[mapguide-users] Fusion API, how to add new vector layer (OpenLayers)

[Dave Brett]

I need to perform a similar task using WMS instead of vector data.  I have
seen in other posts that the functionality has not been implemented due to
time constraints, is there a "work around" available to create a WMS layer
using the OpenLayers API?

I have tried to the steps outlined below with slight mods to be a WMS in
layer, however I still got an udefined object when I try to get the olMap. 
After digging thru the js files I found what I assume to be the OpenLayers
map object oMapOL but still no luck.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have both MGOS and MGE2009 available for implementation.

thanks,
dave
