Drag and Drop Rows Not Working

[Richard]

Hello,

I'm following the code example from : http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/grid/examples/programming/draganddrop/defaultcs.aspx

I have set up a ClientSettings tag and set the various flags as appropriate.  Drag and drop is not working on my grid.  Any ideas? I've pasted my RadGrad tag below.

Thanks in Advance!

<telerik:RadGrid
    ID="dgWorkflowItems"

I figured it out... DnD works when not in ClientIDMode="static".  My guess is that's a bug.  :-)

Thanks!

Hi Richard,

Please note that setting ClientIDMode of RadControls to Static is not supported.Static ClientIDMode is recommended to be used only for static controls. RadControls use complex hierarchies of child controls and templates and Static ClientIDMode will break their functionality. You should use AutoID mode especially when Ajax requests are performed by the controls.

Also have in mind that if the RadGrid has ClientIDMode="Static" none of the client side row specific events will fire as stated in this article.

I hope this information would be helpful to you.

Thanks, Viktor. 
It's a good explanation and it's very reasonable why static is not supported.

I would make the case, though, that the Control should show an error if the user tries to use an invalid value. 

Thanks, again!

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the suggestion.

If you would like you could add it as a feature request in our Ideas & Feedback Portal here. There it could be seen and voted for by other users. The more votes it has the highest priority it gets. If it gets popular enough it will probably be included in a future version of RadControls.
