[OpenLayers-Users] Change colors on a selected polygon (feature)

[Swärd Mårten]

Ok, thanks! But the system this will be used in is a production system for forecasting thunderstorms and sending warnings with SMS so I have to wait for an official release.. 

I'll have to figure out something else.. But thanks for you answer!

Regards, Mårten

You have to set the selectStyle property of 
OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature. Currently, the selectStyle is a 
separate style and does not extend the feature style. So your 
requirement can only be fulfilled if you have the same fill-color for 
all features of your layer.

See http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1260 for a patch if you want to 
have your feature style extended by the selectStyle.

Andreas.
