Hi Ian,
what you can do is assign the event listener to some variable and use dojo.disconnect method to remove the eventlistener on the button click.
here's an example:
//global variable
var PSFLEventListener;
var NewEventListener;
//use the below to attach the event listener
PSFLEventListener = dojo.connect(plantingsitesFL, "onClick", function(evt) {
dojo.stopEvent(evt);
activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);
activeFeatureLayer = plantingsitesFL;
});
//use the below to disconnect on button click and attach the new using the same method.
function button_onclick(){
dojo.disconnect(PSFLEventListener);
NewEventListener = dojo.connect(publictreeinventoryFL, "onClick", function(evt) {
dojo.stopEvent(evt);
activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);
activeFeatureLayer = publictreeinventoryFL;
});
}
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Manish
Thanks for the feedback how would that work with the code block below? The two tools are identify by the comments.
// EDITING - CONNECT MAP WITH EDITOR TOOLBAR
dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", createEditToolbar);
// EDITING - CONNECT MAP WITH DELETE FEATURE TOOL
dojo.connect(map, "onLayersAddResult", editingDeleteFeature);
// *****************************************************************************
// * EDIT FEATURES - MOVE, EDIT VERTICES, SCALE, ROTATE, OPTIONS *
// *****************************************************************************
function createEditToolbar() {
var activeFeatureLayer = null;
var landuseLayerFL = map.getLayer("landuseLayer");
var militaryareasFL = map.getLayer("militaryareas");
editModifyFeaturesTools = new esri.toolbars.Edit(map);
// ACTIVATE TOOLBAR WHEN CLICKING ON LAND USE
dojo.connect(landuseLayerFL, "onClick", function(evt) {
dojo.stopEvent(evt);
activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);
activeFeatureLayer = landuseLayerFL;
});
// ACTIVATE TOOLBAR WHEN CLICKING ON MILITARY SITES
dojo.connect(militaryareasFL, "onClick", function(evt) {
dojo.stopEvent(evt);
activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);
activeFeatureLayer = militaryareasFL;
});
// DEACTIVATE TOOLBAR
dojo.connect(map,"onClick", function(evt){
editModifyFeaturesTools.deactivate();
});
// POST EDITS AFTER TOOL IS DEACTIVATED
dojo.connect(editModifyFeaturesTools, "onDeactivate", function(editTool,graphic) {
activeFeatureLayer.applyEdits(null, [graphic], null);
alert("Feature successfully updated.");
});
}
// ACTIVATE TOOLBAR EDITING
function activateEditToolbar(graphic) {
var editTool = 0;
if (dijit.byId("tool_move").checked) {
editTool = editTool | esri.toolbars.Edit.MOVE;
}

}
if (dijit.byId("tool_rotate").checked) {
editTool = editTool | esri.toolbars.Edit.ROTATE;
}
// SPECIFY TOOLBAR OPTIONS
var options = {
allowAddVertices: dijit.byId("vtx_ca").checked,
allowDeleteVertices: dijit.byId("vtx_cd").checked,
uniformScaling: dijit.byId("uniform_scaling").checked
};
editModifyFeaturesTools.activate(editTool, graphic, options);
}
// *****************************************************************************
// * DELETE FEATURES *
// *****************************************************************************
function editingDeleteFeature(results) {
var layers = dojo.map(results, function (result) {
return result.layer;
});
// DELETE FEATURE USING ONCLICK
dojo.forEach(layers, function (deleteFeatureslLayer) {
dojo.connect(deleteFeatureslLayer, "onClick", function (evt) {
dojo.stopEvent(evt);
// DELETE FEATURE IS DELETE BUTTON IS CHECKED (ACTIVE)
if (dijit.byId("tool_delete").checked) {
deleteFeatureslLayer.applyEdits(null, null, [evt.graphic], function () {
operation = new esri.dijit.editing.Delete({
featureLayer: deleteFeatureslLayer,
deletedGraphics: [evt.graphic]
});
// ALERT WHEN FEATURE IS DELETED
alert("Feature deleted.")
});
}
});
});
}
