Kill infoWindow

ReneeMaxwell — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 17:33:26 GMT

I'm using the editing dijits and I'd like to turn off the infoWindow. I have a query for related records that fires whenever a feature is selected, and this query then populates a form that I have built on the page. I do NOT need the infoWindow but I can't figure out how to turn it off.

When you create the map set the showInfoWindowOnClick option to false to disable the info window. Here's a code snippet that shows this:

map = new esri.Map("map", {
          extent: esri.geometry.geographicToWebMercator(new esri.geometry.Extent(-125.90, 44.60, -114.65, 50.22, new esri.SpatialReference({wkid:4326}))),
          showInfoWindowOnClick:false
        });

Thanks Kelly! I appreciate the tip. Unfortunately it didn't work. I added that to my init() function but the infoWindow still pops up.

FWIW, I wonder if this is a related issue - I can't get my map to enable zooming with the scroll wheel either. It appears that my map settings are having no effect whatsoever.

map = new esri.Map("map", {
        enableScrollWheelZoom: true,
        showInfoWindowOnClick:false
});

Any ideas as to why these settings are not being honored?

I re-read your initial post and this is because you are using the editor. The editor uses the info window to display attribute information. Can you tell me a bit about how you are using the editor, for example are you using it just to create new features - or are you using the toolbar etc?

I am not using the editor toolbar, but I am using the template picker. I'm using it to create new features and to edit feature attributes. However, most of the attributes are all housed in related business tables so I'm using a lot of custom code.

I don't want to use the infoWindow for a couple of reasons. First, it's not big enough to edit all the fields I need to display. Second, it's location is related to the position of the feature on the screen, and this often means that it gets cut off if the feature is near the top of the screen.

enableScrollWheelZoom isn't set via the Map's constructor. Try this after the map is created.

map.enableScrollWheelZoom();

map.enableScrollWheelZoom();

That was my original code. That doesn't work either.

You have to wait until the map is loaded for this to work, are you doing something like this?

dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", function() {
  map.enableScrollWheelZoom();
});

Although scrollWheelZoom should be enabled by default so perhaps there is something else going on in your case. If you run one of the samples can you use your mouse scrolling to zoom?

Re: Kill infoWindow

ReneeMaxwell — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 20:07:10 GMT

That almost works. It will zoom once, but only once. Weird.

Yes, the sample maps work.

I have to run and I'll be out of the office part of next week but I'll be troubleshooting this problem again when I return. And I still need help with the infoWindow:)

If the only thing you are using is the template picker to create features then you may want to take a look at the Editing without Editor sample. This sample shows how to use the template picker to add features and does not display the attribute inspector:

I was just experiencing this same problem using the editor dijit with the attribute inspector displaying in a div instead of the info window.
An empty info window kept popping up on screen.
My solution was to set the following styles in my css stylesheet.

#map_infowindow {
    display:none;
    visibility:hidden;
}

.window {
    display:none;
    visibility:hidden;
}

Hope this helps! 🙂

Kathleen's solution seems to work the best. Guaranteed to hide the window. Unfortunately the CSS has changed. This is what I used:

#map_root .esriPopup {
    display: none;
    visibility: hidden;
}

I'm not sure if #map_root is always consistent as my div is #map and I wonder if it appends _root to the popup's container div. So you may simply want to hide any div with the esriPopup class in your map div.

#map .esriPopup {
    display: none;
    visibility: hidden;
}

I do NOT need the infoWindow but I can't figure out how to turn it off.

Have you specified an infoTemplate for the featureLayer?

The template that defines the content to display in the map info window when the user clicks on a feature. If not specified, the info window will not be displayed.

If this is defined, then it will show when you click on the feature layer's features.
