Hi, I am new to ArcGIS JavaScript API, I would like to create custom tool on my web app, I search internet, it seems all I can find is custom widget, for example I want to develop custom tool when click the map just display the x, y values in a custom dialog showing where the mouse clicked, and query the feature layer. how can I get started? The following is the sample I took from esri website and I want to add my custom tool to the group, but it does not work. I don't know what I did wrong here, Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.
