That was my mistake.  I sent the wrong script.  I've attached the correct one. How can I use this tool for the Javascript application?  For instance, I want to be able to select records and just export those records to a .csv file. I need this to work against a feature service.  How do I use this tool with a feature service? Is this more of an ArcGIS Desktop tool? ... View more

Thanks for the script.  I just want to clarify. . this will work within a javascript application using a feature layer correct?  You mentioned feature class, which tells me that this will work for a desktop application? I will have selection tools that will select the feature layer within the application.  Are you saying I can create a geoprocessing service that I can run to export the selected records within the application? If so, I will try this out when I return to the office next week.  I am out of the office, so I cannot test until next week. ... View more

Here's a sample that shows how to do that with a gif and here's one with text. That isn't quite what I am looking for.  This animated .gif shows up when the application loads and when the user performs a zoom or pan on the map.  All I need is to have a screen come up one time each time the application is opened in the browser. ...

to accomplish this I have a [HTML]<div id="wait" class="esriSimpleSlider"> <img src="ajax-loader.gif"> </div>[/HTML] that shows in the center of the screen. Then using the map.on load event (which fires when the application has finished loading) i hide it. loading = dom.byId("wait"); map.on("load", function() { esri.hide(loading); //other stuff }); There are probably more elegant ways of doing this, but I hope this helps. Thanks.  Will this only appear when the application is first loaded?  I don't want it to show up each time a user makes a zoom or pan on the map. ... View more

Any new features expected such as drawing and zoom tools?  Kind of surprised drawing and navigation tools haven't been introduced, especially since users are using these applications out in the field. ... View more

I was just thinking, could I have a button that activates the dojo.connect and a button that disconnects the dojo.connect? Using this:   // EDITING - CONNECT MAP WITH EDITOR TOOLBAR   dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", createEditToolbar);     // EDITING - CONNECT MAP WITH DELETE FEATURE TOOL                 dojo.connect(map, "onLayersAddResult", editingDeleteFeature); ...

Hi Ian, what you can do is assign the event listener to some variable and use dojo.disconnect method to remove the eventlistener on the button click. here's an example: //global variable var PSFLEventListener; var NewEventListener; //use the below to attach the event listener PSFLEventListener = dojo.connect(plantingsitesFL, "onClick", function(evt) {                dojo.stopEvent(evt);                activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);                activeFeatureLayer = plantingsitesFL;             }); //use the below to disconnect on button click and attach the new using the same method. function button_onclick(){       dojo.disconnect(PSFLEventListener);       NewEventListener =  dojo.connect(publictreeinventoryFL, "onClick", function(evt) {               dojo.stopEvent(evt);               activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);               activeFeatureLayer = publictreeinventoryFL;             }); } Hope this helps. Regards, Manish Thanks for the feedback how would that work with the code block below?  The two tools are identify by the comments.   // EDITING - CONNECT MAP WITH EDITOR TOOLBAR   dojo.connect(map, "onLoad", createEditToolbar);     // EDITING - CONNECT MAP WITH DELETE FEATURE TOOL                 dojo.connect(map, "onLayersAddResult", editingDeleteFeature); //  ***************************************************************************** //     *   EDIT FEATURES - MOVE, EDIT VERTICES, SCALE, ROTATE, OPTIONS                                          * //  *****************************************************************************         function createEditToolbar() {   var activeFeatureLayer = null;          var landuseLayerFL = map.getLayer("landuseLayer");   var militaryareasFL = map.getLayer("militaryareas");                 editModifyFeaturesTools = new esri.toolbars.Edit(map);             // ACTIVATE TOOLBAR WHEN CLICKING ON LAND USE             dojo.connect(landuseLayerFL, "onClick", function(evt) {                dojo.stopEvent(evt);                activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);                activeFeatureLayer = landuseLayerFL;             });               // ACTIVATE TOOLBAR WHEN CLICKING ON MILITARY SITES                dojo.connect(militaryareasFL, "onClick", function(evt) {                dojo.stopEvent(evt);                activateEditToolbar(evt.graphic);         activeFeatureLayer = militaryareasFL;             });                // DEACTIVATE TOOLBAR             dojo.connect(map,"onClick", function(evt){             editModifyFeaturesTools.deactivate();             });         // POST EDITS AFTER TOOL IS DEACTIVATED      dojo.connect(editModifyFeaturesTools, "onDeactivate", function(editTool,graphic) {                 activeFeatureLayer.applyEdits(null, [graphic], null);          alert("Feature successfully updated.");                });             }      // ACTIVATE TOOLBAR EDITING      function activateEditToolbar(graphic) {               var editTool = 0;             if (dijit.byId("tool_move").checked) {                 editTool = editTool | esri.toolbars.Edit.MOVE;                }             if (dijit.byId("tool_vertices").checked) {                 editTool = editTool | esri.toolbars.Edit.EDIT_VERTICES;             }             if (dijit.byId("tool_scale").checked) {                 editTool = editTool | esri.toolbars.Edit.SCALE;                 }             if (dijit.byId("tool_rotate").checked) {                 editTool = editTool | esri.toolbars.Edit.ROTATE;                 }               // SPECIFY TOOLBAR OPTIONS             var options = {                 allowAddVertices: dijit.byId("vtx_ca").checked,                 allowDeleteVertices: dijit.byId("vtx_cd").checked,                 uniformScaling: dijit.byId("uniform_scaling").checked             };             editModifyFeaturesTools.activate(editTool, graphic, options);         }   //  ***************************************************************************** //     *   DELETE FEATURES                                                                                                            * //  *****************************************************************************     function editingDeleteFeature(results) {     var layers = dojo.map(results, function (result) {            return result.layer;     });     // DELETE FEATURE USING ONCLICK     dojo.forEach(layers, function (deleteFeatureslLayer) {        dojo.connect(deleteFeatureslLayer, "onClick", function (evt) {        dojo.stopEvent(evt);         // DELETE FEATURE IS DELETE BUTTON IS CHECKED (ACTIVE)         if (dijit.byId("tool_delete").checked) {             deleteFeatureslLayer.applyEdits(null, null, [evt.graphic], function () {               operation = new esri.dijit.editing.Delete({                     featureLayer: deleteFeatureslLayer,                     deletedGraphics: [evt.graphic]      });      // ALERT WHEN FEATURE IS DELETED      alert("Feature deleted.")     });    }   }); }); } ...

Attached is a sample application that shows a modular structure.  The small sample contains navigation tools, drawing, find, geocoding, and a template picker. NOTE** When you open this application it will be broken.  The application is broken because I replaced my map services and references with <machinename>.  You will need to use your own map services and adjust the code accordingly.  When you are able to add in your own references and map services, the application should work. ...

I haven't forgotten about you guys.  I will need to strip some stuff out of the application before attaching it.  The application will include drawing, geocoding, editing, printing, and find tasks.  Give me until tomorrow and I will attach a sample application. ... View more
