symbols / icons visiable but not selectable

KurtZachary · 08-03-2012, 03:30 PM

I have an odd problem where my icons / symbols (which are PointPlacemarks) show up on the map but are not selectable (can't double click them). I've noticed that when this happens I also don't get the hover over text. When I play around with the zoom it will usually start working again.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to stop this behavior?

KurtZachary,

There are many factors that could be causing this behavior. We'll need more information to diagnose the root cause. Could you please provide a screen shot illustrating a scene in which you can reproduce this issue, along with the steps necessary to reproduce it?

Thanks,
Dave

I wish I could provide a screenshot but my code is classified and runs on a classified system so providing details and screenshots is not possible. I realize this might mean that you can't help me but I can't break our security rules, it simply isn't an option.

I can say that this same behavior occurred when I used SurfaceIcons, UserFacingIcons or TacticalSymbols. I've also noticed that when it occurs the lat/lon displayed by World Wind is "off Globe".

I don't know if it matters but I'm on a 64 bit PC so I'm using the 64 bit JOGL libraries.

make sure your worldwindow is being given focus by your swing container.
