After failing to write my own measure widget, I'm returning to this one, although it does have one main shortcoming (which mine didn't) and that is it fails to return the area measurement until the drawing is finished. Is there an even I can hook into that intercepts the mouse clicks as the drawing is made and then returns the polygon at that point (or attributes of the polygon)? Cheers ACM PS the other failing is it doesn't spell metres the way we do.;) ... View more

True - but for my internal application it is just right - I know exactly what my users use (currently XP, IE8 with Google Chrome Frame, monitors, keyboards and mice) - I'm not sure I'd ever want anyone doing this sort of stuff on a mobile device - I'd use Collector or the green app for that. One difference between my test (on fiddle) and prod system, is the text isn't in the default map.graphics, but in a new graphics layer. ... View more

Hi -  I sent the Selected object to console in the working and non-working version - all I can see different is the projection Working object _extent: Object _graphicsLayer: Object _offsets: Array[1] _shape: Object attributes: undefined geometry: Object spatialReference: Object wkid: 4326 __proto__: Object type: "point" x: -40 y: 35 __proto__: Object infoTemplate: undefined symbol: Object _fill: null _stroke: null align: "middle" color: b.Color font: Object horizontalAlignment: "center" kerning: true rotated: false text: "Editable Text" type: "textsymbol" x: 0 xoffset: 0 y: 0 yoffset: 0 Failing object _extent: Object _graphicsLayer: Object _offsets: Array[1] _shape: Object attributes: Object geometry: Object spatialReference: Object wkid: 27700 __proto__: Object type: "point" x: 315910.97257876315 y: 85021.0373395566 __proto__: Object infoTemplate: undefined symbol: Object _inherited: Object align: "middle" angle: 0 color: b.Color font: Object horizontalAlignment: "center" kerning: true rotated: false text: "FAILING" type: "textsymbol" x: 0 xoffset: 0 y: 0 yoffset: 0 End of day here.  So off home 🙂 ACM ...

Odd - I created my own version(I have never got to frips with jsfiddle) and it worked OK -copied to jsfiddle  http://jsfiddle.net/EqVX6/2/  - right click the text and selct rotate on the text. So, I guess there is something about how I add the text in my production site - I'll look at that next week. ... View more

Mmm nearly there I think I tweaked your code into mine, to give                 if (selected.symbol.declaredClass === "esri.symbol.TextSymbol") {                                                               var tool = 0;                         tool = tool | esri.toolbars.Edit.MOVE;                         tool = tool | esri.toolbars.Edit.SCALE;                         tool = tool | esri.toolbars.Edit.ROTATE;                         tool = tool | esri.toolbars.Edit.EDIT_TEXT;                         //specify toolbar options                                var options = {                             //uniformScaling: false                         };                                             editToolbar.activate(tool, selected, options);                                    } This doesn't produce any errors, but it doesn't give any resized or rotate handles - it doesm however allow a drag of the textsymbol.

OK - reviving thread after 3.8 says this can be done.  I am trying now to merge the functionality into the context menu sample https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/jssamples/graphics_contextmenu.html My code is Non-AMD so not sure if I can get this working. Cheers ACM PS this is as far as I have got     ctxMenuForGraphics.addChild(new dijit.MenuItem({         label: "Rotate/Scale",         onClick: function () {             if (selected.geometry.type !== "Point") {                                if (selected.symbol.declaredClass === "esri.symbol.TextSymbol") {                                        editToolbar.activate(esri.toolbars.Edit.EDIT_TEXT, selected);                                   }                 else {                     editToolbar.activate(esri.toolbars.Edit.ROTATE | esri.toolbars.Edit.SCALE, selected);                 }             } else {                     alert("Not implemented");             }         }     })); But it fails with Uncaught Error: [esri.toolbars.Edit::activate] Unable to activate the tool.

Are you using Windows XP (still) by any chance? WE've had exactly this (well it sounds like it) flashing black screen when over various panels. It turns out to be graphics card related with XP - to fix it we turned down the Graphic Hardware Acceleration - we found two notches down from the lowest worked fine. Credit here to Martin on our internal help desk, who had seem similar issues with other applications. Not an issue with Windows 7 (afaik) ACM ... View more

Thanks for that - could you add the bug number please, so that I can keep an eye on the release info (I'm guessing ArcGIS server is the product affected) ... View more

Cool - I'll raise it with our local support desk ... View more

I did think of having text and points in different graphics layers, but that would be a big re-write.  Not only do I add these to the map, but I also add the definition to Local Storage, so when users go back into the map any added annotation re-appears.  I'd have to write a few extra loops within the process of retrieving the data from Local Storage.  Which I can do, but if there was an acceptance that this was a bug then I can tell the users that and hope esri fix it. ...
