Hello everyone!  I am currently have an application that uses floating panes.  I have a main toolbar that contains the tool icons.  When a button is clicked, the floating pane will appear with the tool.  However, when I close the floating pane, then click on the button to re-activate, the floating pane will not re-appear.  I have read that closing the floating pane destroys the open.  Has anyone come up with the solution, so that each time you close the floating pane, you can re-open by clicking on the button?  The code I have is simple, both the JavaScript and HTML which is posted below.  What modifications do I need to make?  I appreciate any feedback.  Thank you. Here is an example for a measuring tool: JavaScript Code // Hide Measuring Tool Floating Pane on Load domStyle.set("measuringToolFloatingPanePick", "visibility", "hidden");    // Measuring Tool activate Floating Pane on Click registry.byId("measuringToolButton").on("click", function () {     openMeasuringToolFloatingPane("measuringToolFloatingPanePick"); });    // Open Measuring Tool using Floating Pane Function    function openMeasuringToolFloatingPane(paneId) {       var mtfp = registry.byId(paneId);    mtfp.show(); }       // Measuring Tool var measurementWidget = new Measurement({    map: map,    defaultAreaUnit: esri.Units.SQUARE_FEET,    defaultLengthUnit: esri.Units.FEET }, dom.byId("measurementDIV")); measurementWidget.startup(); HTML Code <!-- Measuring - Measuring Tool -->    <div id="measuringFrame">       <div data-dojo-type="dijit/form/Button" id="measuringToolButton" title="Measuring" data-dojo-props="iconClass:'measuringIcon'"></div>    </div> Here is how my floating pane appears.  It appears when clicking on the icon (within the red square).  When I close, then try to re-open...it won't. ...

I am currently working on building a popup that shows attributes from the feature layer and I have related object attributes that I am also wanting to display.  For related objects, we never use the Object ID, because the Object ID number changes. Based on the ESRI samples, they use OBJECTID or JOINID. We have a 1 to many relationship.  For example here is how the relationship works with the unique ID numbers: Addresses: FACILITYID (Unique ID of 19305) - Feature Layer Utility Customer Information - C_FACILITYID (unique ID of 19305) - related object view As you can see, both field names are different, but the relationship works.  However, I am having problems getting this to work using the different field names. In this sample, the same field names are used?  Anyone know how I can change this to accept to different fields that contain the same unique ID number?  Please refer to the index.html sample. Any feedback will greatly be appreciated. ... View more

I currently have a table view set up in SDE that pulls a lot of utility information together.  I am currently working on a JavaScript application that will allow a use to type in an address or name, then the results will be posted into a data grid. The problem is this, I can get this to work with any map service layer, but not with a table view.  The table view in the map service contains an ID of 1.  This particular application will not have a map service, just input parameters and a data grid.  That is it. I can run queries through the REST endpoint and get the results I want. My question is, what is the correct class to use for querying from table views.  I thought I could use findParams, but that doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! ... View more

I have a python script tool that exports records from a feature layer using an (area of interest - aoi).  The tool works well, but the problem is that if I have a comma in text in one of the field records, it will break the text after the comma and move it to the next field.  The shown below that are highlighted in yellow show records that are offset. I am attaching the toolbox along with the script.  Is there a way I can fix this issue?  I didn't get any help from ESRI.  They just forwarded me some links, but I figure I can get some assistance from here. Here is a copy of the toolbox and script as an attachment: Here is the script code itself: <CODE> # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- '''    This script will convert a table to an excel spreadsheet. If the third-party    module xlwt is available, it will use that. Otherwise, it will fall back to    CSV. ''' # ********************************************************************** # * 01.

Would be wonderful if the ability to edit annotation classes can be introduced in ArcGIS Server. Users need to be able to edit and maintain annotation within their applications. ... View more
