Layer Activation with button/icon

AzizulAlam1 — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 16:11:16 GMT

Hello,
I am new at JS API. I am trying to learn and apply this API. I want to display a point feature that will activate with click on button or icon or any link. I saw a sample with button click in ArcGIS Google API extension that is called query a point layer. I am giving the code here. I just want the same thing but not with Google.

Hi Azizul,

Can you give some more info? Do you want to display a layer in a web app? You can do that using the following code:

Add layer to map

       var featureLayer = new esri.layers.FeatureLayer("http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Hydrography/Watershed173811/MapServer/1",{
          mode: esri.layers.FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND,
          outFields: ["*"],
          visible: false,
          infoTemplate: infoTemplate
        });
        map.addLayer(featureLayer);

Then, to display the layer

featureLayer.show();
