Ctrl + mouse drag

Question

Hi there,

we set up a map, using a rest service in an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer.

By pressing the Ctrl key while dragging the mouse and let go again, the map sticks to the mouse pointer and a continous panning is being performed It's not possible to cancel the panning. The only way to get out is to load the website again.

I reproduced this in Esri example maps as well, as:

Any clues how to avoid/cancel this pan?

Cheers
Marcello

Hi there,

here the solution (partly taken from a former thread😞

Insert this code into the init() method of your page:         // IE doesn't play nice attaching onkeyup/onkeydown to the window object...
         var key_event_handle = dojo.isIE ? dojo.query('body')[0] : window;
         dojo.connect(key_event_handle, "onkeydown", function(evt) {
          if (evt.ctrlKey || evt.keyCode == 17) {
           map.disablePan();
           map.disableRubberBandZoom();
             }
         });
         dojo.connect(key_event_handle, "onkeyup", function(evt) { 
          if (evt.ctrlKey || evt.keyCode == 17) {
           map.enablePan();
           map.enableRubberBandZoom();
             }
         });
