You would think this would be easy. I want to manually add features (from results of a FindTask) to my feature layer.All examples in the help add such results as graphics directly to the Map [with map.graphics.add() ]. But I would like to add them to one of my FeatureLayers. [esri.layers.FeatureLayer[myFeatureLayer].graphics]This is what the help does (which I dont want to do)
var items = dojo.forEach(results,function(rslt){
var desc = "<p>Name :"+rslt.attributes.TITLE+"<br>State:</p>";
var graphic = rslt;
graphic.setSymbol(defaultSymbol);
graphic.setInfoTemplate(infoTemplate);
map.graphics.add(graphic);
return rslt.attributes;
});
This is what I want to do. The features are added, but they do not display on the map even if I call .refresh() or readd the featureLayer.
var items = dojo.map(results,function(rslt){
return rslt.feature;
});
myFeatureLayer.graphics = items;
Is this not possible? It seems to me that adding features/graphics to a featureLayer is more flexible than just adding them roguely to the map. Can they only be added with featureLayer.selectFeatures() or at creation of the new FeatureLayer? I would like to add my featureLayer with MODE_SELECTION so nothing is fetched from the server, and then query the server with a FindTask and then add the results to my feature Layer. I know how to do it with a .selectFeatues(query) but I want to do it with a findTask not a query.
