Re: [Gwt-openlayers-users] OpenLayers.Control.Button [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Couzic M. <mik...@gm...>]

Hi Vanessa,

If you feel like you should use OpenLayers.Control.Button, then just
implement it in GWT-OpenLayers !
That's how I became a contributor, I needed some functionnality that wasn't
implemented, so I just did it myself. It's not that hard, and you can always
ask for help if you need.
I have 2 advices to help you start :
 - develop a working example using OpenLayers in JavaScript. It will help
you get a grasp of the API. It doesn't have to be complicated, just do
something like this :
http://funmap.co.uk/openlayers-test/buttons.html
 - study an existing class of GWT-OL. Choose one that is as similar as
possible to the one you want to implement.

Please do not hesitate to ask for help if needed.
