Remove Event Listener from map

JohnGarvey — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 21:19:40 GMT

This feels easy but...

I have a tool that listens for map clicks on the map. When the tool is minimized I want to remove the event listener. I don't have any follow-up action to do in a callback function and I can't exclude the listener function. Aside from creating a doNothing function, is there something else.

tool.removeEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, ?)

John,

You use the same exact function that you gave the addEventListener when you use the removeEventListener

Example:

tool.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, MapMouseHandler);
tool.removeEventListener(MapMouseEvent.MAP_CLICK, MapMouseHandler);
