[OpenLayers-Users] How connect the editing toolbar to a layer on the fly

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hello Pierre,

Building my own edit control with use of the panel control works great. With
thi control I also have managed to swap  the control on the fly between
layers in the way I have previous tried.

Thanks for the hint.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen

I don't really know how you added buttons to the existing toolbar, but you
might want to have a look at the panel control.
This would allow you to build your own toolbar, including the controls you
need.
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/panel.html

And, as editingToolbar is "a" panel, you can also add controls to it :

var p = new OpenLayers.Control.EditingToolbar(vlayer);
p.addControls(new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(vlayer,
{'multiple':true}));

Regards
