I know that the dropdownlist in dojo has been depreciated. In flex, once a dropdownlist was clicked on, code could check if certain criteria were met and if not, the value of the list would not change. I am trying to implement similar functionality with dojo/select however, the absence of the "break" to exit a function in dojo, makes this more complex. In dojo, once you click on the select list. it allows the user to change its value. A solution is to store the current value of the select list, and if criteria are not met, then revert the select list to its original value. Any other more simple solutions? Thanks. ... View more

Many thanks to Robert and others for helping our community with their custom widgets. I personally use Robert's Identify, LocalLayer widgets to identify a few. Each of these widgets have their own configuration files. Since most of the times the layers that are utilized in the widgets are the same, I found myself to duplicate most of the configuration in each widget configuration. It would be ideal, if the widgets could share the same config file. So, in the config.json the widgets point to the same config file. Comments? Example in the config.json "widgetPool": {    ........................... ....................................     "widgets": [       {         "name": "Identify",         "label": "Identify",         "version": "1.2.0.2",         "IsController": false,         "uri": "widgets/Identify/Widget",         "config": "configs/COMMON/config.json",         "index": 4,         "id": "widgets_Identify_Widget_54"       } .................... ........................... "widgetOnScreen": {     "widgets": [        {         "uri": "widgets/LocalLayer/Widget",         "id": "widgets_LocalLayer_Widget_55",         "name": "LocalLayer",         "label": "Local Layer Widget",         "config": "configs/COMMON/config.json",       }, ............................... ...................................................... ...

I created a off-panel widget that it has no UI and it opens at start-up. It performs some initial tasks, like reading the URL parameters and it acts accordingly. I don't need the widget icon to be displayed anywhere on the map. Is there an easy way to do without an icon? Thanks. ... View more

I created a coordinate widget that has two text boxes to accept the long and lat from the user. I used the dijit/form/NumberTextBox. At first, I didn't use any constraints but it seems it would not display any numbers with more than 3 decimal places! Then, I introduced the constraints and specify decimal places. With the constrainsts, the NumberTextBox will display more than 3 decimal places but it prompts that this is not a numeric value!!! What am I doing wrong? Thanks. <input id="longitude" type="text"     data-dojo-type="dijit/form/NumberTextBox"     name= "long"     required="true"     value=""     data-dojo-props="constraints:{min:-900000000000,max:900000000000,places:10}, invalidMessage:'Please enter a numeric value.'" /> ...
