Drag&Drop Reorder: how to avoid that a child task is dropped on a different parent node

[Giorgio]

Hello,

Is there a way to avoid that during the ordering a task child of a summary node is dragged under another summary node?

I think that I have to do this overriding the GanttDragDropBehavior.CanDrop() function but I can't find how to know when the DestinationSlot changes his parent node

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi Giorgio,

You are correct in creating a custom GanttDragDropBehavior and overriding the CanDrop method. As the desired functionality does not come out of the box, I suggest creating a custom GanttTask in which you can include a property SummaryParent (of type CustomGanttTask) and set it for each non-summary task when populating the TasksSource.

This way in the overridden CanDrop method you can check whether the SchedulingDragDropState.DestinationSlot.Start.Date and End.Date are in the range of the (SchedulingDragDropState.DraggedItem as CustomGanttTask).SummaryParent.Start and End.

You can check our Drag and Resize Configurator example from our QSF examples for reference - http://demos.telerik.com/wpf/.

Hope this helps.
