From what I read above ESRI does not allow one to create standalone Python applications using the built-in Python GUI (TKinter)? if there a reason for this? Could I use the PyQt5 library to do this instead? Jupiter is great for developing the code in realtime but does not offer the ability to create a standalone interface for a desktop application. My goal is to create a GUI that is specific to a project which taps into ESRI File Geodatabases to make querying and finding information alot faster and easier for the user who is not familiar with ArcMap or ArcPro but also offers the ability to visually see the results. I do understand ESRI has AppStudio, however, I find the licensing and the whole application development process (inclusive of another coding language) very confusing and would much rather stick to something that is easier and less of a hassle to understand such as Python since Python is so versatile. Also, I do not have a need to store my data on the ArcOnline platform, which can also be very costly (240 credits per 1GB of data stored which is about $24/month!!). Whereas I can just build right off my desktop which is $0. Is there any alternative to this? I am eager to start my project. ... View more

Hi Robert, I was just curious as to the best way to handle the results. I am noticing that when my results come in they are not coming in, in the same order they are being queried. Would I use Dojo/Memory module to handle this? Ie. Save it to memory first then process it with some other information so it remains in the same order? thanks for the help! ... View more

Robert, Thanks again. This has been a lot of help getting to know WAB. I actually found an article (Link to other post here) that had some code that was similar to what I need to do and have been modifying that. You have been an invaluable resource on GeoNet. Thank you for taking the time to help me and others out on here. It is greatly appreciated, especially while trying to learn WAB. Thanks! ... View more

Hi Robert, thanks again for the much needed help. I am fairly new to WAB and development of customized widgets. I was trying to track down some documentation on the dijit/drawBox but was unable to find anything. None-the-less, I was able to get the drawBox to work and was able to draw on the screen. One of the issues I am having is being able to default the drawBox to "EXTENT" and where to do this and how to call it appropriately. Additionally, I was wondering where I would activate the tool automatically when the custom widget icon is clicked? Would I do this in: 1. postCreate? 2. onOpen? 3. onActive? Also would I hook this to the icon-node from the controller with an event? Thanks again for the help! It is very appreciated especially the timely responses. ... View more

Robert,  My apologies. What I meant was a comparison using the following: 1. 'jimu/dijit/FeatureSetChooserForMultipleLayers' this.selectDijit = new FeatureSetChooserForMultipleLayers({ map: this.map, updateSelection: true, fullyWithin: 'wholly', geoTypes: ['EXTENT'] }); This gives me the selection tool which can select multiple layers or so I think... correct me if I am wrong. VS 2.  "esri/toolbars/draw" _initToolbar: function() {    toolBar = new Draw(this.map);    toolBar.on("draw-end", addGraphic);    // event delegation so a click handler is not    // needed for each individual button    on(dom.byId("info"), "click", function(evt) {    if (evt.target.id === "info") {    return; } var tool = evt.target.id.toLowerCase(); this.map.disableMapNavigation(); toolBar.activate(tool); }); }, addGraphic: function(evt){    //deactivate the toolbar and clear existing graphics    toolBar.deavtivate();    this.map.enableMapNavigation();     // assigns a symbol to extent or polygon    var symbol;    if (evt.geometry.type === "EXTENT" || evt.geometry.type === "polygon") {    symbol = fillSymbol;    }    this.map.graphics.add(new Graphic(evt.geometry, symbol)); } I will try to build my custom widget using the draw method. I was hoping to get away from clicking for options to draw. I just want to click on my widget, make my selection and have the results populate my table. ... View more

Hi Robert,    Thanks for the response. This is extremely helpful.   Do you think the jimu drawBox dijit would be better to use than the jimu selectDigit to make selections from the map?   Thanks in advance,   Ryan ... View more
