Hi everyone,

 

I have been asked by users to make the Identify Tool automatically active when the viewer loads.

 

I found this post from 2012 but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm currently working in Geocortex Essentials 4.7  and Viewer for HTML5 2.8 and have the Toolbar open by default.

 

Thanks for any assistance!

 

Gary

  Why not use MapTips? You can configure them to show the relavent information / links / photo / etc.

  Hi Odiri,

   

  Thanks for that suggestion.

   

  I will take a look at that function as an option.

  If it helps, I had a javascript module that I added to:

   

  1) Within the constructor, I listened for the SiteInitializedEvent and had it call a function called onSiteInitializedEvent

   

  2) Within the onSiteInitializedEvent function, I ran the setActiveTool function of the toolRegistry and passed in the name of the tool I wanted to activate at the statup: this.app.toolRegistry.setActiveTool("POCTool");

   

  3) If you want to get clever, one could pass in the name of the tool appart of the URL string that launches the viewer or as a configuration parameter of the module itself.
