add a button click event in _showResult()

[Alexwang]

HI, very confused about this dojo API and widget stuff. I want to add a button click event in the QueryTask _showResults() function so zooming to a feature is triggered ONLY when a button gets clicked. The following codes automatically trigger the button click event after the query finishes which is not what i want. Please help!

_query: function(){

   var query = new Query();

   query.where = "1=1";

  query.outFields = ["ID", "Name"];

   query.returnGeometry = true;

   var queryTask = new QueryTask("http://......");

   queryTask.execute(query, lang.hitch(this, this._showResults));

},

_showResults: function(featureSet){

        this.own(on(this.btnZoomTo, "click", lang.hitch(this, this.map.centerAndZoom(featureSet.features[0].geometry, 10))));

},

Alex,

  The issue is that you are not assigning a function to the click, you were just assigning code:

_showResults: function(featureSet){
    this.own(on(this.btnZoomTo, "click", lang.hitch(this, function{
        this.map.centerAndZoom(featureSet.features[0].geometry, 10)
    })));
},

Thanks Robert. so if understood it correctly, my way will fire this.map.centerAndZoom() automatically without clicking while your version assigns a function to the click event and fire only when user clicks the button, correct? Thanks so much for your help!

That is correct.
