Multipage InfoPopup

JacksonTrappett — Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:01:56 GMT

I am wondering if anyone has made or seen a bit of code out there to do a multipage infoPopup in Flex. For an example of what I'm talking about, take a look at this link (click on one of the building footprints and you will get results for the footprint and the parcel both):

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/samples/find_popup/index.html

The javascript API has a popup, where when you do an identifyTask on multiple features, you get the little back and forward arrows at the top of the window. Then you can use these to cycle through all of the features underneath where you clicked. I like this much better than the flex examples I've seen where you get a list of features that you have to scroll through. Has anyone done something like this in flex? Figured I'd ask before I started building my own.

Thanks!
Jackson

This is part of the core Flex API since the 3.0 release.

See the What's New:
* The pop-up window displays with multiple features (using the ContentNavigator class).

Excellent, thanks for the quick answer!

I'm kind of wondering, why isn't there a sample in the samples gallery showing this functionality and how to use it?

...why isn't there a sample in the samples gallery showing this functionality and how to use it?

There is. All samples for infoWindowRenderer automatically use ContentNavigator, you can see this in action with for example:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/InfoWindows_for_FeatureLayer/01nq00000057000000/
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-api/samples/index.html#/Clustering/01nq00000024000000/

But we need to at least beef up the API Reference for ContentNavigator to better explain this.

Thanks for the links, those are perfect. (I was looking under the Find and Identify samples).
