Hi Andrew,
OMGraphicHandlerLayer does all this automatically.
First, you have to set which mouse modes your layer should listen to.
This can be done in the properties by setting the 'mouseModes' property
to the MapMouseMode ID. Programmatically, you would call
setMouseModeIDsForEvents(String []) on the layer.
For mouse movement events, the mouse event mechanism will call your
layer's isHighlightable(OMGraphic) method. By default, this is true,
but you can override it so that the layer doesn't react to mouse
movement. When this method returns true, three other methods get
called:
getToolTipTextFor(OMGraphic) - return tool tip text, null for nothing
(default).
getInfoText(OMGraphic) - return anything you want put in the
InformationDelegator line, null for nothing (default).
highlight(OMGraphic) - change the appearance if you want, or do
nothing. By default, changes line color to select color.
unhighlight(OMGraphic) gets called when the mouse is no longer over
that OMGraphic.
For clicks, the isSelectable(OMGraphic) method gets called, and this
returns false by default. Returning true will cause the
select(OMGraphicList) method to be called, with that OMGraphic on that
list. deselect(OMGraphicList) gets called when something else has been
clicked on. getItemsForOMGraphicMenu(OMGraphic) gets called if the
right mouse button is being used for the click, and returning a List of
MenuItems will cause a pop-up to appear over the map.
if you return true to receivesMapEvents(), the layer will be called
with mouseOver(MapMouseEvent) and leftClick(MapMouseEvent) events not
occuring over any OMGraphics, and getItemsForMapMenu(MapMouseEvent) for
right clicks.
Javadocs for the layer have more information. Also, MapMouseEvents let
you ask them for the lat/lon directly.
