QueryOnClick

Widget that send GetFeatureInfo requests when the map is clicked. Only visible layers are queried.

To display the query results, the widget must use one or more of theses widgets :

• ResultExtGrid
• FeaturePanel_Selector.

Note

This widget can’t be drawn with the drawWidget template. Instead, it must be added to one of the toolbar widgets :

• Toolbar
• GeoExtToolbar

Note

When added to the GeoExtToolbar, a dropDown is created. Its content gets populated by the following information (only one, in priority order) :

• the <text> node of the DataStore (if set)
• the resource name

dropDownList:

Can be set to true or false. Default value is true if ommited. Creates a SplitButton object if set to true instead of a regular button.

noMarker:

Can be set to true or false. Default value is false if ommited. Skip the creation of the markerLayer object resulting in adding no marker when the map is clicked if this option is set to true.
