[OpenLayers-Users] How to prevent PanZoomBar clicks from propagating to Click control

[Rohan Parkes]

Thanks for your reply.

I didn’t post the code, because it's trivial, and straight out of one of the
online demos.

But here it is:

OpenLayers.Control.Click = OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Control, {

                defaultHandlerOptions: {
                    'single': true,
                    'double': true,
                    'pixelTolerance': 0,
                    'stopSingle': true,
                    'stopDouble': false
                },

                initialize: function(options)
                {
                    this.handlerOptions = OpenLayers.Util.extend(
                        {}, this.defaultHandlerOptions
                    );
                    OpenLayers.Control.prototype.initialize.apply(
                        this, arguments
                    );
                    this.handler = new OpenLayers.Handler.Click(this,
{'click': this.trigger}, this.handlerOptions);
                }, 

                trigger: processMapClick
     });

processMapClick() just has a call to setCenter(), so the map re-centres to
wherever the user clicks.


The problem is that if the user clicks on the zoom bar, the map, as well as
zooming, also pans. So presumably the click event is going through to the
map as well. This doesn’t happen if they click on the end icons of the zoom
bar, so presumably there is some way of preventing them from going through
to other elements.

I tried adding a handler to the PanZoomBar to try to filter the clicks, but
my attempt was probably very naïve.

I'm not sure I fully understand what your custom control is supposed to do.
However, you can have a look at the fallThrough config option for the
Map object. It may help.

If not, please show us some code.
