panel.defaultControl not functioning as expected

[hpbrantley]

When you create a panel and set a defaultControl, it is expected that this control be active by default. It is highlighted but not active. Calling panel.activateControl(CONTROL); after the map object is created seems to solve it.

See  http://maps.cpc-fis.vanderbilt.edu/defaultControlBug.html for example.

When the map is initialized, it loops through the controls with code:

for(var i=0; i < this.controls.length; i++) {

this.addControlToMap(this.controls[i]);

}

Could this be modified to something like:

for(var i=0; i < this.controls.length; i++) {

this.addControlToMap(this.controls[i]); if(this.controls[i].defaultControl) {

this.controls[i].activate();

}

}

After further investigation I believe this is in the navigation tool. When it is enabled, the pan becomes default regardless. If this is not enabled, defaultControl works as expected.

That's correct. I'm closing this ticket since there seems to be no problem with Panel.defaultControl. Feel free to reopen if you think I'm missing the point and there actually is an issue.
