Thierry: You cannot 'set the cursor' during a DragMove (the command is
simply ignored) so locking the cursor is moot.

Stephen: You seem to be correct... Works on Macs but not on Windows. Tried
v3.5 and v4.0, both refuse to change the drag cursor, even when dynamically
setting the dragAction to 'copy' or 'move'. The cursor does change, but only
between the 2 states of 'none' and 'copy/move'.

Looks like an engine bug.

--- Original problem
Does anyone know how to specify the drag cursor type? I am dragging images
around and want to display a 'copy' cursor (with a little plus sign) when
the ctrl key is down, a 'move' cursor (no little plus sign) when the ctrl
key is up, and a 'cantDrop' cursor when appropriate. The engine seems to
over-ride any attempt to 'set the cursor'.
