out of visibility range layers do not grey out in the webapp builder layer list widget, can this be changed programmatically?

Amy,

This took a little work, but it was something I wanted for my site as well so here it is. Just take the attached file and overwrite the one you have in your stemapp and/or apps folder(s) "widgets\LayerList\LayerListView.js"

I think I spoke too soon. Are you having trouble zooming in and out with the layer list expanded?

Amy,

What browser are you using? I tested in Firefox 38.05 & 39, IE 11, and Chrome 43.

Thanks Robert it works great. This will be very helpful for my users so I don't have to explain why something is not showing up and that they might have to just zoom in a little bit.

Amy,

Here is a link to my main site that is using this code and I am not seeing any issue.

Could it be that I am using the app from my C drive?

As soon as I open the layer list widget the zoom functionality goes haywire (zooming in will zoom out or go sideways)

Amy,

I have not seen the haywire zooming even when running an app from inside Web AppBuilder Developer (is that what you mean by running for your C drive?).

Sorry, yes running from inside web appbuilder

You have never zoom go berzerk? I developed an app from scratch and was having that problem. Thought it was some outside services not loading properly but when I changed from.........

layer1

layer2

layer3

addLayers (layer1, layer2, layer3)

to..........

layer1

add layers(layer1)

layer2

add layer(layer2)

layer3

add layer(layer3)

it solved the problem....... After weeks of head scratching and trying everything I could think of

This enhancement does not seem to work with WAB version 1.2. Looks like the code for the LayerListView.js has changed a bit compare to version 1.1.

On the initial load the Map Services seem to be grayed out appropriately but the sub-layers that are listed within the Map Service are all grayed out all of the time. Zooming in and out does not update what should be grayed out either.

Any chance that there is an updated version for this enhancement?

Regards

All,

Here is a 1.2 compatible version.

Thank you for sharing. I discovered a problem with the scales at the opening, but adding this all works fine now.

startup: function () {

         this.checkScale ();
     },

I added the startup function to LayerListView.js, but it doesn't appear to be getting hit when the panel opens like I thought it would. Did you add any other code to get this to work correctly?

SebastienPelletier — Tue, 08 Sep 2015 19:47:28 GMT

No sorry 😞

Eric,

Startup only gets called when the widget starts up. If you want something to fire when the widget opens then use onOpen function instead. Depending on your chosen theme the onOpen event may not get fired by the widget panel either.
