Controlling the size of the window opened from the query widget linkfield

DaveFrame — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 17:34:41 GMT

I would like to set the size of the window that opens from the query widget feedurl. I've tried wrapping some java around my URL, but the flex viewer doesn't seem to recognize java. Any ideas?

Dave,

The way to do this is using this code:

QueryResultItemRenderer.mxml

            private function showLink(event:MouseEvent):void             {                 event.stopImmediatePropagation(); // don't dispatch QUERY_RESULT_CLICK since we don't want to zoom to feature                 //navigateToURL(new URLRequest(queryResultAttributes.link));                 ExternalInterface.call("window.open", queryResultAttributes.link, "win", "height=200,width=300,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes");             }

Hey Robert,

Thanks for responding so quickly. Is QueryResultItemRenderer.mxml a new file or an existing one that we need to add the code to.

Thanks,
Dave Frame

Dave,

SO you are using the uncompiled Flex Viewer aren't you? The QueryResultItemRenderer.mxml has been around all the way back to FV 2.1. This change is not something you can do by manipulating the compiled Flex Viewer or just the xml files.

Hey Robert,

Correct, we've been working with ESRI to duplicate a dashbord app they created for the city of Charlotte NC. Up to this point we've only been adding their widgets or editing existing widgets. All of the editing we've done has been in Notepad ++, and nothing has had to be compiled.

Thanks,
