minimize widget after getting results

PeterHoffman

I am looking for a way to automatically minimize a widget after clicking
on a button in a custom locate widget.
The user wants to locate an item and then automatically minimize the widget.
I have searched but not found any code that would do this.

No, I am not a developer, I am not supposed to be even doing any programming according to my job title but I do anyhow to get the job done.
I did try typing in the import com.esri.viewer. and did not get the intellisense to show me ViewContainer as an option.

The minimize feature works great!

Thanks for your help again.

Peter,

I keep forgetting your not a developer:

Add this import at the top with the others

import com.esri.viewer.ViewerContainer;

PeterHoffman

Now I get:
1120: Access of undefined property ViewerContainer. FindClosestWidget.mxml /SuffolkSheltersEric/src/widgets/Locate line 598 Flex Problem

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Peter,

Yep that code is for Flex Viewer 2.5 not 2.2. Try this line instead

ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.WIDGET_CHANGE_STATE, data2));

PeterHoffman

Robert,

Thnaks for the quick replys.

Now I get this error message:

Multiple markers at this line:
-1061: Call to a possibly undefined method dispatch through a reference with static type Class.

Line of code:
AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_CHANGE_STATE, data2);

Peter,

OK, So you just need to put the comment code I provided in the last function that gets called. Maybe queryStormSurgeResult (not sure without seeing the whole code).

PeterHoffman

Robert,

The code I have has been highly modified by a consultant and this is the closest I could find to the showLocation function I have,
it is passing in a data of type array and not object.

Website: http://gis.co.suffolk.ny.us/shelters4/index.html and widget is the "Find Closest Shelter".

function locateResult(data:Array, token:Object = null):void
    {
     if (data.length > 0)
     {
      var addrCandidate:AddressCandidate = data[0];

      locPoint = addrCandidate.location;
      locationGraphicsLayer.add(new Graphic(locPoint, pmsLocation));

      map.centerAt(locPoint);
      while(map.scale > 50000)
      {
       map.zoomIn();
      }

      gButtons.visible = true;
      gFacilities.visible = true;

      qryStormSurge.geometry = locPoint as Geometry;
      qryStormSurge.spatialRelationship = Query.SPATIAL_REL_INTERSECTS;

      qtStormSurgeTask.execute(qryStormSurge, new AsyncResponder(queryStormSurgeResult, genericError));

     }
     else
     {
      showMessage("Could not locate an address using on the Street, City, and Zip values.", false);
     }
    }

Peter,

Sure just dispatch the right AppEvent:

This code goes in the LocateWidget.mxml

Add this Import:

import com.esri.viewer.AppEvent;

            private function showLocation(data:Object):void
            {
                hideInfoWindow();
                graphicsLayer.clear();

                var ptGraphic:Graphic = new Graphic();
                ptGraphic.geometry = data.point;
                graphicsLayer.add(ptGraphic);

                var popUpInfo:PopUpInfo = new PopUpInfo();
                popUpInfo.title = data.title;
                popUpInfo.description = data.content;

                var infoWindowRenderer:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(PopUpRenderer);
                infoWindowRenderer.properties = { popUpInfo: popUpInfo };
                graphicsLayer.infoWindowRenderer = infoWindowRenderer;

                popUpRenderer.popUpInfo = popUpInfo;
                popUpRenderer.graphic = ptGraphic;

                if (map.scale > zoomScale)
                {
                    map.scale = zoomScale;
                }
                map.centerAt(data.point);

                infoWindowShow();
//Added Code
                var data:Object = {
                    id: widgetId,
                    state: "minimized"
                }
                AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.WIDGET_CHANGE_STATE, data);
//End Added Code
            }
