Get entity values on map click

[pariyani]

Hi,

 

 

 

Is there a way to get entity values (including short name, long name, id) by clicking on a map entity using javascript?

 

 

 

For example,

 

Lets say I click on the State of Texas on a US map and an alert box pops up saying "You clicked on Texas (TX) , Value='1234', entity ID='TX'."

 

 

 

I am sure this is easy but I couldn't find a solution in the forums. Can someone please help with this or point to a link where a similar query is addressed?

 

 

 

*update: The DB Schema does not have Long Names stored for any entity so that is not an option.*

 

 

 

Thanks.

Hi,

In this case you need to use your own code in javascript so that it returns the entity values.

Ref.- 

<set label='USA' value='235' link="j-myJS-NA,235"/>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!--

function myJS(myVar){

 window.alert(myVar);

}

//-->

 </SCRIPT>

Hope this helps.

Hey,

 

 

 

Thanks for the Code, but that was not what I was asking for. I specifically wanted to pull out long and short names of a map entity from the map object itself.

 

 

 

Anyways, I found the solution. The code is as follows:

 

 

 

In the chart XML:

 

<entity id='123' value='500' link='j-getEntityData-123'/>

 

 

 

 

 

//javascript Code

 

function getEntityData(id) {

 

var map1 = getMapFromId("mapid");

 

var entities = map1.getEntityList();//

 

var lName = "";

 

var sName = "";

 

for (i = 1; i < entities.length; i++) {

 

if (entities.id == id)

 

lName= entities.lName; sName= entities.sName;

 

}

 

alert("Long Name: "+ lName +", Short Name: "+sName);

 

}

 

 

 

Please let me know if there is a better solution than this.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.
