[OpenLayers-Users] How to programmatically open/close Popup?

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Steve,

You could manually trigger the "unselect" method of the ModifyFeature 
control to unselect the currently selected feature, something like this :

map.controls[7].selectControl.unselect(map.layers[1].selectedFeatures[0]);

Instead of using the control and layer from their arrays, I would use 
variable names (when creating them), like instead of doing 
map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control....), I prefer doing var myVar= 
new OL.ctrl.... and then map.addCtrl(myVar)

Also, instead of using onSelect and onUnselect methods of the 
ModifyFeature control, try registering "select" and "unselect" events on 
the layer, because the above solution won't work unless you do so.

Try that and tell me about it.

Best regards,

Alexandre
