[OpenLayers-Dev] Re: How do I fire a function after all features have been selected by a box in OpenLayers?

[Xavier Mamano (jorix)]

Hi,

I have worked on something similar, and I ended up creating a
OpenLayers.Handler.Box outside the OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature and also
call outside the routine "selectBox" from "SelectFeature" 

See line 198 in this code:
https://github.com/jorix/OL-FeaturePopups/blob/gh-pages/lib/FeaturePopups.js#L198
and "done" callback in line 527. 
You can test it in:

--press CTRL key while dragging--
Sorry the code has many other things that perhaps prevent you from an easy
to read. Feel free to ask.
