Dragging the tile view via the Header

[Stephen]

Creating a DragQuery method for setting the drag cue only seems to work when dragging the contents. When dragging the header the drag image is alway the TileViewItem itself. This method is called but has no effect.

       private void TileViewDragQuery(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DragQuery)
                {
                    e.QueryResult = true;
                    e.Handled = true;


                    e.Options.Payload = sender as FrameworkElement;
                    e.Options.ArrowCue = RadDragAndDropManager.GenerateArrowCue();


                    // Create Drag Cue
                    // Create a ContentControl. It will be used as a DragCue.
                    ContentControl dragCue = new ContentControl();
                    // Use a DataTemplate to "say" how the dragged item will be displayed.
                    dragCue.ContentTemplate = mainGrid.Resources["DragCueTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
                    e.Options.DragCue = dragCue;
                }
                else if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DropSourceQuery)
                {
                    e.QueryResult = true;
                    e.Handled = true;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                throw;
            }
        }

Hello Stephen,
That's because when you're dragging the header of an item the RadTileView itself creates a DragQuery and sets the drag cue. You can try to stop this by setting the IsItemDraggingEnabled property to false.
If you have more questions feel free to ask.
