info window gets stuck

JuneAcosta — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:39:04 GMT

I used the sample code "featurelayer hover", but instead of polygon features I use line features. The info window gets hung up when you go from feature to feature, and there seems to be a delay with the highlighting symbol. My app just doesnt run as well as the sample code and I have no idea where to start or how to troubleshoot the issue. I'm sure its something symbol and I just lack the experience. Here's the link so you can see my issue.... http://50.18.218.190/trafficStatus/index.html

and here's my version from the sample code.

I'm using a toolTipDialog as well but for point features in a featureLayer. My code for the closing the tooltip dialog is slightly different:

 this.closeUsgsDialog = function() {
  var widget = dijit.byId("usgsTooltipDialog");
  if (widget) {
   widget.destroy();
  }
 }

Maybe you can try:

      function closeDialog() {
        map.graphics.clear();
        var widget = dijit.byId("tooltipDialog");
        if (widget) {
             widget.destroy();
        }
      }

Thanks for your help, but your suggested function allows only the first invoked info window. All other hovers after the one first fails... I get no more info windows to popup.

Re: info window gets stuck

SteveCole — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:37:10 GMT

I think it might be failing because your show dialog event doesn't create a new instance of the dialog? Truth be told, my code was adapted from someone else's example. Maybe the full context for my dialog code helps:

 var thisObject = this;   //=============================================================================   // Functions to display and dismiss the tooltp on the SnoCo Stream Gage features  //=============================================================================   this.showUsgsTooltip = function(evt) {      var usgsDialog = new dijit.TooltipDialog({    id: "usgsTooltipDialog",    content: "<SPAN style=\"color:blue;font-weight:bold\">USGS Gage</SPAN><br/><SPAN style=\"color:#256EB8\"><SPAN style=\"font-style:italic\">" + evt.graphic.attributes.NAME + "</SPAN></SPAN>",    style: "position: absolute; width: auto; font: normal normal bold 8pt Tahoma;z-index:100"   });   usgsDialog.startup();    dojo.style(usgsDialog.domNode, "opacity", 0.85);   dijit.placeOnScreen(usgsDialog.domNode, {x: evt.pageX, y: evt.pageY}, ["TL", "BL"], {x: 10, y: 10});  }   this.closeUsgsDialog = function() {   var widget = dijit.byId("usgsTooltipDialog");   if (widget) {    widget.destroy();   }  }    dojo.connect(theUsgsLayer, "onMouseOver", function(evt) {   thisObject.closeUsgsDialog();   thisObject.showUsgsTooltip(evt);   map.setMapCursor("pointer");  });    dojo.connect(theUsgsLayer, "onMouseOut", function(evt) {   map.setMapCursor("default");   thisObject.closeUsgsDialog();  });

I made the changes as you suggested. The mouseOver works much better, but how do I get the info window to disappear when a feature is not being hovered?

Re: info window gets stuck

SteveCole — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 02:24:28 GMT

The dojo.connect for the onMouseOut code in my previous post should accomplish that:

 dojo.connect(theUsgsLayer, "onMouseOut", function(evt) {
  map.setMapCursor("default");
  thisObject.closeUsgsDialog();
 });

which, in turn, calls this function:

 this.closeUsgsDialog = function() {
  var widget = dijit.byId("usgsTooltipDialog");
  if (widget) {
   widget.destroy();
  }
 }

Here is my live example of this.

Seems to work fairly well. The popup does hang every now and then but I don't know what you can do about it. If it was me, I'd probably live with it. 😄

Here's my code after the changes from earlier post. The closeDialog() is getting called with the onMouseOut event.
