[mapguide-users] Displaying properties for dynamically created features

[passionlessDrone]

Problem halfway solved!  The issue, it was pointed out to me, was that the
layer itself was not selectable.  So, if I set the layer to selectable, and
hardcode viewerfiles/layerdefinition.templ to have appropriate
PropertyMapping fragments for the properties I set on my features, it works
out.  Of course, this is less than graceful, but writing something to add my
properties fragments on the fly shouldn't be too difficult. 

Take care!
