Noticing some odd behavior when using the select by rectangle tool. After the initial selection is made (on a parcel layer) clicking anywhere else on the map will create a new selection without being prompted to draw a new rectangle.
You have never been prompted in my widget.
This should work the same way as the select by polygon tool - after the initial selection if you click elsewhere you must redraw a new polygon to create a new selection.
The rectangle tool works identically to the polygon tool...
Also, when closing the tool the selection is cleared, but the buffer remains...
I will fix this in the next release.
And...when drawing a rectangle there is a tooltip 'Press down to start and let go to finish' that hangs around even if after you select to do a text search...
If you selected a graphical selection tool and then never draw anything on the map, you would have to hit clear on the graphical selection view to disable the currently selected draw tool.
Sounds like you have something screwed up in your config. What spatial reference are you using in the SearchWidget.xml? is it the same as your buffer distance widgets config file?
Hi Robert Searched the thread and looks like Joins are supported, and specifically mentions relates not supported for now back in Jan. Just wondering if you've considered supporting relates now? This would be very useful to enable the creation/export of a parcel mailing list. Thanks, all the best Steve
Bad choice of words...what I mean is the polygon tool goes right back to the drawing state after a polygon has been created, whereas the rectangle tool makes a new selection with a single click after the first rectangle has been drawn. They actually do not behave identically...I double checked using the code gallery link to widget and tested it using the parcels layer....

Well I feel pretty dense here, as I still have no clue what you are talking about....

by drawing state are you talking about the widgets state being the results state (view) and or the graphical search state?... I just can't wrap my head around what you are trying to point out here.
Use the graphical search polygon tool to select some parcels. Then, right after the selection has been made, keep drawing on the map and make a new polygon...the user has the ability to draw as many polygons right after one another as they want.
Now do this using the rectangle tool. It works fine to draw another rectangle right after the first rectangle as long as you "hold down to start and let go to finish" but if you just single click on the map it will go ahead and make a new selection without actually letting you draw a new rectangle...
OK I think I understand what you are talking about. I am sorry we had to go though all that for me to inform you that what you are seeing is expected... If you use the rectangle tool and do not follow the tool tip instructions and just single click than the API sees that the extents width is 0 and just buffers the point clicked by some predefined (in the API) value.
