Performing a task when the control is activated or deactivated

If you want to perform an action when the control is activated or deactivated, override the onActivate() and/or onDeactivate() methods from the base class:

mobileViewer. MyNewControl = OpenLayers.Class(mobileViewer.Control, 
{	
	initializeControl: function(options)
	{
	},
				
	onActivate: function()
	{
		alert(‘Hello World’);
	},
		
	onDeactivate: function()
	{
		alert(‘Gone Fishing’);
	}
});
