Examples

MarkersPlugin catches marker click and sends MarkerClickEvent:

/**
 * Creates a marker layer
 * @private
 */
_createMapMarkerLayer: function() {
    var me = this,
        markerLayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector('Markers');
    markerLayer.events.fallThrough = true;
    // featureclick/nofeatureclick doesn't seem to be emitted, so working around that
    markerLayer.events.register('click', this, function(e) {
        if(me._waitingUserClickToAddMarker) {
            // adding a marker, handled in __mapClick()
            return true;
        }
        // clicking on map, check if marker is hit
        if (e.target && e.target._featureId) {
            me.__markerClicked(e.target._featureId);
        }
        return true;
    });

    this.getMap().addLayer(markerLayer);
    this.raiseMarkerLayer(markerLayer);
    return markerLayer;
},

/**

 * @param  {String} markerId which was clicked
 */
__markerClicked: function(markerId) {
    var sandbox = this.getSandbox();
    var clickEvent = sandbox.getEventBuilder('MarkerClickEvent')(markerId);
    sandbox.notifyAll(clickEvent);
},
