D&#39;oh!  Yes, that should have been obvious.  Either use whatever is being triggered by the modify callback, or set a custom one if the control isn&#39;t already using one.<div><br></div><div>Much obliged,</div><div><br>

Thanks a lot for the solution using callbacks.  I was wondering if you could suggest how that might be adapted to give the measurements on a draw feature.  It&#39;s much easier than what I was previously doing for measure and drawFeature (passing a customized modifyFeature function in the options, where the new function was the same as the original, but also had the requisite getLength statements - functional, but it seems like this should be far more version dependent than the callback solution).<br>


<br>
When I try to use callbacks-modify on a drawFeature (as below), my modify callback doesn&#39;t seem to get used (the console.log(this) never fires).  I assume this is because measureControls didn&#39;t already use a modify callback, whereas drawFeature does, and as such drawFeature overrides any modify callback I might try to pass in?  Is there any way to append to the normal modify callback?  Am I missing something obvious?<br>

<br></div>
The best way to achieve this would be to listen for the sketchmodified event of the DrawFeature control. this is what actually gets triggered in the modify callback of the handler that is configured with DrawFeature.<br>

    Hi,<br>
<br>
    the solution (if you&#39;re using trunk or 2.8) is quite simple. The snippet<br>
    below replaces the definition of measureControls in the measure example<br>
    (starting around L65)<br>
<br>
               measureControls = {<br>
                   line: new OpenLayers.Control.Measure(<br>
                       OpenLayers.Handler.Path, {<br>
                           callbacks: {<br>
                               modify: function(point, feature) {<br>
                                      measureControls.line.measurePartial(point,<br>
                                           feature.geometry);<br>
                               }<br>
                           },<br>
                           persist: true,<br>
                           handlerOptions: {<br>
                               layerOptions: {styleMap: styleMap}<br>
                           }<br>
                       }<br>
                   ),<br>
                   polygon: new OpenLayers.Control.Measure(<br>
                       OpenLayers.Handler.Polygon, {<br>
                           callbacks: {<br>
                               modify: function(point, feature) {<br>
<br>
    measureControls.polygon.measurePartial(point,<br>
                                           feature.geometry);<br>
                               }<br>
                           },<br>
                           persist: true,<br>
                           handlerOptions: {<br>
                               layerOptions: {styleMap: styleMap}<br>
                           }<br>
                       }<br>
                   )<br>
               };<br>
<br>
    As you can see, the trick is to add a modify callback to the handler,<br>
    calling the control&#39;s measurePartial method.<br>
<br>
    Regards,<br>
