop functionality for graphic object using ArcGIS JavaScript API. Probably it will be useful for somebody. It's shown in my blog here - http://dotnetfollower.com/wordpress/2011/07/arcgis-javascript-api-how-to-implement-dragndropping-of-pushpin/
Thanks!

JohnCorrea

Hey nice work on this example. There are some annoying discrepancies that can be easily fixed with an extra variable and a control statement. This will allow the user to go pack to panning after clicking and dragging while also not moving the point when they are off the graphic when actually attempting to pan.

At the top add

var clicked = false;

Then for the holdGraphic and releaseGraphic methods add

function holdGraphic(evt) {
    clicked = true;
    map.disablePan();
    graphic = evt.graphic;
    graphic.setSymbol(dragSymbol);
    }

function releaseGraphic(evt) {
    if (clicked == true) {
    graphic.geometry = evt.mapPoint;
    graphic.setSymbol(symbol);
    map.disablePan();


    /* code here is not relevant
    formPoint = esri.geometry.webMercatorToGeographic(evt.mapPoint);
    document.getElementById("Longitude").value = Math.round(formPoint.x * 100000) / 100000;
    document.getElementById("Latitude").value = Math.round(formPoint.y * 100000) / 100000;
    * /
    }

clicked = false;
map.enablePan();

}

Arrggh, I bookmarked this thread because the demo http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/samples/graphics/graphics_extent_query.html mentioned earlier seemed useful, but that is now 404ing. Anyone know what has happened to it?

Anyone know what has happened to it?

I believe the sample you are referring to is found here: SAMPLE

Hi guys,

Glad to see this thread. Its very informative especially to newbies like me. Can you also help me with my problem? I need to create a Marker graphics with label on it. I understand that to be able to do these, I need to create two graphic object to be added to the map graphic layer. But my problem is i need to place several 'marker' graphics and its corresponding 'text' graphics inside the map. Can you please tell me how to work on this. I badly need your help.
