I rely on the user forums so much when I'm trying to learn a new API, so I've been working to give back a little. Glad it helped.  Grids are hard in particular, I think, because the 3 I see regularly, dojox/grid/datagrid, dojox/grid/EnhancedGrid and dGrid look so much the same at a glance, but they are not! ...

I was leaning toward replacing the contents, because otherwise why might you want to make a copy first? Here's what I did: I went to the link http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/air-sdk-download.html and downloaded something that was called "Adobe AIR SDK & Compiler (version 3.9)" That seemed to be the latest and greatest, it didn't seem like I should have to go into some archive to get an older file.  There is mention of something 'for Flex users', but I assume that is for people that are maybe developing in some other IDE? I unzipped this and put the contents into my existing folder C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0, replacing all the files that were in their originally. When I got to the steps of creating a new Mobile project, I left this as my SDK, because didn't I just replace it's contents?  And I specified the SWC file for the 3.4 API from ESRI because it sounds like 3.5 is for AGS 10.1 and I'm still at 10.0.  I followed all the steps Next > Next > etc until I have a new empty project.  At this point, even before I put any content into the mxml file, I'm getting an error: Cannot resolve attribute 'firstView' for component type spark.components.Application. Researching a bit on this, it sounds like the problem is related to either not the right version of the SDK or something related to how I have it configured. So I'm not getting very far! ...

Thanks, but that doesn't help me at all. ... View more

You're losing me here.  Which one are you trying to troubleshoot?  The one called finalApp.html?  I can see that the query task isn't executing at all with the  map.on load event.  I'm not sure you have specified all the minimum parameters you need in your Query, so you have no results because the querytask isn't ever executing. I added a "esri/SpatialReference" and added this to the definition of queryNorthTable             queryNorthTable.spatialReference = new SpatialReference({wkid: 102100 });       At least now it executes.   Why are you passing Memory as a argument to the populateNorthGrid function?  I don't see that it's necessary at all.  I also believe that an idProperty is required for your Memory definition.  You should probably include that in your outFields definition.                var northMemoryStore = new Memory({ data: northTableData, idProperty:'OBJECTID' }); ...

Occasionally I do have my request time out while generating the PDF.  I haven't been able to pin it to whether it's my browser, or the way I have my print service defined.  It's not consistent enough to be repeatable by others in my office who have tried it.  I tried both synchronous and asynchronous configuration.  I wanted to have it set as asynchronous, but for some reason that never did work for me, so I had to switch.   It's also more of a problem on our production server as opposed to test, so maybe it's a permission problem too. I think the whole function is in the other thread.  Here's the relevant section where the name is specified.     var printTask = new PrintTask(printServiceUrl,printParams);     deferred = printTask.execute(printParams);        deferred.addCallback(function (response){         var d = new Date();         var dateTime =  d.getTime();        var outputUrl = response.url + '?time=' + dateTime;          status.innerHTML = "";                 var select = registry.byId("templateSelect");         var selectOptions = select.getOptions();         select.set("value", "Choose Print Format");               window.open(outputUrl,"_blank");         }); ...

