Hi Andrew Firstly - awesome widget, has gotten great use around our team. I have now got the job of building a viewer for a company that have their own projected coordinate system (no WKID) and I was wondering if I can somehow use it with your widget? I have had a look at the ReadMe.txt however not much luck. Thanks heaps 🙂 Dominique Dominique, The tool i created does not support this functionality and I think it would be tricky to do with my current widget. Your best bet might be to create a custom GP service to handle this.. Andrew ... View more

Nice to hear someone else is experiencing a similar problem. I have bee digging into this for a few days now and noticed the javaw.exe crashes once it memory hits 270 MB in size. I have tried to increase the memory of javaw.exe using the below command line, but this did not work. javaw.exe �??Xms256m �??Xmx1024m I am at a loss of what to do right now so I have opened a ticket with ESRI, but I think its going to be a while until it's solved.

I dont have the answer to your question, but maybe a possible solution. 50,000 records is too much and you will run into client side issues. I would suggest just getting the results based on the users current extent and re-query on extent changed so you limit the graphics added each time. Or create a map service out of the data so you dont need the geometry when querying. Drew ... View more

Thanks for the code Robert. It works to get the widget ID, but when i try and find the widget i hit and error. Error public function getWidget(widgetId:Number, openWidgetIfNot:Boolean = false):IBaseWidget . . . if (idx == null) {    throw new ArgumentError("Invalid widgetId: " + widgetId); } . . . My widget id comes back as ID = 1007 my code var wid:Number =  ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidgetId("MyWidgetLabel",true); var widget:IBaseWidget =  ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidget(wid); I might end up making my own public collection to hold these widgets in so I can find them.

Hello,  I have a polygon feature class that has too many verticies to pull in as a graphic with geometry. If i query to get the geomnetry it takes way too long and is too much work on the client side. I have a work around for this using map layers and layerDefinitions, but I still need to get the "extent" for a specific feature to zoom to it.  Any thoughts on how to get the extent of a feature when returnGeometry = false in a Query? Drew From my readings and experience I have come to the concustion this is not possible. My workaround was to calculate the xmin xmax ymin and ymax as an attribute to the data. This data does not change often so I am comfortable with the solution. I would like to suggest that the extent is a value that comes back even if returnGeometry = false on a query beause sometimes it's not possible to get the geometry object of extreamly large/complex polygons.

UPDATE: Viewer 2.5 version now available for download. Whats new in 2.5 Can be run as a traditional widget (CoordinateMenuWidget_GUI.swf) - As requested by many users. - see ReadMe.txt Now includes DMS Extent Grabber - Gets the map extent in a variety of formats. - Some of you might like the new Extent Grabber (2.5 ONLY) - Version 2.5 Demo currently not yet online Download URL: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=edd4a2b7c722493a8b08f53eaa131e1e Feedback is always welcome!

Tristan Is your map service(s) public for me to look at? ... View more

I get the following "NaN" in all boxes. Yet I still have Lat / Long being displayed in the bottom left corner of the map. I am using the geometry service that comes default with this widget, if I use my own service or another esri geometry service it says cannot find projection.... Any ideas on what is wrong. I am using the correct WKID's for my Coordinate systems drop down. And my .mxd was projected to WGS 1984 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere).  [ATTACH=CONFIG]11603[/ATTACH] Tristan, Can you post your <coordinateSystems> XML and try the default.    <coordinateSystems>   <coordinateSystem name="NAD 1983 UTM Zone 17" wkid="26917" decimals="4"/>   <coordinateSystem name="NAD 1927 UTM Zone 17" wkid="26717" decimals="4"/>   <coordinateSystem name="World Mercator" wkid="54004" decimals="4"/>   <coordinateSystem name="GCS WGS 1984 (Decimal Degrees)" wkid="4326" decimals=""/> <!-- <coordinateSystem name="GCS WGS 1984 (Decimal Degrees)" wkid="4326" decimals="2"/> -->    </coordinateSystems> ...
