My map hosts a measure and a drawing control. The first should obviously perform client-side measuring, the drawing control should post the drawn geometry to the server on the featureAdded event.<br>The problem: after switching from drawing to measuring, the measuring control mimics the behaviour of the drawing control: the measurement geometry is also posted to the server after completing the measurement.<br>
<br>To circumvent this, I tried to restrict the controls to different vector layers, but had no success so far. Here is the relevant code snippet:<br><br>var plotLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector();<br>var drawControl = new OpenLayers.Control.DrawFeature(<br>
        plotLayer, OpenLayers.Handler.Path,{  //plotLayer = vector layer for drawing control<br>        handlerOptions: {maxVertices: 2, freehandMode: function (evt){return false;}},<br>        featureAdded: function(feature){<br>
            var drawnLine = feature;<br>            var drawnLinePoints = feature.geometry.getVertices();<br>            $.post (&#39;webservice.url&#39;, {line: drawnLinePoints}, function(response){<br>                self.displayPlots(response);<br>
            })<br>         }<br>    });<br>var measureControl = new OpenLayers.Control.Measure(<br>    OpenLayers.Handler.Path, {<br>        persist: true,<br>        layer: map.getLayersByName(&#39;vector&#39;)[0] //vector layer for measure control<br>
    }<br>);<br>map.addControls([drawControl,measureControl]);<br><br>any ideas?<br><br>thanks,<br><br>Franz<br>
