[OpenLayers-Users] Styling a feature through drawFeature's constructor

[Alexandre Dube]

Krisitan,

You could register a "featureadded" event to your DrawControl to affect 
a unique style, something like this (untested) :

yourControl.events.on({
"featureadded": onPolygonDrawn,
scope: this
});

function onPolygonDrawn(event) {
var feature = event.feature;

// create a symbolizer from exiting stylemap
var symbolizer = feature.layer.styleMap.createSymbolizer(feature);

// apply the changes you want
symbolizer['fillColor'] = 'yellow';

// set the unique style to the feature
feature.style = symbolizer;

// redraw the feature with its new style
feature.layer.drawFeature(feature);
}

Regards,

Alexandre
