When Closing a Dojox Floating Pane - How to Reopen?

IanPeebles — Fri, 01 May 2015 14:59:35 GMT

Hello everyone! I am currently have an application that uses floating panes. I have a main toolbar that contains the tool icons. When a button is clicked, the floating pane will appear with the tool. However, when I close the floating pane, then click on the button to re-activate, the floating pane will not re-appear. I have read that closing the floating pane destroys the open. Has anyone come up with the solution, so that each time you close the floating pane, you can re-open by clicking on the button? The code I have is simple, both the JavaScript and HTML which is posted below. What modifications do I need to make? I appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Here is an example for a measuring tool:

JavaScript Code

// Hide Measuring Tool Floating Pane on Load

domStyle.set("measuringToolFloatingPanePick", "visibility", "hidden");

// Measuring Tool activate Floating Pane on Click

registry.byId("measuringToolButton").on("click", function () {

openMeasuringToolFloatingPane("measuringToolFloatingPanePick");

});

// Open Measuring Tool using Floating Pane Function

function openMeasuringToolFloatingPane(paneId) {

var mtfp = registry.byId(paneId);

mtfp.show();

}

// Measuring Tool

var measurementWidget = new Measurement({

map: map,

defaultAreaUnit: esri.Units.SQUARE_FEET,

defaultLengthUnit: esri.Units.FEET

}, dom.byId("measurementDIV"));

measurementWidget.startup();

HTML Code

</div>

Here is how my floating pane appears. It appears when clicking on the icon (within the red square). When I close, then try to re-open...it won't.
