[mapguide-users] Bypassing initial view at startup

[Scott McFarlane]

FGoulet,

 

You can set the initial view in the Web Layout, and that will override the
initial view set in the Map Definition. If you want to do this dynamically,
(programmatically) then you need to get the web layout XML, modify the XML
to add the <InitialView> tag, then store the web layout in the Session
repository and display that in your browser.

 

For example, the XML for a web layout with an InitialView might look like
this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<WebLayout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="WebLayout-1.0.0.xsd">

  <Title>Sheboygan Map</Title>

  <Map>

 
<ResourceId>Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Maps/Sheboygan.MapDefinition</Resour
ceId>

    <InitialView>

      <CenterX>-87.72</CenterX>

      <CenterY>43.77</CenterY>

      <Scale>2000</Scale>

    </InitialView>

    <HyperlinkTarget>TaskPane</HyperlinkTarget>

  </Map>

  ...

</WebLayout>

Hi,

 

When the MapGuide Viewer start, is there a way to zoom to an extent other

than what is it defined in the map layout initial view?

 

I know I can zoom after the map first apprears but I would really like to

bypass the initial view for a better user experience.

 

Thanks
