Interface for mouse cursor symbols?

DavidNewman — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:44:51 GMT

I haven't been able to find documentation on this, if it exists. Is there a programmatic way to connect symbols to the mouse cursor in the way that the "Create Features" pane does? I've looked at ISystemCursor, but it doesn't appear to control that functionality.

Thanks,

Hi,

i don't know if it's what you are looking for, but this line change cursor to an hourglass cursor mouse

System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;

Other type of cursor are available. Normal cursor is Cursors.Default

Thanks, but I'm not looking for the standard cursors. I'm trying to change the cursor to match the symbol of a map feature.

Hi,

If you've not already solved this you can do something like this on your onmousedown event.

function changeCursor(cursors) {
    switch (cursors) {
        case "pan":
            dojo.byId("Map_Panel_layers").style.cursor = "url('images/cursors/hndopen.cur'),crosshair";
            down = dojo.connect(map, "onMouseDown", function(evt) {
                dojo.byId("Map_Panel_layers").style.cursor = "url('images/cursors/hndclosed.cur'),crosshair";
            });
            dojo.connect(map, "onMouseUp", function(evt) {
                dojo.byId("Map_Panel_layers").style.cursor = "url('images/cursors/hndopen.cur'),crosshair";
            });

            //dojo.byId("map_zoom_slider").style.cursor = 'default';
            //dojo.byId("map_infowindow").style.cursor = 'default';
            //dojo.byId("navToolbar").style.cursor = 'default';
            break;
            
            }
            
            }
