Hi,

We currently have a problem using treeview, collectionviewsource and drag n drop.
We need to order our items so we have used a collectionviewsource.
But we also need drag n drop and what I saw on Internet is that we can't use drag n drop with collectionviewsource.

Do you have any solution about that please ?

Thanks

Regards

Steeve

Hi LE DREAU Steeve,

We'll could you please elaborate more on your scenario? Why do you need CollectionViewSource and aren't you able to work with ViewModels only? I usually use CollectionViewSource for grouping Items of same type/property/parent etc. But drag and drop and item from one collection to another is allowed only if the collections are from equal type. Providing a more detailed info of your scenario would be highly appreciated and we would be able to provide with a better advice or workaround. Thank you for your cooperation.

All the best,

Hi,

My scenario is quite simple :
I have an object tree (with N levels of children). I would like to display this tree into a treeview. Each item must be ordrered alphabetically. So I thought I could do this with collectionviewsource (and it works but the drag n drop functionnality).
Is there any other way to do this without collectionviewsource ?

Thanks

Regards

Hi LE DREAU Steeve,

Yes, you could implement grouping and sorting without using a CollectionView. You can work with ViewModels and  perform the sorting in them. When retrieving a specific level`s data you can get it sorted like so:
ObservableCollectio<Item> rootLevel = new ObservableCollection<item>(context.Categories.OrderBy(x=> x.Name));
Could you please examine this blog post and this demo and let us know if they give you an idea or you need more info?

Best wishes,
