[fusion-dev] OpenLayers Layer z-indexes

[Nolte, Tim]

So I have figured out a fix for this. Can anyone verify if they see this
problem in MapGuide as well? I'm not sure if it is typical to build
multiple MapGuide layers into a MapGroup or not. This works very nicely
on the MapServer side.

Subject: [fusion-dev] OpenLayers Layer z-indexes

So I have had a problem where my multiple maps (OpenLayers layer) have
not been stacked in the right order according to my
ApplicationDefinition. It appears that with the current process for
loading maps is more synchronous this is causing OpenLayers to apply a
z-index based on which image has been rendered first. Are others aware
of this, or have others experienced the same issue?

As I've looked into the OpenLayers API there seems like a possibility of
perhaps specifying a z-index to be used when a layer is rendered. This
would allow us to add an additional layer variable for storing the
predefined z-index to be used by OpenLayer when rendering which would
allow layers to still be rendered synchronously and have them stacked in
the expected order. What are the thoughts on this? Is this a possible
solution?
