What's Here map module customization

Hi Geocortex users,

I am trying to upgrade my What's Here right click identify function with a workflow that takes the right click geometry in a workflow and selects a parcel polygon geometry if there is one and performs a polygon identify.  If not, the point identify will do.  If I have multiple layers, such as landmarks, wetlands, steep slopes and zoning layer and I perform a What's Here, I will need to perform What's Here on each and every feature, and that's not including any features that may be hiding under another layer, and multiple clicks for split zoning.  I would like to be able to use the What's Here mappoint to capture a parcel geometry and use it as a cookie cutter through my visible layers.  If I replace the What's Here identify command with a runworkflow command, I am unable to pass the What's Here geometry to the workflow.  I added the 'capture geometry' activity to the workflow, but that forces an additional left click to capture a mappoint.  Does this mean I have to build a custom capture geometry activity using the right click?  Does anyone have a solution for this?

  Hi Ken (and Ryan),

  You want to put a runworkflowwitharguments command in the rightclick context menu, add an input argument of type ESRI.client.geometry.geometry to your workflow, and then be prepared to get a point back.  From this point you can then use it in a query task as the input geometry and query your parcel layer. From the resulting parcel's geometry you could then use it as the input geometry of query to other layers.

   

  The first part of this solution (getting a point from a right click in the Silverlight viewer) was demonstrated in this years' advanced workflows video by Ryan.

  regards,

  Edmond
