Hi Alexandre, I got it working now. The Problem was that in the function that was triggered by the featureadded-event I tried something like feature.id and not evt.feature.id. I registered the event via "drawFeatureControlName.events.register("featureadded", ' ' , function)".
But, as always, one problem solved and another one evolves. As said before I want to apply a user-customizable style to each feature added. I´ve done this for example via "evt.feature.style = {fillcolor: "#FF9933", pointRadius: 10, strokeColor: 'black'}" and after that I´m redrawing the feature via "vectorLayer.drawFeature(evt.feature)". This works and the point is symbolized in the planned way. But when I select one of those points on the map the radius shrinks (I guess to the size of the default-style for point-Vectorfeatures) and the stroke is gone. Even when I unselect the feature it stays in this changed style. Now I tried to apply a stylemap with default- and selectStyle to the feature but that didn´t have any effect (the points stayed in their default-orange-style). Any idea how to solve this problem? Rulebased styling via a layerwide stylemap is no option cause as said above the user should be able to choose color etc. independently.
