Graphic Blocks Feature Layer

Anonymous User — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 17:41:36 GMT

Greetings!

I've got an interesting issue: I dynamically add a graphic to my map upon the completion of a geoprocess to zoom to and establish the boundary of the region on my map that I want to make edits to. When I go to make edits however I find that the returned graphic blocks the features that underlie it so that I cannot select them for editting. I can select features that fall outside of the border graphic with no problem but no luck on the ones that fall within it! Any ideas how I can get around this? I see a method on GraphicsLayers called MoveToTop but there's not another one for MoveToBack or any other means of resetting the z-order to get the behaviour I want. Btw, selecting features works fine if I first turn off the graphic's visibility. Also, I am using the Flex Viewer with the out-of-box Editor ... thanks!

If you set mouseEnabled and mouseChildren to false on the Graphic it won't receive any mouse events.

Cool Dasa, let me give that a try and get back to you ...

Thanks Dasa, that did the trick!

Hey, I have another post that so far hasn't generated any positive feedback and I was wondering if you migth be able to pass it along to someone there at the team who might have some better insight into SDE issues - the link is at http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/50823-Geoprocessing-Uses-Old-SDE-Data-After-Web-Edits - thanks!

I'll mark this one answered now. I knew it was going to be something simple that I overlooked and I really appreciate the quick response!
