Hi, I'm using library 2011.1.315 and I'm having two issues related to the drag and drop feature.

1) Everything works fine when an item 'A' from the Grid is droped in folder 'B' in the Tree. But when I drop the same item 'A' in the same folder 'B' in the Grid, nothing happens. Everything seems to work but no action is taken. Why I can't move an item to another item inside the Grid?

2) The second issue is permission related. If I set folder 'B' permissions to: Permissions = PathPermissions.Read, and try to drag-and-drop anything to folder 'B', then the move action is correctly denied. But no message is shown to the user, the action is just cancelled and nothing happens. How can I show an error message to the user?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Santiago.

Hi Santiago,

Straight to the questions:
  1. This is the designed behavior of RadFileExplorer - at present Drag&Drop copy/move functionality is available only when dropped over the tree. I will log this request for further investigation and we will consider implementing the required functionality.
  2. I tried to reproduce the issue but to no avail. Could you open a formal support ticket and provide a sample fully runnable project reproducing the problem so we can examine and debug it locally?

Dobromir, 

You were right, the second issue was caused by a bug in our code. 

Thanks,
Santiago.

Hi,

Is there any news about the move/copy functionality in the grid of the file explorer? I am also interested in such functionality.

Thank you,

Hello Michael,

After further investigation, it turns out that it is not possible to implement such functionality with the current implementation of the RadGrid control. Currently the RadGrid is a single dropping area, and it is not possible to distinguish the different folder items.

Here is the public PITS item, where you and your fellow developers can vote and raise the priority of the feature request.
