Circle over feature layer

Hans-JürgenWeber — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 07:41:30 GMT

I want to add a circle with a radius with esri.tasks.GeometryService over a feature layer, see attached picture.
The features outside the circle are clickable but not inside.
What I have to do to make the features inside the circle clickable?

The circle is masking the features underneath it so they can't receive the click.

So are there other solutions for my problem?

What's your current code look like?
What have you tried?
Have you, for example, tried putting your circle underneath the other graphics?

Have a look at:

FeatureLayer-How-do-I-catch-the-OnMouseUp-Event

OnMouse-Events-disable-OnClick-event-for-FeatureLayers

If you want to keep the circle on top then have you thought about listening to the onclick event on that and then doing a client-side identify on the other graphics layer?

Thanks, when I put the circles on a layer under the other layers it worked.
