Map Cursors

[HaroldBostic]

Has anyone changed the map cursor for the map to a custom cursor?  If so, how?

Thanks

There is no "custom" cursors in Silverlight, other than the few predefined ones. Instead set the Map.Cursor=Cursors.None, and use the MouseMove event to move a usercontrol that represents the cursor around, so it looks like its a cursor that follows the map. Make sure you also set IsHitTestVisible on the cursor, so it doesn't block mouse interaction with the map.

I don't get how to move the usercontrol on the map.
The map is not a convas, so I can not set LeftProperty and TopProperty. Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

There is a nice sample of custom cursor here : http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=b77d416635a74e66ab222fe519af2eb7

Sample is good. How do I attach events to cursors. I have zoom in button, when user draws rectangle on Map and map will zoom accordingly. These cursors are images does not have any events.

The sample has zoomin and zoomout buttons, so you can look on how it's developed.

You don't need any events on cursor, you can use the map events as with standard cursors.

Hi

Zoom in/out buttons were fixed extent zoomin/out. I want to zoom in based on user drawn rectangle over the map, for this how do I go about?. I need to draw a rectangle with zoom in cursor?. Hope my question is clear.

Looks like we are not talking about the same sample.

I attached a screenshot of the zoomin command in action
