Displaying Popups
In order to have the popups/tooltips display on hover and/or click accordingly, you will need to define an ALKMaps.Control.FeatureEvent control with the appropriate listeners. For further assistance implementing this, please reference the sample code below.
var featureEvent = new ALKMaps.Control.FeatureEvent([trafficIncidents], {
geometryTypes: ["ALKMaps.Geometry.Point"]
});
map.addControl(featureEvent);
featureEvent.activate();
var onHover = function(evt) {
// Shows tool tip when mouse over an incident
return trafficIncidents.onmouseover(evt.feature);
};
var onClick = function(evt) {
// Shows incidents description when clicking an incident.
return trafficIncidents.onmouseclick(evt.feature);
};
trafficIncidents.events.register("overFeature", trafficIncidents, onHover);
trafficIncidents.events.register("featureclicked", trafficIncidents, onClick);
