[mapguide-users] Selection of Layers Not Visible (Suggestions)

[Berg, James]

There's no setting like that so if want a layer selected you'll need it turned on.

You can, however, make it appear like  de-activated layers are being selected.

First, you need an invisible version of the layer that is selectable. Hide the layer from the legend also.

Second, create visible layer that is not selectable.

Add these both to the map and the user will view the second layer they can switch on and off, but is always selecting the first invisible one that's always turned on.

Couple of questions:

1. What is the best way to set the current map to allow selections on layers that are not yet shown at a current scale?

2. Can this setting be set in the WebLayout of the map because that would be awesome if you could set it via API or globally per map without having to use FCGI call.


Please any information on the best usage for this would be great. Example: a layer is not yet turned on and a user draws a selection box. I want all layers within that selection box to be selected no matter if the layer is visible or not.

I don't mind JS override but I really do not want to edit the viewer code is possible.

HOW?

Thanks,
Chris
