RE: [Mapbuilder-users] Making a Layer NOT appear in layer control widget

[Adair, M. <Mike.Adair@CCRS.NRCan.gc.ca>]

Bert,
 
Another way to do this would be to use 2 Context models in config, sharing
the same MapContainerId, both have a MapPane widget, but only one has the
LayerControl widget.  I tried doing that a while and it pretty much worked
right away but there were some issues - forget what they are right now - but
in principle that should work.

Hey Mike,

I have a backgorund layer, that is only there to look good and I do not want
it show up in layer controls. If there is no way to specify it in the config
file I'll just create a filter in the xsl file.

Bert,
 
Do you mean you want the layer visible in the MapPane but not in the
LayerControl?  I'm not sure that would be possible (or desirable?)  If you
really want to do something like that it would be best to do it in a  custom
LayerControl.xsl file.
 
I had planned on adding a <loadHidden>true|false</loadHidden> property for
MapPane in config, this would prevent loading of hidden layers when the
context is loaded, but that introduces some other possible problems.

Hi All,

How would one go about making a layer not appear in the layercontrol widget.
Can we set a parameter in the config file, or should we use a filter on the
layer name in the layercontrol.xsl file?
