ArcGIS flex viewer 3.1 Identify Widget

ManuelRodriguez2 · ‎02-06-2013

I am fairly new to using custom widgets. I have copied the compiled widget folder over and added the text the the config.xml file. The widget loads correctly in the viewer but I can not get it to detect any features in the map at all. Even with the <layers onlythese="false">. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excellent Robert! When I specify the property layer in the widget it returns the results specified using any of the selection methods.
Thank you,
Andrew

Hi Richard

I build a new site in with 1 functional layer using App builder and copied over the your xml code to the config.xml for identify widget. But identify widget still does not work shows a message 'No Results Found'

Rosy,

Have you configured the IdentifyWidget.xml for your map service?

Rosy,

What what type of layer is it that you are trying to identify and is it an operational layer or basemap layer? Is it a secured layer?

RosyChawla1 · ‎03-22-2013

My application has a base map layer ( OpenStreetMap ). Link to my layers is

http://webgis2.h-gac.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/TIP_Call/RoadConstr_Projects/MapServer.

My goal is to be able to 'identify' features in following 2 layers.

TELUS.TELUS_ADMIN.tip_call_pts_1
TELUS.TELUS_ADMIN.tip_call_lns_1

I created a new application ( for testing purposes) with just the basemap & one layer and copied over the contents of IdentifyWidgets.xml ,as suggested in one of the threads.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎03-22-2013

Rosy,

I was able to add you map service to FV and use the identify on them just fine...

Robert,

Can you send me a copy of IdentifyWidget.xml that you used for this project? I think that'll really help me.

Thank You.
