[GIS] How to suppress moveend event while switching the base layer

eventsopenlayers-2

I have created a map that contains a two base layers (Google Street Map and Open Street Map). A moveend event listener is registered to listen for any map movement which would perform a function call to load in new data based on the bounds of the map view port. I realise that the function call is performed even when switching the base layer without causing any map movement. Is there a way to switch the base layer silently?

As requested, the code in brief:

var map;
var gmap_r = new OpenLayers.Layer.Google('Google Street Map');
var osm = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM('Open Street Map');
var options = {
  layers: [gmap_r, osm, markers]
...
};
map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', options);
map.events.register('moveend', map, my_function);
//code above used for triggering a call to my_function upon a map pan or zoom event

The change of base layer unfortunately triggers the above as well.

if you share your code, we can make a good point for you. addition to the moveend listener you can chek out OpenLayers.Control.DragPan method for your request.

function dragged(){
     console.info('map dragged');
};

var drag = new OpenLayers.Control.DragPan({'map':map, 'panMapDone':dragged});

drag.draw();
map.addControl(drag);
drag.activate();

i hope it helps you...
