Trying to get InfoWindow sample to work

SaraJK — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 00:46:42 GMT

Hello all - I hope someone can take a moment to help me out. All I want to do is click on my points and show an InfoWindow. I used this example http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/demos/query/query_showinfowindow.html

I replaced the layers with my own and can see my points on top of the background layer. I also altered the fields in the query. When I click on the points, nothing happens. Here is my code:

I'm obviously new to this but I can't figure out how only swapping out the data layers in the sample results in it not working. Does it have something to do with different geometry types? I commented out the code about the symbol since I have points, not polygons.

Thanks!

Sara,

I think I had the same problem with that sample and getting it to work with points rather than polygons. I think the trick was that it is easier to successfully query a feature polygon with a screen point rather a feature point with a screen point.

I recall I solved this by creating an extent around my screen point and then using that as the query geometry in the hope that a 'box' would intersect my feature point better than just a screen coordinate and it worked.

Rather than doing this in your code:

 //set query geometry = to evt.mapPoint Geometry
 query.geometry = evt.mapPoint;

Try this:

  var ext = new esri.geometry.Extent(evt.mapPoint.x - 100, evt.mapPoint.y - 100, evt.mapPoint.x + 100, evt.mapPoint.y + 100, globals.spatialRef);
  query.geometry = ext;

Bear in mind that I'm adding map units (which in my case were METERS) to create a 100 sq meter box around the screen point and using that to intersect.

I made the change but unfortunately the window did not appear when I clicked on the point.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

Sara,

If you are trying to display info windows for one layer in your map an easier solution might be to create a feature layer. When you create a new feature layer and add it to the map you can define an info template for that layer. Then when someone clicks on a feature in that layer the info window appears.

Here's an example showing how this works:

Works great! Thank you!
