[mapguide-users] Setting Active Selection Using Web API

[Mark Pendergraft]

Okay, I have done more testing.... And here is something weird.

 

When I open Autodesk MapGuide Studio 2007, and goto my map layout.  If I
launch the map from either one of the GO buttons (which launch AJAX or
DWF) the code works fine.  It selects the parcel, and it's properties
show up in the pane.... It doesn't work when I'm loading the map through
my own page.... which is almost identical to the dotnetviewersample.  So
I don't quite understand what the problem is here.

 

Why does it work when launched with the entire URL:

http://mga111/mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fKroll%2f
Layout%2fMGAJobMapLayout.WebLayout&LOCALE=en

 

but not when I use:

http://mga111/mapguide/mga apps/test.aspx
<http://mga111/mapguide/mga%20apps/test.aspx> 

 

they both reference the same taskpane startup page.

Subject: [mapguide-users] Setting Active Selection Using Web API

 

I am trying to set the active selection of the map using the web API.
I'm using the MGOS 1.2 and writing in VB using VS 2005 Pro

 

My code seems to run just fine (the vb portion).  When I enable script
debugging for internet explorer the javascript code below returns an
error stating "Permission Denied"

 

-----------javascript code creating error--------------

 

function OnPageLoad()

{

    selectionXml = '<% =XmlSelection %>';

    parent.parent.SetSelectionXML(selectionXml);

    parent.parent.refresh();

}

 

-----------javascript code creating error--------------

 

The parent.parent.setselectionxml(selectionxml) line is where I get the
error.

 

The weird part is, if I disable script debugging and let it run the map
says "0 features selected", the properties window shows nothing, and no
selection shows up on screen.  But if I refresh the map, the selection
does show up, but the properties window and map still show nothing.

 

I'm desperately trying to make this work!!!  I want people to be able to
search by parcel numbers on my map, and I want the map to zoom and
select a parcel when they enter the parcel_id number.  However, it all
hangs on me being able to select items on the map first.
