removeListener not working

[Andrew]

Hi I have a listener called MyCountyListener that when the page is loaded you can click on anywhere in Illinois and an infowindow will popup with a link to that county's webpage. This works fine.

I want it so that when I click on the "Measure Distance" button below my map, this listener goes away, and therefore I will be able to draw a polyline. Right now I am only able to draw a polyline outside of Illinois. 

My page is here: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/alouchio/shared/mines.shtml

I currently have 

google.maps.event.removeListener(MyCountyListener)

in my draw polyline function, but that is not working. 

Thank you.

You seem to be adding the listener multiple times when you call

for (var i = 0, c = fs.length; i < c; i++) {
setupFeature(fs[i]);
}

but then you remove it only once.

What you can do instead is to add the map click listener as soon as
the map is created and leave it active, and then inside that function
check a global boolean variable, for example:

var drawing = false; // global
...

// Inside the click listener
if (drawing == true) {
// do one thing
}
else {
// do another
}

Thank you. This works well. In the else statement I changed it to i>c.

if (drawing==true){

var fs = rs.features;

  for (var i = 0, c = fs.length; i < c; i++) {

    setupFeature(fs[i]);

}

   }

else{

var fs = rs.features;

Assuming that rs.features is an array, this code doesn't make any sense at all. The loop in the else clause will run exactly zero times, because c (the array length) is greater than or equal to zero, and therefore i > c will be false the first time it's tested.

Yes you're right. I forgot I had placed a statement in the initialize function as I was just testing things out. I'll work on it some more. Thank you!

I actually changed the code somewhat by using this identify example. That way I only add a listener once instead of multiple times.

http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/arcgislink/examples/identify.html 

I did add the listener to the initialize function and then it was easy to remove the listener once i clicked on my measure tool button.
