Popup Menu - Select

Besides using the toolbar's Select Mode, there are several other ways to select map objects. To see what these ways are, right-click in the mapping window and choose Select from the popup menu.

Note: Click on any of the Popup Menu items above to view specific help for that topic.

After you select features on the map, you can then view a report that provides information about the selected features, or you can adjust the map display to zoom to the selected features. The number and type of selected features are displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the mapping window.

If more than one map object is currently selected then it would display "2 'Address' selected" if the same object type is selected twice. Or, "4 feature(s) selected" if multiple object types have been selected.

Note: When you select a map feature, gMap (MapGuide) selects the feature by its key. Therefore, if you select a map feature that contains multiple points, each of which has the same key, each of those points will be selected. Similarly, if there are multiple features in the map with the same key, selecting one of those features will select all features that share that same key.
