[fusion-users] Get layer name from Legend right-click

[Tom van der Putte]

 Hi Mike,
 Thanks for the explanation, so far I think I understand.
 What I meant was the following:
 I can't figure out where I can get the layer variable from
(containing the layer or layername that was right-clicked). You're
passing the layer variable, but how do you get it to contain the right
layer. Thats the main issue here. To simplify my problem:
 I have a context menu for the legend, containing an item: 'alert
layer name', which functionality would be to do just that. I'd add
these to lines to the Legend.Legendrenderer.
 this.alertLayernameAction= new
Jx.Action(OpenLayers.Function.bind(alert( lyrName),null)); // (or
something like that?)
 this.alertLayer= new Jx.MenuItem(this.executeRasterQueryAction,
{label:OpenLayers.i18n('alert layer name')});
 My issue her is where do I get lyrname from? Is the name of the node
that was right-clicked available somewhere?
 Hope this is clearer, thanks so much!

 Tom,
 Then your getRasterQuery method would look like:
 function getRasterQuery(layer) {
     var temp = layer.name;
 ...
 }
 For the OpenLayers.Function.bind method, the first arg is the method
to 
 be bound, the second arg is the object to bind to (object will be
'this' 
 inside the method), and then the rest of the arguments will be
passed to 
 the bound method as arguments.
