Access TOC from widget

RavinHasseea

I would like to change the TOC as follows:
1. Turn on a sub layer automatically from a separate widget
2. Switch off all sub layers when group layer is switched off
3. Switch on group layer automatically when a sub layer is turn on
4. Disable / Enable a TOC node from a separate widget

Is this feasible in the Flex Viewer?

sunsilk10,

I haven't tried it with the default layerlist widget but i think with some tweaking it should work.

As making this work required changes in multiple places within the application, I couldn't create a complete save session widget but with all those changes/additions, the save session code works fine for me.

RavinHasseea

Thanks for this. Does it work with the default layerlist widget ?

The code below, loads a user session file

var bytes:ByteArray=lfileRef.data;
    this.loadedObj=bytes.readObject();
    
    map.scale=loadedObj.scale;
    map.extent=loadedObj.extent;

    var layerIDsArr:Array = map.layerIds;
    for(var i:Number = 0; i < layerIDsArr.length; i++)
    {
     var tmpLayer:Layer = map.getLayer(layerIDsArr);
     for(var j:Number=0;j<loadedObj.objs.length;j++)
     {
     if(tmpLayer.id==loadedObj.objs.mainLayer.toString()){
      tmpLayer.visible=true;
      this.hideLayerItem=new Array();
      if(tmpLayer is ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer){
       var dmsl:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer=tmpLayer as ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer;
       this.loadedLayer=null;
       // Remove all checks and also remove any visible sublayers
       for each(var lyrInfo:LayerInfo in dmsl.layerInfos){
        this.hideLayer(dmsl,lyrInfo);
       }
       
       // handle the group layers and call the handler to
       AppEvent.addListener(AppEvent.VISIBLE_LAYERS_RETURNED,handleVisibleLayers);
       this.loadedLayer=dmsl;
       for each(var k:int in loadedObj.objs.visibleLayer){
        var disObj:Object=new Object();
        disObj.index=k;
        disObj.visibility=true;
        disObj.mainLayer=dmsl.name;
        AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.LAYER_VISIBILITY_CHANGED,disObj);
       }
       // Code below to make the child of group invisible but maintaining the tick of the group
       var newVisLayer:ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection(this.loadedObj.objs.visibleLayer);
       for (var x:int=0; x<newVisLayer.length;x++){
        for(var y:int=0;y<this.hideLayerItem.length;y++){
         if(newVisLayer==this.hideLayerItem){
          var idx:int=newVisLayer.getItemIndex(this.hideLayerItem);
          newVisLayer.removeItemAt(idx);
         }
        }
       }
       this.loadedLayer.visibleLayers=newVisLayer;
       
      }
      
     }
     } // end of inner for

i modified the code as below to make it work but i had to do alot of other custom code in my widget, but this might give you some idea.

public function TocItem( parentItem:TocItem = null )
  {
   _parent = parentItem;
   AppEvent.addListener(AppEvent.LAYER_VISIBILITY_CHANGED,updateCB);
  }
  private function updateCB(event:AppEvent):void
  {
   var disObj:Object=event.data;
   //if(disObj.mainLayer!=null){
   
   if(this is TocLayerInfoItem)
   {
    var tli:TocLayerInfoItem = this as TocLayerInfoItem;
    if(tli.rootInfo.name==disObj.mainLayer || disObj.mainLayer==null){
    //var tmpLayer:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer=disObj.mainLayer;
    if(tli.layerInfo.id == disObj.index){
     //this.preventPropogation=true;
     if(disObj.visibility==false){
      this.setVisibleDirect(false);
      //this.visible=false;
     }
     if(disObj.visibility==true){
      this.setVisibleDirect(true);
      //this.visible=true;
     }
     if(tli.isGroupLayer()){
      AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.VISIBLE_LAYERS_RETURNED,tli.layerInfo.id);
     }
    }
    }// end of mainlayer if
   }
   //}
   
  }

rockzZ25, I am trying to follow your suggestion above. How do you obtain rootInfo in
tli.rootInfo.name?
Also disObj.mainLayer?

Thanks

I would have thought it would quite common to switch on a layer without using the toc. But the solution isn't obvious. Below doesn't work. Any ideas??

layerlist contains sublayers to switch on..

for (var i:int = 0; i < layerList.length() - 1; i++)
     {
      var servicename:String = layerList.@service;
      var layerno:String = layerList.@layerno;

      var vizLayers:Array = new Array();
      vizLayers.push(layerno);

      for each (var layer:Layer in map.layers)
      {
       if(layer.name == servicename)
       {
        var MapLayer: ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer = layer as ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer;

        MapLayer.visibleLayers = new ArrayCollection(vizLayers);

        var visLayers:ArrayCollection = MapLayer.visibleLayers;

        visLayers.addItem(layerno);

        MapLayer.visibleLayers = visLayers;

        MapLayer.refresh();
       }
      }


      var data:Object =
       {
        layerid: layerno,
        visibility: true
       }

      AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.LAYER_VISIBILITY_CHANGED,data);


     }

private function updateCheckBox(event:AppEvent):void
{

if(this is TocLayerInfoItem)
{
   var tli:TocLayerInfoItem = this as TocLayerInfoItem;
   var obj:Object=event.data;

   if(tli.layerInfo.id == obj.layerid)
   {
    if(obj.visibility == true)
    {
     this.setVisibleDirect(true);
    }
   }
}
}

The required layers are switched on the map. But no change in TOC.

Hi I have tried the suggested above. I turn on a layer from a widget. This works fine.

Then dispatch an event. The code setVisibleDirect(_visible ? false : true); is run
however, when I open the layerList widget, the checkbox for the layer is still not ticked.

Am I missing out something?

Thanks

I would like to change the TOC as follows:
1. Turn on a sub layer automatically from a separate widget
2. Switch off all sub layers when group layer is switched off
3. Switch on group layer automatically when a sub layer is turn on
4. Disable / Enable a TOC node from a separate widget

Is this feasible in the Flex Viewer?

Are you using the widget from the gallery for the TOC.

If you search the forums, you should be able to find a way to achieve the above.

I had to do something similar for creating a session save widget (saves user session to a file and allows sharing of sessions).

Code which helped me (again found from the forum search):

var visLayers:ArrayCollection = dmsl.visibleLayers;
var newVisLayer:ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection(obj.visLyrs.visibleLayer);
for each(var j:int in newVisLayer){
AppEvent.dispatch(AppEvent.LAYER_VISIBILITY_CHANGED,j);
}

In TOCitem

public function TocItem( parentItem:TocItem = null )
{
 _parent = parentItem;
 //ViewerContainer.addEventListener(AppEvent.LAYER_VISIBILITY_CHANGED, updateCB);
 AppEvent.addListener(AppEvent.LAYER_VISIBILITY_CHANGED,updateCB);
}

private function updateCB(event:AppEvent):void
{
 if(this is TocLayerInfoItem)
            {
           var tli:TocLayerInfoItem = this as TocLayerInfoItem;
    
  if(tli.layerInfo.id == event.data){
   setVisibleDirect(_visible ? false : true);
  }
 }
