HSLayers.Control.Query

HSLayers.Control.Query: user can click in the map and every MapServer or WMS layer is queried and results are rendered into some div or OpenLayers.Popup.

Query tool is able to parser text, html, xml or GML (both MapServer and ArcIMS).

// let's define some example query
var query = new HSLayers.Control.Query({
            horizontal:false,
            container:this.mapViewer.infoPanel,
            displayClass: "hsControlQuery",
            scope:this,

            onInfo: function() {
                    this.mapViewer.toolsPanel.activate(1);
                    var features = HSLayers.Util.geoMicroformatParser(this.mapViewer.infoPanel.body.dom,this.origProjection,this.map.getProjection());
                    this.addFeaturesToMap(features);
                }
            });

// register some events
query.events.register("beforeQuery",this,function(){this.mapViewer.toolsPanel.activate(1),this.mapViewer.infoPanel.maskOn();});
query.events.register("afterQuery",this,function(){this.mapViewer.infoPanel.maskOff();});
this.mapToolBar.addControls([query]);

pane.addControls([query]);
