Drag and Drop to grid

[robert]

I notice that when using the Items Drag and Drop example on your web site, and experimenting with it in my own code, you must drop dragged rows on rows in the destination grid to trigger the postback.  If you drop on the header or an empty part of the grid body, nothing happens (and it's not because it is being cancelled by the client side OnRowDropping event handler). 

Can this behavior be modified to allow triggering a postback no matter where you drop on the destination grid? If there are no rows in the grid it makes the target area uncomfortably small.  If you don't need to know the location where the drop occurs, the requirement to drop on rows is too restrictive.

Thank you for the information on drag and drop.  Unfortunately, it did not answer my specific question.  Why is the drop postback only triggered when you drop directly on rows in another grid, and not when you drop on other parts of the grid, like the header or part of the body where rows don't exist?  Is it possible to get this to happen?

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately dropping item on RadGrid's header is not supported scenario. Dropping an item is allowed only inside the body of the grid (within the rest of its data items).

Regarding the server side event RowDrop - it is fired every time when dragged items are dropped.
