[OpenLayers-Users] Displaying a popup on mouse over AND a different popup on click.

[Adrian Popa]

Hello everyone,

This is sort of a repeat message of "Re: [OpenLayers-Users] 
Labels/Tooltips on mouse over a Vector layer" - but with a slightly 
different idea.

Problem: I want to display a small div/popup with the marker's name when 
the user hovers his mouse over the location, and I want to display a 
bigger popup when the user actually clicks on the location.

Current status:
* I can use {hover: true} to register featureselected/featureunselected 
when I hover over a marker instead on when I click on the maker.
* I haven't found any events that could differentiate between hover and 
click

I'm thinking I could register my select control with hover: true and 
allow featureselected to execute the same function for both when I click 
on the makrer as well as when I hover over the marker. I would  like to 
know if there's any way to find out in the event inside the function if 
the user clicked or not his mouse. Depending on this, I would show one 
popup or the other.

Something like:

select = new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(markers, {clickout:true, 
hover:true});
       markers.events.on({ "featureselected": onMarkerSelect, 
"featureunselected": onMarkerUnselect, "visibilitychanged": 
onMarkerToggle });
       map.addControl(select);
       select.activate();

function onMarkerSelect(event){
   var feature = event.feature;
   //find out if the user clicked or not
   var clicked = event.*findAWayToSeeIfTheUserClicked()*;
   if(clicked){
      //show larger popup
   }
   else{
      //show smaller popup
   }
}

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Adrian
