WAB - Measure Widget - Line selected on load

RickeyFight — Mon, 23 May 2016 22:47:15 GMT

I am using the Measure Widget. I want the line tool selected when the widget is started. That way a user can start measuring directly without extra clicks. Tom Sellsted

Is there any code that I can change to do this?

Measure Widget 1.3.1 for Web App Builder

Thanks!

Rickey,

Not sure I have an easy answer for this. I will investigate.

Rickey,

Success! In the measure/widget.js you just need to add a single line of code in the postCreate function.

this.drawBox.activate("LINE");

Tom,

This is perfect!!!

I have one more request. For some reason, it does not include the text now. Is there another line I can add or change?

Rickey,

Is this in WAB 2.0? Which browser are you using?

Rickey,

I am not seeing this behavior. What theme are you using?

I am using Launchpad theme.

Its only the first line I draw that does not have the length.

EDIT:

I have now tried it with Billboard theme and I am still getting the same issue.

Rickey,

Can you please try moving the line of code that I provided to the last line in the postCreate function? I was able to replicate the problem.

Tom
