Map hint box

TimWitt2 — Tue, 05 Aug 2014 15:28:31 GMT

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if there is some way to have a hint next to your mouse cursor when you enter the map area. I know how to fire it, but I don;t know how to create it.

As an example, click on the point or polygon button in this example to see what I mean:

Maps Toolbar‌

Thanks!

Thanks Robert!

Hey Robert,

after some testing I noticed that some parts of the map act funky once I hover over the map.

For example on the bottom right over the ESRI logo, text starts popping up and when I open the basemap layer tab, depending if my mouse is over the map or not text appears and disappears.

What could cause that?

Robert,

I found a working example, thanks for the help!

Edit fiddle - JSFiddle‌

Tim,

Sorry I did not notice that when I threw together the sample. The one you found works great just needs to be updated to AMD.

No worries, you pointed me in the right direction. Not to mention, I would be happy, if I could just throw something like this together!

And yes you are right, I had to "translate" it into AMD. Don't want that pesky Legacy around

	var tip = "Click the map to get an address!";
	var tooltip = domConstruct.create("div", { "class": "tooltip", "innerHTML": tip }, map.container);
	domStyle.set(tooltip, "position", "fixed");
	var toolFunc = map.on("mouse-move", function(evt){
	var px, py;
	if (evt.clientX \|\| evt.pageY) {
	px = evt.clientX;
	py = evt.clientY;
	} else {
	px = evt.clientX + win.body().scrollLeft - win.body().clientLeft;
	py = evt.clientY + win.body().scrollTop - win.body().clientTop;
	}
	// dojo.style(tooltip, "display", "none");
	tooltip.style.display = "none";
	domStyle.set(tooltip, { left: (px + 15) + "px", top: (py) + "px" });
	// dojo.style(tooltip, "display", "");
	tooltip.style.display = "";
	// console.log("updated tooltip pos.");
		});
	map.on( "mouse-out", function(evt){
	tooltip.style.display = "none";
	});

I updated my sample for those who view it in the future.

I marked it as answer since it is in AMD, thanks!
