[OpenLayers-Users] combining handlers, or hover + select

[Jesse V Griffis]

Thanks Eric,

I wasn't sure if dumping a bunch of code to the list would be useful.

Essentially, I just copied the Hover Control from the example page
(http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/hover-handler.html) and tried to
copy the stuff from the SelectFeature Control (in the source).

Testing it, I know the hover/pause part of this is working, but I
can't figure out how to apply the selection piece.  Please don't laugh
too hard:

OpenLayers.Control.Hover = OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Control,
  {
    layer: null,

    isPaused: false,

    defaultHandlerOptions: {
    'delay': 1000,
    'pixelTolerance': 1,
    'stopMove': false
    },

    initialize: function(layer, options)
    {
      this.layer = layer;
      this.handlerOptions = OpenLayers.Util.extend(
        {}, this.defaultHandlerOptions
      );
      OpenLayers.Control.prototype.initialize.apply(
        this, arguments
      );

      this.handlers = {
        feature: new OpenLayers.Handler.Feature(
          this, this.layer, { 'over': this.over}, {}
        ),
        hover: new OpenLayers.Handler.Hover( this,
          {'pause': this.onPause, 'move': this.onMove}, this.handlerOptions
        )
      }
    },

    draw: function() {
      return false;
    },

    activate: function() {
      this.handlers.feature.activate();
      this.handlers.hover.activate();
    },

    deactivate: function() {
      this.handlers.feature.deactivate();
      this.handlers.hover.deactivate();
    },


    onPause: function(evt) {
      this.isPaused = true;
    },

    onMove: function(evt) {
      this.isPaused = false;
    },

    over: function(feature) {
      if ( this.isPaused)
      {
        console.log(feature);
      }
    }
  });
