Mark,
I came across this thread. I want to add a custom cursor to Robert's famed eSearch. Like my site MapViewer - Savannah Area GIS has.
So what you'd do basically is set the cursor to a custom image ....
this.map.setMapCursor("url(images/cursor_parcel1.cur),auto"); // (the cursor image on my site above)
And when draw is deactivated...
this.map.setMapCursor("default");
I just need to make the tooltip move out of the way to the right but am still trying to figure out where they nestled that div away.
Today I am trying to understand how eSearch works for this. I see various things where Draw is active. I leave it active after clicking for my test site. And it's basically good, except that hitting Clear in the Graphic search tab deactivates draw but leaves the cursor image on. I am trying to figure that out. And I haven't really gotten to Identify yet either.
It's half-working, here... I still need to get it on better click handlers especially identify.

Also you need to make a .cur image file. It has to be a .cur file. I used this site: Cursor Editor because you need to choose the hot spot of the cursor, i.e. where it will be "active" and click on the screen.
So, a work in progress... I'll post back when complete!
