Hide Features in Feature Layers, Return Selected Count Only

KDeVogelaere

Is it possible to query and select hidden point features from a Map using the ArcGIS JS API?

A little background: For security reasons I do not want these point features to display on the map, nor do I want the user to "accidentally" make them visible by changing the CSS properties. The number of point features in a selected area on the Map should be the only thing returned from the query. Any thoughts on where to begin?

Sure you can query features that do not appear on the map using a simple QueryTask.
