[mapserver-users] Get the nearest layer with mapscript...

[Paul james]

Hi Steve!
I didn't know that mapObj could call queryByPoint as well ... Thanks...
But, How can I get the feature selected after query ?

Using LayerObj I did that (using layer.getNumResults() )

if (_layer.queryByPoint(MapaObj, _point, 0, -2) == 0)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < _layer.getNumResults(); i++)
                {
                    resultCacheMemberObj _result = _layer.getResult(i);

                    return _result.shapeindex.ToString();
                }
            }

How can I do that using MapObj ?

thanks!
