Widgets not completely deactivating on close

Anonymous User — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:10:01 GMT

My widgets are not deactivating when they are closed. An example is my identify widget. I can identify a parcel in my parcel layer. When I close the widget viewer it removes the selected parcel graphic layer and deselects the widget. It does not deactivate my cursor, so the when a parcel is clicked it still fires the identify widget even though it is closed. It does not open the widget but it highlights the parcel. How can I completely deactivate the widget when it is closed? Below is my close handler.

Thanks,

 private function wTemplate_closedHandler(event:Event):void {  clear();   hideInfoWindow();  removeCursor();  CursorManager.removeAllCursors();  this.currentState = "IdentifyInput";  wTemplate.selectedTitlebarButtonIndex=0;  setMapNavigation(null, null);  setMapAction(null, null, null, null); // deactivate drawTool  map.removeLayer(graphicsLayer);  map.removeLayer(parcelGraphicsLayer);  map.openHandCursorVisible = true;   }

Ray,

You got to start posting Flex Viewer Questions to the Flex Viewer forum..... Not here in the Flex API forum.

http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/111-ArcGIS-Viewer-for-Flex

The symptoms that you are describing are not reproducible in the standard Identify Widget (as can be tested on the live preview site http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer2.5/index.html?config=config-identify.xml). So you must have changed something that broke the normal behavior.

O Crap!! My bad Robert!! You have told me that before. I will begin to post to the Flex Viewer forum.

I have made some changes to the identify widget. Can you give me a step by step list of the process to take when you are closing a generic widget? I cant seem to get the cursor to deactivate.

Thank Robert,
Ray

Ray,

There is no magic list of steps, but it sounds to me like you have not deactivated the drawTool in the MapManager from your drawEnd function. Or it could be that you have manually added event listeners to the map that you have not removed.
