How to trigger a hover event for map graphics in ArcGIS Javascript API?

Question

I want to trigger an event when the user hovers over a geometry that they drew. I know how to set up hover events for DOM objects, but not for graphic elements within the map window.

Answer 1

The GraphicsLayer has an onMouseOver event (doc). Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Answer 2

dojo.connect(yourLayer, "onMouseOver", function(evt) { .... map.setMapCursor("pointer"); }

dojo.connect(map.graphics, "onMouseOut", function(evt) { map.graphics.clear(); map.setMapCursor("default");

}
