RE: [udig-devel] Layer Selection
|
Hi!
"Perhaps getting interested views to ask the Map for a selection manger
tracking the selected view"
I think that is the sort of thing I had expected.
So when I set the selected layer using:
((EditManager)map.getEditManager()).setSelectedLayer(layer);
I expected the layer to be selected in the Layer View (which it now is
thanks to Jesse), and the Selection View to refresh displaying the
correct data.
I thought the setSelectedLayer method would fire a layer changed event
or something, and all the relevant bits would respond appropriatly.
Somethig like that would be great.

Um the Layers View is not supposed to be "magic". It should be a pure
"view" providing an indication of the "selected layer" from the current
Map Editor. I sent an article out yesterday about selection, should we
be handling this entire problem differently? Perhaps getting interested
views to ask the Map for a selection manger tracking the selected view
