RadTreeView as DragCue

[paul orsillo]

I have a RadTreeView bound to a datasource (ObservableCollection<MyType>). When a child is dragged I want to show  the child and its immediate parent hierarchy in the dragcue. This chain may be a few levels deep. 

So for example if I select child c3 (with parent b3 who has parent a3) I would like the dragcue to show a treeview with 
--a3
    -- b3
         -- c3

This tree would actually be the same if I were to start by selecting a3 or b3. So in short I am dragging the entire local hierarchy.

I have the radtreeview and data structure for the dragcue implemented and loaded into a content control. My problem is that the tree is collapsed even though I call ExpandAll() on the dragcue treeview. I am using a HierarchicalDataTemplate and the treeiview appears to know that it has children (there is a  drop down indicator indcating that there is another level).

It looks like the RadTreeView wants to do the right thing but I am missing something. 

Is what I am trying to do possible? 

Thank you,

Paul

Hi paul orsillo,

You can use ContainerBindings to bind the IsExpanded property of the RadTreeViewItems inside the DragCue to an appropriate business property. Please have a look at the attched example illustrating a similar scenario and let us know if you need more info.

All the best,

Thank you Tina.

This is exactly what I needed and really quite simple.
