Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I just downloaded Maestro and it appears that you can provide a link to display in the maptip.
Open the layer in Maestro, and on the right you will see a box named "Link". Use an expression similar to this one: Concat( Concat('<a href="http://www5.kingcounty.gov/kcgisreports/property_report.aspx?PIN=' , PIN), '">View Property Report for Parcel' ) To create a link in the maptip. This expression strings together a url with a variable "PIN" which is the Parcel Identification Number. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: mapguide-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapguide-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of DYUTI Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 9:22 PM To: mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: RE: [mapguide-users] window open hi.... thank u mark..... i chose this route because i'm using mapguide maestro.can i use" popup maptip with a link to window "in maestro? someone told me it can be used with studio only. thanx& regards dyuti Mark Pendergraft wrote: > > What you have looks pretty good, except that you will need to create a > box that covers your point for the mgPolygon. > > First you need to create a MgCoordinateCollection to populate a > MgLinearRing, then you use $geometryFactory->CreatePolygon(mgLinearRing, > nothing); > > Take a look at this function.
