Feature select on getfeatureinfo

[Marco]

When doing a getfeatureinfo request Heron shows the result as features on the map which are selected.

As I have multiple features lying on top of each other things get very unclear when selecting an object in the table.

Is there a way to force Heron NOT to select the added features?

I wouldn't mind to do some coding. Any pointers appreciated.

All display of Features (WMS GetFeatureInfo, Searches) is done by the
FeaturePanel:
https://github.com/heron-mc/heron-mc/blob/master/heron/lib/widgets/search/FeaturePanel.js
.

It has a config option to enable Feature selection:

/** api: config[featureSelection]
* ``Boolean``
* Should the feature geometries that are shown be selectable in
grid and map? Default ``true``.
*/
featureSelection: true,

WMS GetFeatureInfo uses
https://github.com/heron-mc/heron-mc/blob/master/heron/lib/widgets/search/FeatureInfoPanel.js
and internally FeaturePanel for eventual display, propagating any config
settings, so in theory it could be as simple as to set
featureSelection: false in your FeatureInfoPanel config.

Best,

Just

Hi Just,

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately my question was not very clear (as it seems to me as well when re-reading).

My problem was that I have multiple overlapping features. Then it becomes very unclear which feature is highlighted and which is selected.
What I meant to ask was "how to disable the initial highlighting keeping all selction functionality" instead of "how to disable initial selection".

In the end I solved the issue by choosing different colors for both highlight and selection. Now, for the user it's much clearer what's going on.

I did that by adding the following snippet to the FeatureInfoPanel:
                 vectorLayerOptions: {
                        noLegend: true,
                        displayInLayerSwitcher: false,
                        visibility: true,
                        rendererOptions: { zIndexing: true },
                        styleMap: new OpenLayers.StyleMap({
                                "default": new OpenLayers.Style({
                                    pointRadius: 6,
                                    strokeColor: "#ffff00",
                                    strokeOpacity: 0.8,
                                    strokeWidth: 3,
                                    fillColor: "#ffffff",
                                    fillOpacity: 0.5,
                                    graphicZIndex: 1
                                })
                        })
                  }
