I think you should be able to reference the MapGuideViewerAPI.js script from 
your aspx page, and then just call DigitizePoint directly without any 
window.top or parent references.

It should also be possible to add a reference to MapGuideViewerAPI.js to the 
index.html file in the Fusion template you're using, and reference it using 
window.top...

It's been a while since I've played around with this stuff, so someone else may 
be able to provide specifics...

Subject: [mapguide-users] parent.parent.parent.mapFrame - AJAX vs FUSION

Hi List,

I'm making steady progress with my project and learning many things about 
MapGuide along the way thanks largely to the help from those on this list - 
many thanks to those who have helped so far

In both AJAX and FUSION I'm working from the taskpane and using the markup 
scripts that are part of the AJAX demo's and tutorials.

I assume I need to substitute either 'Fusion' or 'window.top.Fusion' somehow 
for 'parent.parent.parent.mapFrame.DigitizePoint(OnPointDigitized);'. in my 
script however I have yet to do this in such a way that it works.  I keep 
getting 'Object doesn't support this property or method'.

So for example in my editmarkup.aspx code for example, I have the following 
function which should be activated when I click the digitize point button

            function AddPoint()
            {
                  SetDigitizeInfo(EDIT_POINT_HELP);
                  parent.parent.parent.mapFrame.DigitizePoint(OnPointDigitized);
            }

In Fusion this code gives an error 'parent.parent,parent.mapFrame' is null or 
not an object

I see that in MapGuideViewerAPI.js

function DigitizePoint(handler) {
    if (handler) {
      var Fusion = window.top.Fusion;
      var mapWidget = Fusion.getWidgetById(mapWidgetId);
      var digitizer = new Fusion.Tool.Canvas.Point(mapWidget);
      digitizer.mouseUp = PointHandlers.prototype.mouseUp;
      Object.inheritFrom(digitizer, Fusion.Tool.Canvas.prototype, []);
      digitizer.initializeCanvas();
      var activeWidget = mapWidget.buttonSet.activeButton;
      mapWidget.buttonSet.setActiveButton(null);
      digitizer.handler = function() {
          handler.apply(null, arguments);
          activeWidget.setActive(true);
      }
      digitizer.activateCanvas();

      //add a listener to update the position of the features
      var mapWidget = Fusion.getWidgetById(mapWidgetId);
      mapWidget.registerForEvent(Fusion.Event.MAP_EXTENTS_CHANGED,
        function(){
          digitizer.updatePx();
          digitizer.clearContext();
          digitizer.draw(digitizer.context);
        }
      );
    }
}

Thanks
Fraser
