Hi Chris,
One thing you can do is create a MapMouseMode that does what you
want, and have the active MapMouseMode act as a proxy to it.
MapMouseModes have the capability to act as proxies to other mouse
modes, which means they funnel their events to another mouse mode
while appearing to still be active.
So, you could have your component switch the active MouseMode to
"Gestures" (or whatever), create your new MapMouseMode that listens
for a mouse click and calls back the location to your component, set
that mode on "Gestures", and remove the proxy when your component
gets the event.
Hope this helps,
Don
