[OpenLayers-Users] editingtoolbar - adding a new control...

[John Cole]

Thanks for the quick response Christopher,
  I've already tried adding the 'featureAdded' control (similar to the WFS-T
example). But that didn't ever fire; that confused me a great deal, as I
expected it to work.

  We also tried creating a new control using the handler, but again I'm not
familiar enough with the object model yet to get the events piped up
correctly.  I know enough to see that this should be very simple, but I'm
missing the secret incantation to get it working :-)

  If you or Tim could show me how to drop a simple hello world alert when
the path tool finishes drawing, that would be a great help.  I'm pretty sure
we can take it from there.

Thanks!

John

You actually probably want to be doing one of two things:
 * Using the 'featureAdded' method on the DrawFeature Control
 * Creating a different control using the Path/Point/Poly handler. 

Tim Schaub might be able to offer more insight.
