Show InfoWindow programmatically

PrashanthSukumaran — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 05:48:53 GMT

Hi,

The code below to show an infowindow programmatically doesn't seem to work.

        graphic.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent(MouseEvent.CLICK));

How do i accomplish this? Has anybody done anything like this?

Prashanth,

What event is associated with the graphics click?

Robert,

Since Graphic extends the UIComponent i guess it is the Mouse Click. The only event registered with Graphic is "change" i don't see anything else.

1) I have a store graphic and i have attached a InfoWindow to the graphic.
2) A drivetime is drawn around this graphic.
3) On clicking the drivetime graphic i want to show the infowindow associated with the store graphic.

EDIT: map.infoWindow.show(graphic.geometry as MapPoint); does it. I don't have to fire any event to do this.

Robert,

Showing the infowindow using the map.infoWindow.show is working as desired. I also have another requirement of changing the state of the infowindowrenderer. The infowindowrenderer implements the IGraphicRenderer so everytime i click the graphic the set graphic(..) method is called.

InfoWindowRenderer with States based on the graphic attributes

When i click the graphic everything works fine as odoe suggested. But when i call programatically show the map.infoWindow.show(...) the set graphic method is not getting called and so my Infowindowrenderer state is not changing. I guess i have to do this part differently.

Any ideas?

Prashanth,

I don't have any suggestions as you are into an area I have not done anything with yet. Good luck.

Robert,

I should be able to fire the event similar to what the user does by clicking the graphic. I am clue less why the Click event is not working. I will probably contact the esri customer support.

Thank you very much for replying.
