I am trying to implement drag and drop on the radchart. I am able to make it to work when you drop columns on the chart. However I want to only be able to drop on the chart axis (either y or x). is that possible?

Thanks

Hi Mher,

The following example demonstrates a similar functionality:

http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Chart/DragAndDrop

You can drop the dragged item anywhere on the other chart - area, axis. Would you like to restrict some of these areas? Any additional information will help us better address the question at hand.

Best wishes,

Yes I want to restrict drop to only the y or x axis. In addition I want to highlight the axis when mouse is hovered over it.

I used the telerik event manager to inject a drop event to the Axis like this:

Telerik.Windows.EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(AxisX2D), RadDragAndDropManager.DropInfoEvent,
              new EventHandler<DragDropEventArgs>(XAxis_DropInfo));

However, this will inject the event on all such objects on the current visual tree.
so if i have multiple charts on the page the event will fire multiple times.

Is there any other way to do this? I noticed Infragistic graphs have support for this out of the box.
They have various mouse events on the chart axis.

Hello Mher,

Another approach which you can consider is reteplating the Axis which needs modifying. This may look something like this:

<Style      
              TargetType="telerik:AxisX2D" >               
              <Setter Property="Template" >
                  <Setter.Value>
                      <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:AxisX2D">
                          <Grid Margin="{TemplateBinding Margin}">
                              <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                                  <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
                                  <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
                                  <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
                                  <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
                                  <RowDefinition Height="auto" />
                              </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                               
                              <Line x:Name="PART_AxisLine"                                
                            dragDrop:RadDragAndDropManager.AllowDrop="True"      
                            StrokeThickness="20" 
                            Grid.Row="{TemplateBinding InnerPosition}" 
                            MouseMove="PART_AxisLine_MouseEnter"
                            MouseLeave="PART_AxisLine_MouseLeave"                                      
                            Style="{TemplateBinding AxisLineStyle}"
                            VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding AxisLineAlignment}" />
                              <ItemsPresenter Grid.Row="{TemplateBinding InnerPosition}" Visibility="{TemplateBinding AxisTicksVisibility}" />
                              <telerik:VerticalMinorTicks2D x:Name="PART_MinorTickPoints" 
                                                            Grid.Row="{TemplateBinding InnerPosition}" 
                                                            Visibility="{TemplateBinding AxisMinorTicksVisibility}"
                                                            VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding AxisLineAlignment}" />
                              <telerik:HorizontalAxisLabels2D Grid.Row="2" x:Name="PART_AxisLabels" Visibility="{TemplateBinding AxisLabelsVisibility}" />
                             
                          </Grid>
                      </ControlTemplate>
                  </Setter.Value>
              </Setter>
              <Setter Property="ItemsPanel" >
                  <Setter.Value>
                      <ItemsPanelTemplate >
                          <telerik:AxisXPanel />
                      </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                  </Setter.Value>
              </Setter>
          </Style>

Essentially, this style will only allow drop on the xAxis. However, since the drag/drop manager supresses mouse enter/leave events on the elements in the controls, you cannot style the axis once you hover over it.

All the best,

Hi Yaovr / Telerik Team,
Do you have an example of the tempalte style for the YAxis? I want to be able to drop items onto the Y Axis Category Label. I currently have a chart that you can drop onto the series but the problem is if the series value is zero there is nothing to drop onto so I need to be able to drop onto the Category Label too.

Thanks,

Rory H.

Hi,

The following topic:

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radchart-styling-and-appearance-styling-axes-overview.html

elaborates on the possible options to style/retemplate different elements of the control. I hope this gets you started properly.

Kind regards,

Hi Yavor,
 Thanks for you reply. I got a drop to the axis label to work using the following style template.

<Style TargetType="telerik:AxisLabel2D">
            <Setter Property="dragDrop:RadDragAndDropManager.AllowDrop" Value="True" />
            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch" />
            <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Top" />
            <Setter Property="ItemLabelStyle">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                        <Setter Property="TextAlignment" Value="Center" />
                        <Setter Property="Padding" Value="1" />
                    </Style>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>
