get identify widget to "highlight" selected feature v2.2

I have the identify widget install and configured to click the tool and return results.  How do I configure the tool to "highlight" the selection that I am getting the information for.  Expl: if I click on a parcel to get data for it, i see the dot from the identify tool and the data appears, but i want the parcel to highlight in red.  Is this possible, I am just not sure how.  I have seen sights that use the locator symbol and it sort of blinks or flashes a red target of the selected feature.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Mike,

   Currently the identify widget is developed to do this, so no there is no configuration change that can be made to enable this ability. I will consider adding this as an enhancement request though. One reason this is not default is that returning geometry for all map service layer that are under the mouse click could be quite numerous and contain complicated geometry, which would slow down the identify operation significantly.

Oh okay, thanks for your response.  This enhancement would be beneficial to our organization.

Hi there, i too would be very keen to implement this functionality, but unfortunately do not have the skills to manipulate the code. All my 'identify' features are polygons, therefore when the user hovers a result from the results list, it would be cool if the feature was highlighted.

Thanks a lot for all the help.

All,

   A new version of the identify widget is now available.

* 2.2.3 - Identify by point/line/extent/polygon are all now supported
- Info window will appear at the center of identified geometry now if returngeometryforzoom is set to true in xml file.
if returngeometryforzoom is true, when you mouse over a record the geometry for that particular record is drawn using the symbology defined in the xml
- The symbology used by the draw tools is now user defined in the xml
- Fixed an issues with link icon if prefix or suffix is supplied and a empty field.
