Hi brianwmunz, I have prepared a code modification to allow to do what you mentioned. I have thought to propose a "Pull Request" for this change.
The change is: https://github.com/jorix/openlayers/commit/3547c7aeb81de5cc68db80d3e089a04dfc85e256 An example of use: // listeners var onFeatureSelect = function(evt) { alert("Selected feature id =" + evt.feature.id + (evt.boxSelection?" by BOX":"")); }; var onFeatureUnselect =function(evt) { alert("Unselected feature id =" + evt.feature.id); }; var onBoxSelection =function(evt) { alert("Box selected " + evt.features.length + " features"); }; // select control var selectCtrl = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(layerVector, { clickout: true, box: true, eventListeners: { boxselection: onBoxSelection } }); layerVector.events.on({ 'featureselected': onFeatureSelect, 'featureunselected': onFeatureUnselect }); map.addControl(selectCtrl); selectCtrl.activate(); NOTE: Is not used "onSelect" and "onUnselect" of SelectFeature so they are considered deprecated (even that is not documented and some examples still use them) Sorry, SelectFeature is a road full of obstacles for beginners, and sometimes for those who are not ;-/ Xavier Mamano wrote > > Thanks for your quick response. > I'm somewhat new to OpenLayers, so your example is a little over my head > right now :) > Could you please explain a little more?
