[mapguide-users] Tooltip value from object

Hi Dave,
  if I change this code
 
 Dim strTooltipValue as string=GetValueFromReader(objFeatureReader, objFeatureReader.GetPropertyType("thetooltip"), "thetooltip")

with this one

Dim strTooltipValue as string=GetValueFromReader(objFeatureReader, objFeatureReader.GetPropertyType("ID"), "ID")

where ID is a property of featuresource I haven't any error so I think that the problem is the computed property.

I would do the following to better debug things.

You should check that the objFeatureReader returned from the SelectFeatures call is not null before starting the .ReadNext.

As well note that you don't appear to have set the filter either so you will likely get more than 1 record back from your data.

You might also try the SelectFeatures without adding the computed property, but instead specify an existing known property and include the filter.

This looks like it should work.

Dave

Hi Dave,
 this is my code:

Dim objQueryOptions As MgFeatureQueryOptions = New MgFeatureQueryOptions()
Dim strTooltipExpression as string= ="Concat (  'Nome Sito: '  ,  Concat (  NOME_SITO ,  Concat ( '\nCodice Sito: ' , Concat (  SITENUMBER ,  Concat (  '\nSrambling Code: ' ,  SCRAMBLING_CODE  )   )     )   )   )"
objQueryOptions.AddComputedProperty("thetooltip", strTooltipExpression )


Dim objFeatureReader As MgFeatureReader
objFeatureReader = objFeatureServ.SelectFeatures(New MgResourceIdentifier(objLayer.GetFeatureSourceId), objLayer.GetFeatureClassName, objQueryOptions)
While objFeatureReader.ReadNext()
  Dim strTooltipValue as string=GetValueFromReader(objFeatureReader, objFeatureReader.GetPropertyType("thetooltip"), "thetooltip") ' I get the error on this line of code
End While

GetValueFromReader function is a my function that return the property value. This is the function code:
 Function GetValueFromReader(ByVal objFeatureReader As MgReader, ByVal intpropertyType As Integer, ByVal strpropertyName As String) As String
        Dim isNull As Boolean = objFeatureReader.IsNull(strpropertyName)
        
        If intpropertyType = MgPropertyType.Boolean Then
            If isNull Then
                Return "null"
            Else
                Return objFeatureReader.GetBoolean(strpropertyName).ToString()
            End If
             
        ElseIf intpropertyType = MgPropertyType.Byte Then
            
            If isNull Then
                Return "null"
            Else
                Return objFeatureReader.GetByte(strpropertyName).ToString()
            End If
            
        ElseIf intpropertyType = MgPropertyType.Clob Then
            If isNull Then
                Return "null"
            Else
                Return "notNull"
            End If
            
        ElseIf intpropertyType = MgPropertyType.DateTime Then
            Dim dateTimeStr As String = Nothing
            If isNull Then
                Return "null"
            Else
                Dim aDateTime As MgDateTime = objFeatureReader.GetDateTime(strpropertyName)
                dateTimeStr = aDateTime.Month.ToString() + "."c + aDateTime.Day.ToString() + "."c + aDateTime.Year.ToString() + ":"c + aDateTime.Hour.ToString() + ":"c + aDateTime.Minute.ToString() + ":"c + aDateTime.Second.ToString()
                Return dateTimeStr
            End If
           
        ElseIf intpropertyType = MgPropertyType.Double Then
            If isNull Then
                Return "0"
            Else
                Return objFeatureReader.GetDouble(strpropertyName).ToString()

            If isNull Then
                Return "null"
            Else
                Return "notNull"

Can you show a larger block of code? It seems like something else is wrong after you add the computed property to the QueryFeatureOptions object.

Hi Dave,
  the Response.Write("Computed Property index: " + result.ToString()); expression return to me "1". So I think that 1 property is add but when I try to get the property values MG give me this error "OSGeo.MapGuide.MgObjectNotFoundException: The specified object was not found".

I call my property with this name "thetooltip" and the property expression is: Concat (  'Nome Sito: '  ,  Concat (  NOME_SITO ,  Concat ( '\nCodice Sito: ' , Concat (  SITENUMBER ,  Concat (  '\nSrambling Code: ' ,  SCRAMBLING_CODE  )   )     )   )   )

I can't modify the featuresource because is used from another program

Regards,
Matteo


So I'm guessing in your code you have something like:

result=mgFeatQueryOptions.AddComputedProperty(computedPropAlias, computedProp);
So what if you add a debug statement after it to do something like echo the following:

Response.Write("Computed Property index: " + result.ToString());

An alternative to trying to do this in code might be to edit the feature source and add the computed property there. Create your layer using the extended feature class and in your code you can just select this property without having to do the computed property bit, but if there is something wrong with the expression you have maybe that is causing the computed property to actually get added. I wouldn't call it tooltip by the way as that seems too much like a keyword. I would call it theToolTip or something to be safe.

Hi Dave,
  now I get the tooltip expression from Layer definition and I add a computed property on MgFeatureQueryOptions. I have used "tooltip" alias. However when I try to read the tooltip property mapguide not find it on property collection.
Can you help me?
Regards,
Matteo


Can you parse the layer definition to get the expression and execute a query using the expression as the select statement with the addition of a feature id or key value?

Hi All,
  I need to get the tooltip value from a single object of a layer. In the layer definition the tooltip is an expression. I develop with MG 2.0.2 and ASP.NET
Have any ideas?
Regards,
Matteo
