[OpenLayers-Users] Register multiple map layers for same event... how???

[plen]

Eric,

Thanks for the response.  You have answered some of my questions in the past
and I appreciate it.  As for this question, I did find the SelectFeature
control you mentioned and was able to successfully add more than one
OpenLayers.Layer.Vector layer to the control and was able to register a
"featureselected" event via:

getFeaturesLayer1().events.register("featureselected", getFeaturesLayer1(),
fclick);

All works fine.  I orginally thought, however, that my real problem would be
solved in finding this solution, but it is not.  What I really need is to be
able to share events amoung two different types of layers.  For example, I
need to have an OpenLayers.Layer.Vector and an OpenLayers.Layer.Markers
share the same event (rather than two OpenLayers.Layer.Vector share the same
event).  Looking at the API for the SelectFeature control, it seems to
indicate that only OpenLayers.Layer.Vector layers can be used.  Is this true
or is there a way to have two different types of layers share the same
event?

Thanks again for any insight - Peter
