    What is the best way to react to a shape being drag-dropped onto the diagram from the toolbox? At the moment I'm subscribing to the ItemsChanged event but I'm sure there must be a better way? I'm also doing things with drag-drop (shapes within the diagram) but this doesn't seem to relate to the toolbox.

    ok, I had seen DragDropService_PreviewDragDrop earlier but somehow forgot about it.

    Anyway, I've implemented it but mu dropTarget.Shapes collection is always empty.. Why would that be.

    I'll probably lodge a ticket now that I have been assigned a login.

    Hello Valentino,

    You can use the following code to get the diagram in the PreviewDragDrop event handler:
    public RadForm1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
     
        radDiagramToolbox1.ListViewElement.DragDropService.PreviewDragDrop += DragDropService_PreviewDragDrop;
    }
    void DragDropService_PreviewDragDrop(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.RadDropEventArgs e)
    {
        var diagramElement = e.HitTarget as RadDiagramElement;
        if (diagramElement != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(diagramElement.Items.Count);
        }
    }

    I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.

    Regards,
