Drag Cue Positioning`

[Charles]

I have a large-ish drag cue, and I need to be quite precise about where the drop is going to happen (it's into a RadRichTextBox, so position in the text is important).

Is there any way I can control the position of the drag cue?  At present, the mouse pointer is somewhere in the middle of the control I'm using.  It appears it does something similar in most of the demos, too.  I would like the cue to be drawn with the top left (0,0) starting at the mouse pointer position - then I'd be able to see what is under the mouse pointer.

Any help appreciated!

If anyone's interested, a workaround that seems to get you pretty much there is setting Margins on the cue object before you assign it, e.g.

dragCue.Measure(new Size(double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity));
dragCue.Margin = new Thickness(e.Options.MouseClickPoint.X, dragCue.DesiredSize.Height / 2, 0, 0);

Though if there's some way of changing the positioning in the DragDropQueryEventArgs that I've missed, or another better way of doing this, please let me know!

Hello,

You can use the RadDragAndDropManager.DragCuewOffset property to manipulate the position of the drag cue. 

Hope this helps!
