AttributeTable KML export

KennyHoran — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:38:46 GMT

I like the CSV export option in the AttributeTable widget. Is there any possibility of adding KML too? If not, is there somewhere I could download the source to agslib-3.1 to develop my own?

Kenny,

The source code for the viewer can be found on GitHub here:

https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-viewer-flex

http://www.esri.com/apps/products/download/index.cfm?fuseaction=download.all#ArcGIS_API_for_Flex

I don't think Esri's Flex API is open source, though.

Robert's e-Search widget will show a floating or fixed datagrid which allows your to export to CSV though.

I am not aware of any restriction from you customizing the provided source code, I believe that's why it�??s called the 'sample viewer', to be used as a starting point.

Sorry about the misunderstanding, of course changing the source code of the Viewer is no problem. I am referring to the API, which is provided to us as a .swc which is referenced in the Viewer source code all over the place.

When the OP stated, "agslib-3.1", I thought he was referring to the "agslib-3.1-2012-12-12.swc", which is the compiled Flex API.

Yes I see what you mean, i think the changes that Kenny will need to make should be achievable in the attribute table widget.

I've looked through the AttributeTable widget and have trouble wrapping my head around it. Could you point me to where the csv export is performed? I was hoping to model a KML option after it but so far I can't find it. I wonder if the logic is not contained within the AttributeTable object itself, part of agslib-3.1-2012-12-12.swc.

I was originally going to add it to Robert's fixed datagrid but the AttributeTable fits my needs perfectly. Now if I can just find a place for a KML export...

To add more "things" to the table options menu (or any other adjustment to the AttributeTable), start with the skin for AttributeTableSkin:
