Show an infobox from a link

Hello everybody,

I'm working on this since yesterday, I can't solve it.

I have added 3 pushpin to the map

Code Snippet

varmap =null;

varlayer01=null;

varpinID = 1;

varmapPopupID=0;

variLoadError=0;

vartmpShapeToPopup=null;

functionGetMap(){

map =newVEMap("mapVE");
map.SetDashboardSize(VEDashboardSize.Small);
map.LoadMap(newVELatLong(13.4419, -87.1419), 5 ,'h' ,false);
map.AttachEvent('onchangeview',ChangeViewManager);
map.AttachEvent("onclick",ShapeLayerAlert);
layer01 =newVEShapeLayer();
layer01.SetTitle("layer01");
map.AddShapeLayer(layer01);

}

functionaddPin(sLat,sLon,sImgPath,sTitle,sText){

varshape =newVEShape(VEShapeType.Pushpin,newVELatLong((sLat), -(-sLon)));
shape.SetTitle(sTitle);
shape.SetDescription(sText);
shape.SetCustomIcon(sImgPath);
layer01.AddShape(shape)
pinID++;
returnshape.GetID();

}

the three points are displayed on the map and into a table as text.

Now what I'm trying to realize is an hyperlink the make a zoom to the point selected by the user and then display the infobox.

I have done the center and zoom procedure but there is no way to dispaly the infobox.

here is the hyperlink generated when I add the pushpin (the first parameter is the shapeID returned by the addPin function:

link

when the user click on the hyperlink the following function is called:

Code Snippet

functionshowPopup(tmpID,sLat,sLon){

varobjCoords;
mapPopupID=tmpID;
objCoords=newVELatLong((sLat), -(-sLon));
map.SetCenterAndZoom(objCoords, 9);

}

here is the function that manage the view change event:

Code Snippet

functionChangeViewManager(e){

tmpShapeToPopup =layer01.GetShapeByID(mapPopupID);
map.ShowInfoBox(tmpShapeToPopup)

}

The problem is that the methodsshape.GetID() return a value that is not possible to use with the method

map.GetShapeByID

In order to use the methodsShowInfoBoxI need a shape object, and it seems that is not possible to retrieve it without an event that return this object.

to see the difference take a look at this function from MSDN:

Code Snippet

functionShapeLayerAlert(e)

{

if(e.elementID !=null)

{

shape =map.GetShapeByID(e.elementID);

layer =shape.GetShapeLayer();

alert("Shape ID " +e.elementID + "\nbelongs to shape layer '" +layer.GetTitle() + "'.");

}

in my code is called when you click over a pushpin, try to replace e.elementID with shape.GetID() and you will see the issue!

please help me!!

thanks

Marco
