Girish, That was the problem.  I can't believe I missed that!! Thank you so much for all your help! I couldn't have figured it out without you. Tom ... View more

I tried to follow Girish's example and I kept the code example as simple as possible (See below).  However, the map extent in the print layout doesn't get affected by the zoombuffer function.  I've tried everything, but I can't get it to work.  I must be missing something!!   onTest: function () {               //This executes both but doesn't zoom to the same extent         this.zoombufferTest()                .then(lang.hitch(this, this.sendToPrinter_Test()));              },   zoombufferTest: function () {     var bufferExt = this.map.extent.expand(4.0);     return this.map.setExtent(bufferExt);      },   sendToPrinter_Test: function () {        var sTitle = "Test";     var sLayout = "WRC_Landscape";     var sFormat = "PDF";         //Get the user settings from the form     this.printTask = new PrintTask(this.printTaskURL, this.printParams);     var template = new PrintTemplate();     template.label = sTitle;     template.layout = sLayout;     template.format = sFormat;     template.preserveScale = false;             this.printParams.map = this.map;     this.printParams.template = template;     return this.printTask.execute(this.printParams, this.printComplete, this.printError);   }, Map before running code: Print layout (note zoom not reflected): Map after running code (zoomed out 4x) ...

Girish, OK almost there.  Nothing is erroring out, but I've got a couple odd things that happen.  On the positive, all of the functions get executed and 2 reports get printed entitled "Title 1" and Title 2" as specified.  On the negative, the map extent in the printout remains unchanged.  It is not affected by zoomselected or zoombuffer.  It doesn't seem like the map completely refreshes itself before it creates the print task.  Any thoughts?  Here's my code.             this.zoomselected()                 .then(lang.hitch(this, this.sendToPrinter_SoilErosion("Title 1",sLayout,sFormat,sMessage)))                 .then(lang.hitch(this, this.zoombuffer))                           .then(lang.hitch(this, this.sendToPrinter_SoilErosion("Title 2",sLayout,sFormat,sMessage)));               Thanks for your help!

Girish, That was super helpful and I think I'm getting close.  However, when I run zoombuffer first, it zooms to the buffer but when it tries to run the zoomselected function, it thinks that this.selValueShapeFeatures is undefined.  When I reverse the order, then zoomselected zooms to the selected feature, but when it tries to run the zoombuffer, it thinks that this.graphicsLayerBuffer is undefined.  What am I missing? Here's the simple code: onTest: function () {                this.zoombuffer()                 .then(this.zoomselected)                 .then(this.zoombuffer);         }, zoomselected: function () {     if (this.selValueShapeFeatures) {             var features = this.selValueShapeFeatures;             if (features.length != 0) {                 var graphics = features;                  var gExt = graphicsUtils.graphicsExtent(graphics);                 var selectedExt = gExt.expand(1.1);                 return this.map.setExtent(gExt.expand(1.1));             } else {                 return null;             }         } },       zoombuffer: function () {     if (this.graphicsLayerBuffer) {             if (this.graphicsLayerBuffer.graphics.length > 0) {                 var graphics = this.graphicsLayerBuffer.graphics;                 var gExt = graphicsUtils.graphicsExtent(graphics);                 var bufferExt = gExt.expand(1.1);                 return this.map.setExtent(bufferExt);             }         } else {             return null;         } }, Thanks.

Girish and Chris, I reviewed the samples using dojo deferred, but I'm still not sure how to make this work. I'm not very experienced in dojo, so I'm looking for a simple example using the ArcGIS JavaScript api. I'm trying to execute the following two functions which work fine if I stop each of them using alert. this.zoomselected(); this.sendToPrinter_SoilErosion(sTitle,sLayout,sFormat); I tried all kinds of deferred statements like the following, but nothing seems to work. var def = new Deferred(); def = this.zoomselected();                def.then(function() {     this.sendToPrinter_SoilErosion(sTitle,sLayout,sFormat); }); Does anyone have any similar examples I can look at? Thanks. Tom ... View more

Girish, Thanks for your quick reply.  That makes a lot of sense.  I'll let you know how it goes. Tom ... View more

I kind of figured that but thought I'd ask.  Thanks for your quick reply and all of your help!! ... View more

Robert, That answers my question. Thanks. Tom ... View more

Robert, OK.  Thought I might be missing something.  At least I know it's not a configuration item. Tom ... View more

Robert, Thanks!  That did it. I had tried changing that setting once before, but it still didn't appear.  After you confirmed that it was necessary to change the "Addtolegend" setting to true, I noticed that I had some old code in the open and close functions and I needed to update them to show/hide the graphicsbufferlayer. Thanks for the widgets you've created.  They're fantastic! Tom ... View more
