How do I change the results label for the measurement dijit

[AnthonyGiles]

All,

Is it possible to change the default value for the measurement dijit from 'Measurement Result' to some other text in a single widget:

I tried changing the following localisation value within the widget:

esriBundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_resultLabel = "new value";

Which worked but it changed the values for all measurement result labels and I only want to change it in the one widget.

Regards

Anthony

Anthony,

   I would suggest doing the esriBundle.widgets.measurement.NLS_resultLabel = "new value"; in the onOpen function of the widget than reset it onClose (which means you need to save the original in a var). Esri does this in their Edit widget

Cheers Robert,

That sort of works but doesn't seem to be an elegant solution in my opinion.

If you open a second widget that contains the measurement dijit before you close the first the label will be incorrect. Which means you need to add the code into the open and close of each potential widget.

Never mind if that,s the only work around

Anthony,

  In that case then direct dom manipulation is best:

Add 'dojo/query' require to the widget.js and then make these changes to the startup function (lines 20 - 23):

      startup: function() {
        if (this.measurement || this._pcDef) {
          return;
        }
        this.inherited(arguments);

        var json = this.config.measurement;
        json.map = this.map;
        if (json.lineSymbol) {
          json.lineSymbol = jsonUtils.fromJson(json.lineSymbol);
        }
        if (json.pointSymbol) {
          json.pointSymbol = jsonUtils.fromJson(json.pointSymbol);
        }

        this._processConfig(json).then(lang.hitch(this, function(measurementJson) {
          this.measurement = new Measurement(measurementJson, this.measurementDiv);
          this.own(aspect.after(this.measurement, 'setTool', lang.hitch(this, function() {
            if (this.measurement.activeTool) {
              var measLbl = query(".esriMeasurementResultLabel", this.domNode)[0];
              if(measLbl){
                measLbl.innerHTML = measLbl.innerText = "My Measurement Result";
              }
              this.disableWebMapPopup();
            } else {
              this.enableWebMapPopup();
            }
          })));

          this.measurement.startup();
        }), lang.hitch(this, function(err) {
          new Message({
            message: err.message || err
          });
        }));
      },
