RE: dbf file and ToolTips

In OpenMap 4.5.3 if you import your shape files to a PluginLayer using
the EsriPlugin the data from the shapes will automatically display a
tool tip of dbf information when mousedOver. You can also view the dbf
table information from the palette of the plugin layer if you use this
method.

Subject: dbf file and ToolTips

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie with OpenMap. I use it to display maps in shapefile format.
I
want to display tooltips on the map.
The informations displayed in the tooltips will be got from the dbf
file.
Until now I didn't understand how to read the dbf file with OpenMap.
After a
look in the mailing list archives I think OpenMap can't read the dbf
file
and I have to convert my dbf file in a csv file using excel. It is right
?
Then how can I use the csv file to get tooltips containing the data from
a
column of the csv file ?

Thanks for your help.

Stéphanie.
