Map marker onClick event help required

[Michael1954]

I have a simple map control that is working as I hope.

The problem is I am failing to understand the data object available onClick

My code (Shortened) looks like this


for (i = 1; i <= rc; i++) {
var row = {dialog.object}._repeatingSectionLogicalToPhysicalRow('DETAILS',i);
var comp = {dialog.Object}.getValue('Trip_Company' + ':' + row);


var settings = {
group: 'mg1', // group that the marker is part of - an arbitrary name
icon: {
url: url1, // url of the image to use for the marker
width: false, // width of the image
height: false, // height of the image
anchor: {x: false, y: false} // anchor point of the image (this is the point in the image that will be the lat/lng of the marker)
},

//Here everything is fine each title sets correctly.

title: comp, // mouse over help text
detail: {
has: true, // whether or not the marker has a "detail". The "detail" is a popup that provides the user with more information when they click on the marker.
data: title1 // the data to display to the user
},
onClick: function(data){

//here comp is the last value found not the value I expect.


var txt = comp;

alert(txt);


}
};


var mapObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('trip_Map');
mapObj.addMarker(name,[lat, lng],settings);



//alert(comp + " " + i);
}

var mapObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('trip_Map');
mapObj.viewMarkerGroups('mg1');


Can some see what I am doing wrong?

Take a look at todays pre-release notes: http://downloads.alphasoftware.com/A...easenotes.html

Looks like Alpha has added a new method for this.

Thanks for the reply


I have mastered everything described in the video.

My problem is these functions


onClick: function(data){ }, // function to call when the user clicks on the marker



onDblClick: function(data){}, // function to call when the user double clicks on the marker
onDrag: function(data){}, // function to call when the user is dragging the marker
onDragEnd: function(data){}, // function to call when the user stops dragging the marker
onDragStart: function(data){}, // function to call when the user starts to drag the marker
onMouseDown: function(data){}, // function to call when the user mouses down on the marker
onMouseOut: function(data){}, // function to call when the user mouses out of the marker
onMouseOver: function(data){}, // function to call when the user mouses over the marker

Specifically the onclick event.

I don't understand "data" the object that is passed into the function

The help is confusing

/*
The 'data' object is passed into all events. You can get the lat/lng of the event location from this object. For example
var lat = data.latLng.lat();
var lng = data.latLnd.lng();
*/

I assume var lng = data.latLnd.lng(); should read data.latLng.lng(); but I just don't understand what latLng is and where it comes from.
