It is a need feature. ... View more

Ok, so I have a file-geodatabase linked to an access 2007 database (accdb)... the fgdb only contains polygons with three feilds used to link data from other tables. The accdb has the particulars in it, including an acreage and an owner name, and an ID. I have joined the accdb to my feature class (in the fgdb) and I can read all of the data from the accdb in the attribute table, and see it all when I use the info tool. I have labeled the parcels with data from 1 field in the fgdb and two fields from the accdb, and I have verified the expression and it says its a valid label expression, however the two fields from the accdb do not show up in my label. Why is this happening? Do I need to go back and use the mdb access format? I hope not, but I have never had this trouble using the mdb format. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Also, I have just discovered that it must have soemthing to do with the acreage format. The ID and the Owners name show up fine in the label, but when I add in the acreage it just drops all of the label values that come from the accdb. I don't think it worked as text and its not working as a double, is there a limit or restriction on the types of value formats that can be used from an accdb to label? I am having a similar label failure using the vb 'Split' expression on a joined field. When I export the joined data and bring it back in as a shapefile, I can label with no problems. ... View more

Simon, have you looked at the sum capability of the eSearch datagrid? <field name="Length_" numberformat="2|,|." sum="true" sumlabel="Total Length: " gridfield="true"/> Hello Robert, Sorry to be off topic, but I wanted to thank you for all the work that you are doing to help non programmers, such as myself. With your (and others) help I am able to put together a nice useable site. I appreciate it. Thanks and have a good holiday. Bill ... View more

Does anyone know how to accomplish this? I need to have parcel attributes print below the map, rather than on it. The default obscures map detail. Thanks. Add me to the list! ... View more

The first time I use the find tool it take a very long time to open, close to 60 seconds. After the first time it pops right up. (Version 10) ... View more

Thank you Mark, this worked great. If it wasn't for this forum, and contributors like Robert, Mark, and many others, my Flex application would be rather plain and my aggravation level would be much higher. Thanks, Bill ... View more

Hello Robert, That works nicely. Thank you for your help once again, you saved me a lot of time. I am struggling through this flex thing, I think I was better off when I was building my application from scratch (using the code samples as templates), as far as the learning process. With all the good widgets that have been put out I felt I had to go the Flex Viewer route, but now I often find myself in over my head, as the code is increasingly complicated. It�??s a struggle, and I really appreciate the help. Thanks, Bill Bill, Here is how to do that for the SearchWidget in Flex Viewer 2.2 :             private function clickSearchResult(event:Event):void             {                 var searchResult:SearchResult = ItemRenderer(event.target).data as SearchResult;                 if(searchResult.geometry is Polygon){                     var pPoly:Polygon = searchResult.geometry as Polygon;                     map.extent = pPoly.extent.expand(1.2);                 }else{                     if (map.scale > zoomScale)                     {                         map.scale = zoomScale;                     }                     map.centerAt(searchResult.point as MapPoint);                 }             } Is that what you are asking? ...

Thanks for reporting this. We're looking into it. Except for the warning, does everything else work? Yes it seems to be working fine. I had this warning right after I imported the project; before I had changed anything. Bill ... View more

Can I just insert all the code from that, from " <fx:Script> all the way to the bottom into my MapManager.mxml and it work? What do you mean by "nest the controlBarLayout in a Panel"? Can you post your mxml so I can look at this? I really do not know much about creating code so seeing it helps. Thanks for your help! Josua, Guess what, I don't know much about creating code either! I posted (or attempted to) a zip of the mxml. You will se that I haven't done much to this yet, it isn't real refined,  but it does work for me. It sound like the widget in the next release will be the way to go, but it is good to play around with the code. I just got my learner's permit. Bill ... View more

knoxgis, would you be kind enough to share your code for the navigation widget you have created? I would like to see how it looks? Joshua, I just took the code from the navigation bar sample at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/samples/index.html and put it in a widget. I copied the "Hello World" widget under the samples and put it in that. I did have to nest the controlBarLayout in a Panel to get it to work. Bill ... View more

Josh, I'm assuming this is in regards to the new Flex Viewer... FYI - "Zoom to full extent" functionality will be part of a Navigation Widget that we plan to include in version 2.1 of the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. Is there a list on the new functionality that will be included in 2.1? I just created a primitive navigation widget; while I did learn a lot, I just as soon use your stuff? ... View more
