[OpenLayers-Users] Click on OpenLayers.Feature.Vector

[Christoph Lingg]

btw. here is the adapted code example for anyone who might be interested in it:

layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("layer");
map.addLayers([layer]);

drag = new OpenLayers.Control.DragFeature(layer);
map.addControl(drag);
//drag.activate();
drag.onComplete = function(f) {
    drag.deactivate();
    click.activate();
};

click = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(
   [layer],
   {
       clickout: true, toggle: false,
       multiple: false, hover: false,
       toggleKey: "ctrlKey", // ctrl key removes from selection
       multipleKey: "shiftKey" // shift key adds to selection
   }
);
map.addControl(click);
layer.events.on({
               "featureselected": function(e) {
                    drag.activate();
                    alert('selected');
               },
               "featureunselected": function(e) {
                    alert('unselected');
               }
           });
click.activate();

ftr = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(new OpenLayers.Geometry.Point(1, 2)); // an icon
layer.addFeatures([ftr]);
