Type in distance on a radius search

[Anonymous]

Hello,
I would like to type in the distance of a radius search to get the exact distance needed. Is this possible to program? (after center down, capture key press)

thanks!

Hi Sarah,

Easiest way would be to call DigitizePoint() passing a callback function that prompts for a distance value. The callback function will be called, and passed a point which is the point you clicked on the map.

eg

---------------------------------

var callback = function(point) {
var dist = prompt("Enter the distance");

//Do something with the captured input, for example call a script via an iframe, xmlhttprequest or form submit, passing our captured values

};

mapFrame.DigitizePoint(callback);

------------------------

mapFrame would be a reference to the map frame in the ajax viewer.
