How do I get the selected graphic to display on top of all the other graphics?

SethCrotchett — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:59:24 GMT

I am adding graphics(markers) to the map and I am selecting a specific graphic(markers). How do I go about making the selected graphic the top most graphic in layer?

Two thoughts:

Find the graphic to move, create a new graphic, assign the "move" graphic to the new graphic, delete the "move" graphic, then add the new graphic to the graphics list

- OR -

Copy the graphics list to an array, manipulate the array, delete all the graphics from the graphics list, then assign the manipulated array to the graphics list

Sorry, I don't have a code example and I haven't tested any of this...

Hi Seth,

The graphics class has a getDojoShape() method that can be used to change the graphic's drawing order. Once you have the dojo shape you can use the moveToFront and moveToBack methods to reorder the graphic.

Wow...scrolled right past that one. Seth, ignore what I posted and go with Kelly's solution.
