[mapguide-users] Adding a dynamic layer BEFORE displaying the map

[Minh Quân]

The Best solution for you.
You need to have a page (Asp or JSP or PHP) to create layer (like address
marker...).
Create a hidden frame in frametaskbar (or framenotaskbar).
In a mainframe file (mainframe.aspx, mainframe.php or mainframe.jsp)
This file will write client page. Insert more code to write custom page with
session parameter already created by mainframe file.
Chear,
Quandx
