OnClick Event on Map Breaks Measurement Widget??

Question

Hello,

I have a map that implements the Identify Task, where a user clicks on a feature and information appears in a datagrid. The problem is that now when I go to measure something using the Measurement Widget, the line being measured does not show up and features are being selected instead of measured. I am sure it has something to do with an OnClick Event, but I am not sure how to differentiate between the two?

Any suggestions would be gretly appreciated!!

[CODEvar measurement = new esri.dijit.Measurement({ 
            map: map 
          }, dojo.byId('measurementDiv')); 
           measurement.startup();   
]

Emily, Here's one approach using the method Jeff suggested above (disable identify when measure tools are active). In the doIdentify function I check to see if any of the measurement tools have been selected. If they are then the identify is not performed. Identify Sample Click the map to identify building and tax information.

Thanks for the reply Jeff. I found this thread and am trying to implement it to possibly solve my problem. http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/42208-toggle-measurement-dijit-(startup-amp-destroy)?highlight=toggle+measure However, the toggle does not seem to be working. var measurement //Create Measurement Tool createMeasure(); function tglMeasurementOff() { measurement.destroy(); } function tglMeasurementOn() { createMeasure(); } function createMeasure(){ measurement = new esri.dijit.Measurement({ map: map }, dojo.create('measure')); dojo.place(measurement.domNode,dojo.byId('measurementDiv')); measurement.startup(); measurement.setTool("distance", true); }

A little light on details, but my guess is that your app has no way to predict which action the user is performing.  It is up to you to code.

More than likely, if a measurement tool is selected, you need to disable you identify onClick.
