[ka-Map-users] ka-Map-users Digest, Vol 46, Issue 3

[Bistrais, Bob]

Hi Mir,

I think your advice is helping.  But I am not sure how to pass the
variable to the .map file.  In my application, the user will select a
town name from a drop down box.  So I would like to pass the town name
as a variable to the .map file.  How do I do that?

Thanks,
Bob

Hello Bob !

Hiliting a feature on map would require you to add another layer for
hiliting.
For example, the way i do hilite as follows:

First, define the hiliting style:

  SYMBOL
    NAME 'circle'
    TYPE ELLIPSE
    FILLED TRUE
    POINTS 1 1 END
  END

Secondly, add a layer for hiliting:

  LAYER
    NAME 'districts_selection'
    DATA './districts'
    TYPE polygon
    STATUS off
    MINSCALE 9500
    METADATA
      "tile_source" "nocache"
    END
    CLASSITEM "OBJECTID"
    CLASS
      EXPRESSION ([OBJECTID] in '%districts_ids%')
      STYLE
        COLOR -1 -1 -1
        OUTLINECOLOR 115 223 255
        SYMBOL 'circle'
        SIZE 5
      END
    END
  END #end layer
Then, pass the ObjectID of the selected feature which needs to be
hilited to the new layer in map file..

Hope it helps.

cheers !