I don't think there's a really elegant way to do it, but you should be able to at least have the graphic appear highlighted on the right feature.  There are multiple ways to define infoTemplates, popups etc, so I don't know if the way I go about it fits into what you have done or not.  You may have all this established in your code already, but here's how I go about it: I like a large yellow circle with a transparency on it so it stands out.  I define my symbol at beginning, along with my popup, which I use in my map definition. highlightMarkerSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, 22,         new SimpleLineSymbol(SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID,         new Color([255,255,0]), 2),         new Color([255,255,0,0.5]));         var popup = new Popup({           fillSymbol: new SimpleFillSymbol(SimpleFillSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new SimpleLineSymbol(SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new Color([255,200,0]), 2), new Color([255,255,0,0.30])) ,         markerSymbol:  highlightMarkerSymbol         }, dojo.create("div"));        map = new Map("mapDiv", {           basemap: "topo",           center: [-92.593, 38.5],           infoWindow:popup,           sliderPosition: "top-left",           sliderStyle: "large",           zoom: 7         }); I'm not using a featurelayer, I'm just defining the infoTemplate in the results handler of my Identify Task.  Since I'm clicking on the map, and I have my infoWindow defined as popup in my map constructor, this is giving me my highlight symbol automatically without explicitly telling it to 'draw a graphic'.  This example looks a little different because I have my Identify set as deferred with 'promise/all' so I had to also manage which layer my identify was coming from     var formatResults = arrayUtils.map(results, function(result){                var feature = result.feature;         var layerName = result.layerName;                   feature.attributes.layerName = result.layerName;         feature.setInfoTemplate(generateInfoTemplate);         generateInfoTemplate.setTitle("Layer Information");//don't need a graphic, it's drawing from the infoWindow:popup in the map constructor         return feature;                 });              if (formatResults.length === 0) {         map.infoWindow.clearFeatures();     } else {         map.infoWindow.setFeatures(formatResults);         map.infoWindow.show(idPoint);     }  {/CODE] When I'm outside the map, in my grid, the items in that list aren't aware they are associated with a graphic, they're just data.   But the data includes the objectID, so I'm running a query to get back to what the corresponding graphic is.  This is a function that needs to work from one of two grids I have, so there's extra lines and incoming parameters here:     //highlights the feature when the user selects from the grid function highlightFeatureFromGrid(event, dGrid, qTask) {    app.map.graphics.clear();    app.map.infoWindow.hide();    var row = dGrid.row(event);    var query = new Query();    var objid = [row.data.objectid];    query.where = "OBJECTID = " + objid;    query.returnGeometry = true;    query.outFields = ["*"];    query.outSpatialReference = spatialReference;    qTask.execute(query, function (results) {         var feature = results.features[0];//should only be on feature by that id in that layer         var graphic;          if (results.displayFieldName == 'VENDORID'){             feature.setInfoTemplate(venInfoTemplate);         }else {             feature.setInfoTemplate(offSatInfoTemplate);         }          app.map.centerAndZoom(feature.geometry, 12);          graphic = new Graphic(feature.geometry, highlightMarkerSymbol,feature.attributes, feature.infoTemplate);                                     app.map.graphics.add(graphic);          app.map.infoWindow.setContent(feature.getContent());         app.map.infoWindow.setTitle(feature.getTitle());         app.map.infoWindow.show(feature.geometry);                       }); }    Assuming that gfx in your example is an esri Graphic and not something else, you ought to be able to just construct and draw a new Graphic over the top using the parameters of the existing one. It ain't elegant, but it works. ... View more

That sounds like wishful thinking.  To me, graphics are all just something short lived, so I'm not surprised to have to continually recreate and clear them as I go. ... View more

I'm not sure if I'm following your question exactly, but the short answer is you ought to be able to use a mix of infoTemplate and infoWindow.show. You mention clicking on a list, how are you determining which feature that it goes with, featureLayer.selectFeatures? QueryTask?  When I'm selecting from something external to the map, it's almost always a grid.  I select the feature from the map based on a queryTask.   To see the highlighted symbol, I've been creating a graphic, using the geometry of the results of that query, adding it right before I set the infoWindow content.  And at the top of that function I always hide the infoWindow and clear the map graphics, so I don't have the symbol from a previous click. ...

I'm glad you got it figured out.  I have gotten turned around before with what class 'result' is that's getting returned.  Depending on what the task was you just executed, it isn't always the same.  Once I realized that, I started putting breakpoints in at the very top of my callback handler so I check right away, instead of focusing several lines down. ...

I can get the map to open, but your services must not be public facing because nothing loads after the frame. ... View more

Maybe this is too obvious, but do you have variables for graphic and graphicsLayer defined earlier?  I'm forever leaving out that little word 'var' when I get in a hurry. ... View more
