boolean setUrlColumn(string column)
Sets the name of the column that contains the URL associated with each map feature.
This enables the user to go to a Web page that is related to a map feature simply by double-clicking that feature. Typically, you store HTTP URLs in this column, but you could also specify commands with other protocols, such as FTP URLs, or even JavaScript commands. Use caution, however, with non-standard protocols such as Javascript:, as not all browsers support them.
If this method is successful, it automatically sets the layer's rebuild flag to True. See setRebuild for more information.
Note that this method does not work during a busy state. For additional information about the busy state, refer to "Handling Busy State and Map Refresh" in the Autodesk MapGuide Developer's Guide.
column - The name that you want the URL column to be set to.
boolean - Returns True if successful; otherwise returns False.

This code is designed to work with the 1stfloorplanEx6.mwf file used by the Filter DWG Layers example:
function setProperties()
{
// Get the map and selected features
var map = getMap();
var mapSel = map.getSelection();
// Use the single map layer Floor Plan
var mapLayer = map.getMapLayer("Floor Plan");
// Get DWG data source object for the layer
var mapLayerSetup = mapLayer.getLayerSetup();
var dwgMapLayerDataSource = mapLayerSetup.getDwgDataSources();
dwgMapLayerDataSource.setUrlColumn("newUrlColumn");
}
