Change drag item text

[Ryan Black]

I am trying to programmatically change the drag item text for items in my TreeView using the default style.  I know by default it is using the .ToString() method of an object to display.

Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan Black,

You can examine a sample project showing how to create a custom DragCue dynamically. Basically, it uses the RadDragAndDropManager.DropInfo event. Please feel free to ask  if you need further assistance on this.

All the best,

Thanks for the detailed example.  That is close to what I want, however I want to use the default Telerik drag template and be able to set my custom drag item name.

Hello Ryan Black,

It actually doesn't use the ToString Method. You can see in the first attached project that the Default dragcue finds the Name property in the ViewModel that is bound via DataTemplate.
On the other had, you can play with the default style of the TreeViewDragCue that you may find in the second project.
Feel free to ask if you need further assistance on this.

Kind regards,
