GWP GetSelectedElementsInLayer()

Question

Geo Web Publisher GetSeletedElementsInLayer() doesn't work with cells. What do I need to do to make this work.

Hi, 
 I tried this method on my side and it works fine. There is a typo in your question; It should be GetSelectedElementsInLayer(). The letter "c" is missing. 
 Here is the code I used to test: 
 function getSelectedElementsInLayer (layerName) 
 { 
 try 
 { 
 var elementIds = ""; 
 var selectedElemVBArray = document.MapViewerControl.GetSelectedElementsInLayer(layerName); 
 var selectedElemArray = selectedElemVBArray.toArray(); 
 if (selectedElemArray.length > 0) 
 { 
 elementIds = elementIds + "----- " + layerName + " -----
"; 
 } 
 for (var j = 0; j < selectedElemArray.length; j++) 
 { 
 elementIds = elementIds + "Id:" + selectedElemArray[j] + "
"; 
 } 
 if (elementIds != "") 
 alert(elementIds); 
 else 
 alert("No element selected!"); 
 } 
 catch (errorObject) 
 { 
 alert ("Cannot get selected elements in the layer " + layerName + "

" + errorObject.description); 
 } 
 } 
 I tested with PNG and DPR point cells.
