attachment inspector sample modification issue

SimonMorgan — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:23:28 GMT

I am attempting to change the attribute inspector sample to point to my day. I changed it to point to a point layer (which is in SDE AND published as a feature server), I click on the point and nothing happens. It does not get selected, the attribute editor window does nto pop. The portion I modified is below:

I got it to work with polygons to the point where I can click on a polygon and have the attribute editor pop up, but when I make a change I get the following:

An unexpected error occurred processing the request.

I have tried ti with and without the following field inspector code:

<esri:FieldInspector featureLayer="{myFeatureLayer}"
fieldName="Comments"
label="Comments"/>

Does the attribute inspector work with points?

Yes, the attribute inspector works with all geometry types. Can you use a tool like Charles Proxy or HttpFox to see what the request was that gave the error?

I altered my services to be in their native form and changed the sample as below, but now data does not even display.

Per my previous post, it was a simple coordinate system issue, silly mistake. But I still cannot click on a point to modify its attributes.

I have run charles proxy, what I am I looking for?

Do you see any requests going to your service and are there any errors in the responses?

Can you post the full source to your app?

I was having this issue recently also but with the Attribute Inspector. I changed the click query to give me a tolerable extent by using the click query syntax from the "Related Records" sample under FeatureLayer samples. It seems as though the probability of actually clicking on an infinity small point is very low (A bit of humor there).

Here is the bit of code that I used to enable me to click a point and display the Attribute Inspector...

var tol:Number = myMap.extent.width / myMap.width * 5;
var x:Number = event.mapPoint.x;
var y:Number = event.mapPoint.y;
var queryExtent:Extent = new Extent(x - tol, y - tol, x + tol, y + tol);

var thisSelectionQuery:Query = new Query();
thisSelectionQuery.geometry = queryExtent;
myFeatureLayer.selectFeatures(thisSelectionQuery, FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW);

Maybe this will help
