Hi Kencana,

Sure, I send you the code.

I've made two controls and an handler. I've refactored SelectFeature (The openlayers control and named it as selectFeatureControl), DragFeature (Another openlayers control and named it as DragFeatureControl) and an handler, to virtualizes the layers.

To use SelectFeatureControl is as simple as that:

	To receive events when a mouseover event occurs you have to register on the mouseover event:

		SelectFeatureControlInstance.registerEvent(feature, 'mouseover', this, function(str){ /*do something*/ }, ['foo'])

To use DragFeatureControl:

	This control can make your feature draggable and can throw events like: dragstart, drag and dragend. To make a feature draggable you must add the feature to the control:
	
		DragFeatureContrlInstance.addFeature(feature)

	To receive events like drag, dragend and dragstart you must register a listener:

		DragFeatureControlInstance.registerEvent(feature, 'drag', this, function(str){/* do something */}, ['foo'])


As in OpenLayers, to use this controls them must be added to the map.

Best Regards, 
André Matos
