Class: InfoWindow
[ AMD Module Require | Legacy Module Require ]
dojo.require("esri.dijit.InfoWindow");
Description
(Added at v1.0)
An InfoWindow is an HTML popup. It often contains the attributes of a Graphic. Prior to version 3.4 the info window was the default popup window. After version 3.4 the Popup is the default. To use the InfoWindow as the popup window assign it using the Map's infoWindow constructor option.
require(["dojo/dom-construct", "esri/dijit/InfoWindow"], function(domConstruct , InfoWindow) {
var infoWindow = new InfoWindow({}, domConstruct.create("div"));
infoWindow.startup();
var map = new esri.Map("map", {
basemap: "streets",
infoWindow: infoWindow
});
});
The default behavior on a Graphic is to show the InfoWindow after a click on the Graphic. An InfoTemplate is required for this default behavior. In addition, the InfoWindow can be used to display custom content on the map.
Note: Only one info window is displayed on the map at a time.

trueMethod Details
Helper method. Call destroy on dijits that are embedded into the specified node. Sub-classes may need to call this method before executing
setContent logic to finalize the destruction of any embedded dijits in the previous content.Moves the InfoWindow to the specified screen point.
Parameters:
< |
Required | The new anchor point when moving the InfoWindow. |
Helper method. Place the HTML value as a child of the specified parent node.
Parameters:
< |
Required | A string with HTML tags or a DOM node. |
< |
Required | The parent node where the value will be placed. |

InfoWindowParameters:
< |
Required | The content for the InfoWindow. Can be any valid HTML or DOM element. |
Sample:
map.infoWindow.setContent(graphic.getContent());
Sets the fixed location of the InfoWindow anchor. Valid values are listed in the Constants table.
Parameters:
< |
Required | Fixed anchor that cannot be overridden by InfoWindow.show(). See Constants table for values. |
This method is called by the map when the object is set as its info window. The default implementation provided by InfoWindowBase stores the argument to this object in a property named map and is sufficient for most use cases.
Parameters:
< |
Required | The map object. |
Sets the title for the InfoWindow. View the Format Info Window Content help topic for more details.

InfoWindowParameters:
< |

Parameters:
< |
Required | Location to place anchor. |
< |
Required | Location is an instance of esri.geometry.Point. If the location has a spatial reference, it is assumed to be in map coordinates otherwise screen coordinates are used. Screen coordinates are measured in pixels from the top-left corner of the map control. To convert between map and screen coordinates use Map.toMap and Map.toScreen. |
< |
Optional | Placement of the InfoWindow with respect to the graphic. See the Constants table for values. |
Sample:
map.infoWindow.show(location,esri.dijit.InfoWindow.ANCHOR_UPPERRIGHT);

Helper method. Call startup on dijits that are embedded into the specified node. Sub-classes may need to call this method right after displaying the info window, passing in a reference to the content node.
This method is called by the map when the object is no longer the map's info window. The default implementation provided by InfoWindowBase clears the argument property "map" from the object and is sufficient for most use cases.
Parameters:
< |
Required | The map object. |
