    Hello Sridhar,

    Thank you for writing.

    From your explanation I was not able to get a clear idea as of what is wrong and what is not working correctly. I would kindly ask you to send me a more detailed explanation so I will be able to help you.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Hi there,

    My customer need to drag/drop a row from a RadGridView which contains some files with the fullpath to his windows explorer to get a copy of it. Do you know if it's possible ? Maybe there is an other solution than RadGridView ? 

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Mathieu,

    Thank you for writing.

    To achieve the desired behavior you can use the standard drag and drop functionality. For example if you have a column that contains a file path you can copy it to a folder like this:
    void radGridView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        GridDataCellElement el = radGridView1.GridViewElement.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location) as GridDataCellElement;
     
        if (el != null)
        {
            string path = (string)el.Value;
     
            if (File.Exists(path))
            {
                string[] filesToDrag =
                {
                    path
                };
     
                DataObject dob = new DataObject();
                dob.SetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, filesToDrag);
                this.radGridView1.DoDragDrop(dob, DragDropEffects.Copy);
                 
            }
        }
    }

    I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

    Hi Dimitar,

    Thanks for the reply. Your reply was really helpfull but i'm using it on a different way (playing with MouseDown Location and MouseMove). It's working great.

    I just have an issue with the Drag Mouse, it always unselected all the row and keep only the row when i'm starting the drag.

    Is there a property to disable the DragMouseSelectRow (?)

    Regards,
    Mathieu

    Hello Mathieu,

    Thank you for writing back.

    If I understand correctly you want the the grid rows to remain selected when you drag and drop them in the explorer. This can be achieved by creating a custom grid behavior. For example:
    public class CustomGridBehavior : BaseGridBehavior
    {
        List<GridViewRowInfo> selectedRows = new List<GridViewRowInfo>();
     
        public List<GridViewRowInfo> SelectedRows
        {
            get
            {
                return this.selectedRows;
            }
        }
     
        public override bool OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnMouseDown(e);
     
            return base.OnMouseUp(e);
        }
     
        public override bool OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            selectedRows.Clear();
     
            selectedRows.AddRange(this.GridControl.SelectedRows);
     
            return true;
        }
    }

    The behavior can be changed as follows:
    radGridView1.GridBehavior = new CustomGridBehavior();

    Also you can recreate the MouseDown event in order to copy all the files:  
    void radGridView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        GridDataCellElement el = radGridView1.GridViewElement.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location) as GridDataCellElement;
     
        if (el != null)
        {
            if (ModifierKeys == Keys.None)
            {
                string[] filesToDrag = new string[radGridView1.SelectedRows.Count];
                for (int i = 0; i < radGridView1.SelectedRows.Count; i ++)
                {
                    string path = (string)radGridView1.SelectedRows[i].Cells[0].Value;
                    if (File.Exists(path))
                    {
                        filesToDrag[i] = path;
                         
                    }
                }
                     
                DataObject dob = new DataObject();
                dob.SetData(DataFormats.FileDrop, filesToDrag);
                this.radGridView1.DoDragDrop(dob, DragDropEffects.Copy);
            }
        }
    }

    I hope this helps.
