Disabling the editor popup

Hi,

Is there any way to disable the popup of the editor from showing when I click on a feature to be edited?

Regards.

A little more information in your question would be helpful. I assume you have the Editor open because you want to edit the feature. I assume you want to edit the specific feature because you clicked on it with the Editor widget active. The pop-up lets you edit attributes and/or attachments, thus I assume you don't want to do that. So I am going to guess you want to edit the feature by moving or deleting it. To select a feature without clicking on it, you use the selectfeatures tool from the Editor tool bar and either click on the item or draw a box around the feature to select it without opening the popup. You could then move or delete the feature (again assuming you had permission to do so). I hope this helps.

Thanks Ronald for the reply.

The editor is hidden. It doesn't appear in the application. I want the user to be able only to move features by clicking on them. The inconvenient is that when a feature is clicked, the attributes popup appears. I want to remove that behaviour.
I don't want the user to use a selection tool in order to modify features.
Is there any other solution?

What is your Flex and ArcGIS Server versions?

Have you looked at the EditWithoutEditor.mxml, in samples (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/Edit_without_Editor/01nq00000043000000/ )? If it is a specific use, then hard coding in the feature service isn't a problem and drop some of the added functionality so nothing shows.
