[OpenLayers-Dev] my first control... again

[toni hernández]

can't manage my first control

hi,

I am still trying to develop a new control for my application. The control
is called ParallelLine. I am sorry to bother you with this again.
I copied most of the code from ModifyFeature control as Ivan suggested.

As in the ModifyFeature control, this new control includes a selectControl
variable.

The problem is that when I activate my control the selectControl variables
seems not to be propperly initialized.

To test it, I added an  alert to the SelectFeature activate method to see if
it is called when instanciating the selectControl variable of my new
control. And it isn't. I have tried to see what happen when I activate the
original ModifyFeature, and of course, it works fine.

I think I have forgotten to change some url. Otherwise I do not have any
idea what is going on.
I must have you all quite confused.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This is how I call the js files.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

<script src="../OpenLayers.js"></script>
<script src="../lib/OpenLayers/Control/ParallelLine.js"></script>

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This is how I initialize the parallelLine control
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    initialize: function(layer, options) {
        this.layer = layer;
    OpenLayers.Control.prototype.initialize.apply(this, [options]);

        var control = this;
    var selectOptions = {
            geometryTypes: this.geometryTypes,
        hover: true,
            clickout: this.clickout,
            toggle: this.toggle
        };

        this.selectControl = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(
            this.layer, selectOptions
        );

        this.layer.events.on({
            "beforefeatureselected": this.beforeSelectFeature,
            "selectFeature": this.selectFeature,
            scope: this
        });


        // Regiter the events (sigte)
    this.layer.events.register("mousemove", this, this.mmove );
    this.layer.events.register("mousedown", this, this.mdown );
    }

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
This is how I activate the parallelLine control.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    activate: function() {
    //this function is called. Sure.
        return (this.selectControl.activate() &&
                OpenLayers.Control.prototype.activate.apply(this,
arguments));
    }

This is the activate method from SelectFeature.js which seems to be never
called.
    /*From SelectFeature.js*/
    activate: function () {
    alert("yes");
        if (!this.active) {
            this.handlers.feature.activate();
            if(this.box && this.handlers.box) {
                this.handlers.box.activate();
            }
        }
        return OpenLayers.Control.prototype.activate.apply(
            this, arguments
        );
    }

I promise  not to bother you again in one week.
ok two weeks then.
