Hey Don,
Thanks for the follow up on this.
The type of layer is an EditorLayer. So, to the best of my knowledge I do
have an OMDrawingTool that is configured to edit the graphic via the
EditorTool for the layer. In fact, I AM able to make the graphic editable
via this "controller" but it just requires an extra step from the user that
I find to be unnecessary. This step is that the user would have to click
back on the map before the graphic is "displayed" as editable (showing grab
points). Also, the important thing to understand is that it doesn't matter
where I click on the map. So after selecting to edit my graphic via my
Jtree, if the graphic is in the bottom right, I can click in the top left,
bottom left, top right, middle, anywhere on the map, and it will display the
desired graphic as editable.
In summary, I want to display a graphic as being editable by selecting it in
a component of my application that is external of OpenMap.
Thanks,
Adam
