Change Mouse Cursor when hovering a feature

oo — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 12:23:04 GMT

Is there a simple way to change the mouse cursor when I roll over an object (e.g. a street) on a feature layer? How?
Is the same possible for a DynamicMapServiceLayer e.g. via it's GraphicsLayer?

Features in ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer do not receive mouse events. You would have to use FeatureLayer to enable this.

Maybe you find this post helpful. Change the cursor after querying the server.

Thanks for the links.
I do not need a custom cursor. My plan was to listen to the feature layer's MouseEnter/Leave events and then trigger a cursor change (to another default cursor) like "Map.setMapCursor("pointer")" in the JavaScript API. But I can't find an equivalent method in the SiverLight API. What can I do?

There is a Cursor property on the Map.
By wiring up the MouseEnter and MouseLeave FeatureLayer events, you can change the cursor with code like:

 
private void FeatureLayer_MouseEnter(object sender, GraphicMouseEventArgs e)
{
  MyMap.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
}
private void FeatureLayer_MouseLeave(object sender, GraphicMouseEventArgs e)
{
  MyMap.Cursor = Cursors.Arrow;
}
