Find Query - Zooming to....

simonmiles — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:49:09 GMT

I've created a web app with a find task within it. All works well but what i would like to do is get the FIND task to remove any exisitng find queries from the map and then zoom out to full extent, displaying the new finds OR better still, zoom to the new finds. Did start out using the datagrid sample but didnt quiet like it.

Below is a copy of my JS and html - any suggestions?

JS

    dojo.require("dojox.grid.DataGrid");
        dojo.require("dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore");
        dojo.require("esri.map");
        dojo.require("esri.tasks.find");


        var findTask, findParams, map;
        var startExtent;

        function init() {
            startExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent({ "xmin": 457000.00012207, "ymin": 157999.85012207, "xmax": 523000.00012207, "ymax": 202003.15012207, "spatialReference": { "wkid": 27700} });
            map = new esri.Map("map", { extent: startExtent });
            var streetMapLayer = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://moon/ArcGIS/rest/services/basemapping_v2/MapServer");
            map.addLayer(streetMapLayer);

            var dynlayer2 = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("http://moon/ArcGIS/rest/services/demos/tpo/MapServer", { "opacity": 0.75 });
            map.addLayer(dynlayer2);

            //create find task with url to map service
            findTask = new esri.tasks.FindTask("http://moon/ArcGIS/rest/services/demos/Java_V2/MapServer");

            //create find parameters and define known values
            findParams = new esri.tasks.FindParameters();
            findParams.returnGeometry = true;
            findParams.layerIds = [0];
            findParams.searchFields = ["ADDRESS"];

        }

        function execute(searchText) {
            //set the search text to find parameters
            findParams.searchText = searchText;
            findTask.execute(findParams, showResults);
        }

        function showResults(results) {
            //symbology for graphics
            var markerSymbol = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol('images/pushpin.png', 25, 25);


            //find results return an array of findResult.
            map.graphics.clear();
            var dataForGrid = [];
            //Build an array of attribute information and add each found graphic to the map
            dojo.forEach(results, function (result) {
                var graphic = result.feature;
                dataForGrid.push([result.layerName, result.foundFieldName, result.value]);
                switch (graphic.geometry.type) {
                    case "point":
                        graphic.setSymbol(markerSymbol);
                        break;
                    }
                map.graphics.add(graphic);
            });
            var data = {
                items: dataForGrid
            };
            var store = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({ data: data });
            grid.setStore(store);
        }
        dojo.addOnLoad(init);
