Hi Tim,
so it is safe to assume that those events aren't used from within
OpenLayers, right?
At least I don' feel so stupid anymore :-) (Beacause I couldn't get the
to work with simple examples)
Marking those in events as currently unused / obsolete (as with the
drag*-group of events) is an absolute necessity in my eyes. The
API-documentation lead me to trying these events out.
Thanks for the response,
Regards,
Marc
