LOL...getting my head wrapped around it. I am looking at the example in for the police depts on the query widget. I see the xml and all that but just don't see how to populate the items to be selected in the widget nor how does it select the items. What is it querying and how are the items set up to query in the layer. Does that make sense? All I see is the query in the xml and a result. No in between configuration.
