style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hi, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anybody had success with changing the selection color in
the DWF viewer? I see several posts asking about this, but no successful
resolution. Is this not supported??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If it can’t be set in the client, is there any way to do it
on the back end (layer, map, or web layout attribute that I’m overlooking) ??<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have looked at the Autodesk sample code for editing the
selection color in JavaScript and got it to work ok with a static html page. I
cannot get it to work with the DWF viewer object that is generated by MGOS
however. I’ve tried extending the javascript that creates the DWFViewer object
in the “dwfmappane.templ” & “initdwfctrl.js” files without success. For
some reason, attempting to write to the
DWFViewer.Viewer.ObjectSelectedColor property gives an “Object doesn’t support
this property or method” exception. I’ve tried just about every other
combination of properties I can find from the 6.x and 7.x DWF API documentation
with no success. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here’s some more background from an Autodesk thread: <o:p></o:p></p>
