Is there a way to stop the draw tool of the Select widget from any other custom widget?

[Vara_PrasadM_S]

Hi Team,

In our ExpBuilder App, we are using OOTB Select widget. Its draw tool to select features is on even when the Select widget is closed. Is there a way to stop the draw tool when the Select widget is closed or from any other custom widget through code dynamically?

Any inputs would be really helpful.

Thanks & Regards

In the latest version of Experience Builder (1.18), placing the Select Widget in a Widget Controller and closing it will automatically deactivate the drawing tool.

Thank you for your reply @JeffreyThompson2. Is there a way to achieve this in ExpBuilder 1.15 version?

Can we have it customized by any of following approaches? or any other simple approach?

1. Adding a message action and sending message to deactivate the draw tool from other custom widget

2. Adding a hook to identify the widget's state and deactivate it

Please suggest. Thanks.

To add this behavior in 1.15, you will need to make a copy of the Select Widget and make your modifications in your copied version. 

All Widgets have a props.state property that changes when a Widget is opened or closed. You can build your modifications off of watching this property.
