[OpenLayers-Users] ModifyFeature with SelectFeature hover/highlight type capability

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Charles,

You could achieve what you want be creating a SelectFeature control with 
highlightOnly:true for "highlight and display info" and a standard 
ModifyFeature control for the second one. By registering 
"featurehighlighted" on the first control should allow the display of 
the hovered feature info.

The following example should be of great help :

You could toggle on/off the highlight control when editing, but that's 
up you.

Regards,

Alexandre

What I want to do is visually highlight them as I mouse over them (as well as display some detail about them in a layer) but not actually select them (ie put into edit mode) until I click on them.  Once they are truly selected I want them to stay highlighted while being edited/moved (I am working with points).
