<DIV>All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Some thoughts about this, more from a global perspective . . .</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Hmm, this seems like a good idea on the surface, but I seem to remember trying this idea out at some previous GeoMoose development version, and there were some capabilities that implementing it mitigated. In the end, the idea was to use a general associative method of having the selection controls aligned with the particular viewable layer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now, since this was implemented in it's current fashion, I've also run into some occasional what-if scenarios that this new idea would help with, but I managed to get the existing method to work in the end. Things like having a selection layer that doesn't have a companion viewable layer, or at least may not be loaded.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's almost point towards another "TAB" in my mind, at least if you keep the operational aspects the same as they are now. For example, if the MapBook defines a selection layer, then the control for that selection layer would appear under the "Select" Tab, or some such.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>With some of the recent discussions around separating out the user configs from the system configs, I think this new method of applying the capability of selections in a more generic way has come up at the right time.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=590510115-14032008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Currently this is not possibly with GeoMOOSE. I'm not sure it ever will be...it seems like a custom feature. It would also be hard to program this to handle all situations. With that said you could either try to customize GeoMOOSE yourself or you could easily find a consultant that could likely do this customization for a reasonable price. Maybe the cusomtization could be contributed back to the GeoMOOSE project. Essentially</FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=590510115-14032008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2> you would have to write some of your own javascript code so on the "OnChange" event of the dropdown would have it do something with the other drop down.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

This is different than how GeoMOOSE currently handles users specifying which layer is selectable.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
