launch one widget from another

AlistairFox — Wed, 26 Jul 2017 03:04:46 GMT

Is it possible at the completion of the user capturing a polygon using the edit widget to launch widget in the web app, so the user doesn't have to know to go and launch it manually?

awesome thanks, new I had seem that somewhere. As an extension to that how would you fire off a geo-processing service on completion of an edit function using the edit widget?

Alistair,

you would just use the Geoprocessor class for the JS API like in this sample:

Geoprocessing - Service area task | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.21

in the _autoApplyEditWhenGeometryIsModified method of the edit widget.

I’ve found the function that runs when the user clicks close on the attribute inspector after creating a new feature in edit widget. I can get an alert to popup from inside that function. But the gp tool code never runs.

I’m wondering if its because its on a widget inside this web app builder framework? And not that same as being just a page using the javascript API??

_enableToAnswerEventForEditorATI: function() {

alert("geoproc");

//call geoprocessing service
        gp = new Geoprocessor("https://xxxxx/arcgis/rest/services/EBP_Irwin/Overlay/GPServer/Overlay/submitJob");
        gp.setOutputSpatialReference({wkid: 102100});
var params = { "returnZ": false, "returnM": false,"f": "json", };
        gp.execute(params);

Alistair,

No that would not be the issue. WAB is just a custom JS API App. I don't see and result or error callback code in what you posted. Do you see the GP task called in your browsers network tab or any errors in the console?
