Drag&Drop to RadUpload control

[Mikael Adolfsson]

Hi,

I have a case where I would like the user to be able to drag files from the local computer and drop them onto the upload control.

I can set AllowDrop="true" and bind to the Drop event and read the files, but how do I add them into the RadUpload control so it can handle the upload to the server? (I'm using SL4) Here is an example:

<telerikInput:RadUpload AllowDrop="True" Drop="UploadControl_Drop" x:Name="UploadControl" ... />

private void UploadControl_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Data == null)
        return;

    foreach (FileInfo file in (FileInfo[]) e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop))
    {
        using (FileStream sr = file.OpenRead())
        {
            // the file can be read here.
        }

        // Could something like this be done (the code below does not work)
        RadUploadSelectedFile item = new RadUploadSelectedFile(file);
        UploadControl.Items.Add(item);
    }
}

Many thanks!

Hi Mikael Adolfsson,

This feature is planned for implementation when SL4 is RTM. It is not available now.
