[fusion-users] Maptips on Mapserver

[Marc Pfister]

I have bodged maptips to work with Mapserver and have the code kicking
back the string I want to display in the tooltip. However, the code
seems like it expects some XML generated by MapGuide. Can someone who
runs MapGuide post an example of the XML so I can reproduce it and pass
it on to the _display function and keep it all happy?

The mapserver highlight is part of the query block 

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/querymap

Have a look at the SelectionPannel widget it has a complete
Query/Select->DisplayResults Process for mapserver.

It's easy to just take the current maptip code which handles the mouse
movement detection and modify it to fire off a Map.Query instead of the
MG one. However, when you do this every time you stop moving the mouse
you trigger a redraw to show the selection highlighted.

 

So where exactly is the query code? I think I'll just tweak that that to
pass the query back to the maptip code.

 

Also, speaking of queries - is there  a way to change the selection
highlight color and lineweight?

To my knowledge no.. but you are correct it would be quite simple to
develop one using the select widget 
All that is needed is to have some logic to detect mouse movement and
when the mouse is still have it fire a query. 
and output the results.

Has anyone implemented maptip-like functionality for Mapserver instead
of MapGuide? It seems like you could switch Fusion to using the generic
selection tool instead of the MG specific one.
