I have the function below. Everything works fine except for the Push, Pop and Remove method. These method should be called by the event-handler. This event is fired by the google maps api.
The problem is that when the event is fired, these method are not found. I have a " Push is not defined " error message.
I tried with this but that's not working.
How do I call the public method from the event handler?
Thanks guys
function Track(mapContainer) {
var map = mapContainer;
var points = new Array();
var isEditMode = false;
var clickListener;
this.Push = function(point) { ... }
this.Pop = function() { ... }
this.Remove = function(point) { ... }
//Enable / disable the marker placements
this.PlaceWaypoint = function(isPlacing) {
if (isPlacing != true) {
if (clickListener != null) {
google.maps.event.removeListener(clickListener);
clickListener = null;
}
} else {
clickListener = map.AddEvent("click", function(event) {
if (!IsDoubleClick()) {
var point = map.PlaceMarker(new WayPoint(event.latLng))
point.RemoveListener(function() { Remove(point); });
Push(point);
} else {
Pop();
}
});
}
}
}
You've got a closure/binding problem. One convention that is frequently used it to assign a variable called self of that , which can later be used in place of this , thanks to the closure properties of JS.
function Track(mapContainer) {
var map = mapContainer,
points = new Array(),
isEditMode = false,
clickListener,
// Make a variable self that points to this, that can be used inside closures
// where the original context is lost
self = this;
this.Push = function(point) { ... }
this.Pop = function() { ... }
this.Remove = function(point) { ... }
//Enable / disable the marker placements
this.PlaceWaypoint =
function(isPlacing) {
if (isPlacing != true) {
if (clickListener != null) {
google.maps.event.removeListener(clickListener);
clickListener = null;
}
} else {
clickListener = map.AddEvent("click", function(event) {
if (!IsDoubleClick()) {
var point = map.PlaceMarker(new WayPoint(event.latLng))
point.RemoveListener(function() { Remove(point); });
// Use the closure reference self instead of this
self.Push(point);
} else {
// Use the closure reference self instead of this
self.Pop();
}
});
};
}
First of all Pop and Push is not global, second this in the inner scope has another meaning. So you can use closure and rename the " this " to variable of more global scope.
function Track(mapContainer) {
//....
var $this = this;
//Enable / disable the marker placements
this.PlaceWaypoint = function(isPlacing) {
if (isPlacing != true) {
if (clickListener != null) {
google.maps.event.removeListener(clickListener);
clickListener = null;
}
} else {
clickListener = map.AddEvent("click", function(event) {
if (!IsDoubleClick()) {
var point = map.PlaceMarker(new WayPoint(event.latLng))
point.RemoveListener(function() { $this.Remove(point); });
$this.Push(point);
} else {
$this.Pop();
}
});
}
}
}
this
always refers to the context of the current function, so if you use this
in your event handler it refers to that function calls this
, not the this
in your Track
function.
To create a closure that accesses the this
of an outer scope, you need to assign that this
to a new variable which can be accessed from the inner function:
var self = this;
this.PlaceWaypoint = function(isPlacing) {
// ...
self.Pop();
// ...
