[OpenLayers-Users] Drawfeature question

[Robert Sanson]

I have a map where I load a vector polygon layer (crops) with source data coming from a database in WKT format. The layer is loaded when a button on the interface is pressed. I add DrawFeature, ModifyFeature and SelectFeature controls to the layer, which are selectively activated when a button on the interface is pressed.

...
map.addLayer(crops);
cropControls = {
                dpoly: new OpenLayers.Control.DrawFeature(crops,OpenLayers.Handler.Polygon,
			{displayClass: "olControlDrawFeaturePoint", title: "Draw Features", handlerOptions: {holeModifier: "altKey"}}),
                modify: new OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature(crops,{displayClass: "olControlModifyFeature", title: "Modify Features"}),
                delf: new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(crops, {onSelect: function(feature) {feature.attributes.pstate = "del";
                                                                                                 feature.style = del_style;
                                                                                                 crops.drawFeature(feature);
                                                                                                 }
											}
									)
};
for(var key in cropControls) {
                map.addControl(cropControls[key]);
}
...
function newcrop() {
    var val = "dpoly";
    for(key in cropControls) {
                var crcontrol = cropControls[key];
                if(val == key) {
                    crcontrol.activate();
                } else {
                    crcontrol.deactivate();
                }
    }
    crops.onFeatureInsert = function(feature) {...}
}

My problem is that the DrawFeature control does not display the draw symbol (default circle) until after I digitise the first point.

How can I get the circle showing underneath my mouse cursor as soon as the DrawFeature control is activated?

Many thanks,

Robert Sanson
