Jamie, The esearch widget created by Robert will allow you to do what you want without having to do any coding apart from amending the config file that comes with the widget. There is a set of tags called <defaultselectionoption> that allows you set the initial input type for the search to either graphical, textual or spatial, so if you want the user to type his search into a text box set the value of this tag as follows: <defaultselectionoption>textInput</defaultselectionoption> To search for any match in a string set the expression of the search to be something like: FieldName like '%' + '[value]' + '%' the % symbol will then act as a wildcard in your search. This would satisfy your question but ideally if you are wanting to search for an address you would want to use a geocode service that you can create yourself if you have access to your own ArcGIS Server or utilise one that is provided on line. Have a look at the Locate tool in the flex viewer. Hope this helps Anthony ... View more

Jose, The Flex Viewer and Flex API are free to use and do not require you to pay any additional fees (you have already paid for your server license). The compilied version of the viewer has .xml config files that can be configured using a text editor such as notepad. If you are serious about doing and development on the source code it is worth investing in adobe flash builder. The other APIs for Javascript and Silverlite are also free to use. Arcgis online is also free but only allows you to upload a certain amount of data (I think about 2GB) before you have to pay to upgrade. Hope this helps Regards Anthony ... View more

Kenneth, Sorry my last post may not have been clear, if you are adding the grid by clicking the check boxes on the coordinate bar then you add the hiddenLayers_ to the front of the layer names in the coordinate mxml. This works fine for me using the out of the box layerlist, if you are using a customised version this may not work. Regards Anthony ... View more

Kenneth, In the source code of the Mgrs widget where the layer name is set just add hiddenLayer_ to the front of the name this worked for me. Regards Anthony ... View more

Sarthak, The hiddenLayer_ at the start of the layer name works great, Thanks alot Anthony ... View more

Kenneth, I'm not sure how you would stop the layers from appearing in the TOC, it would probably have to be hard coded in the mapmanager to exclude these layers by thier ID's, as they are added after the config file has been read. Maybe if Robert is reading this thread he maybe able to provide some assistance regards Anthony ... View more

Kenneth, The source code for the original MGRS widget (Web Mercator) is available for download from this link: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=56d4d2ed5d474eb4b8e29973d2376652 You will need the libraries from this download in your project if you want to implement the additions I have made. Attached is a zip file containing the source code for the coordinate banner and coordinate menu (right click context menu). Repositioning the scalebar can be achieved by placing the following css attribute in the default.css file: esri|ScaleBar { left: 50; bottom: 50; } Hope this helps Regards Anthony ... View more

Bruce, Have a look at this thread: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/20799-Restrict-View-Port-Bounds-in-Flex-Viewer-2.x Regards Anthony ... View more

Will, Find attached zip file containing coordinate widget with two extra values in the config xml that allow the Grids (MGRS and Graticule) to be set to true or false. Will, Error Code #2036 usually means that a path to one of your widgets is incorrect in your config file, i think flex is case sensitive so just check to make sure everything is alright. Also the two coordinate widgets are added in the UI area of your config file not the normal widget area. As for the labels being cut off by the banner set an attribute of bottom="25" in the map element. I will look into setting an option of have the grid enabled or disabled in the config file.

Gilbert, I have had a look at your rest endpoint for your services and I do not see an OBJECTID field. Do you have this turned off in your arcmap document. I have found this causes problems if hidden Just an idea Regards Anthony ... View more

Marc, Just checked the code and realised that I had an error, attached is new zip file for the coordinate widget. Not sure what you mean by 'adapt the right click/copy widget to this format as well' this should be included in the zip file posted 03-01-2012, 01:28 AM. The config file allows you to set any coordinate system. Regards Anthony ... View more

Marc, Sorry didnt realise that the clear button was not in the MGRS tool, new .swf file with it included. I'm not sure what is happening with the coordinate tool not showing the right grid in your application, as I have checked my side and it appears ok. The grid given in the coordinate widget matches that in the MGRS widget and they are both the same as the base mapping in ArcMap. Just to be sure are you using WGS 1984 Web Mercator as your projection in ArcMap, it should read as srs 102113 in the rest end point. Other than that I'm lost, Regards Anthony ... View more
