Drag and Drop using MVVM

[Thomas]

Hello,

I'd like to implement drag and drop using the approach described in http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radtreeview-how-to-implement-drag-and-drop-between-treeview-and-listbox.html.

In there it is explained we should set TreeViewSettings.DragDropExecutionMode to New. When we do this, the mvvm command listening to the dragended event of the treecontrol is not working anymore.

How the new mode is working with mvvm commands?

Thx for your support

Hi Thomas,

Please have a look at this forum thread containing an attached sample project which deals with RadTreeView drag and drop with MVVM.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello,

this sample is very old and unfortunately does not use the TreeViewSettings.DragDropExecutionMode to New implementation of the treeview.

Hello Thomas,

The following events are only available with the Legacy DragDropExecutionMode:

• PreviewDragStarted

• DragStarted

• PreviewDragEnded

• DragEnded

This is why if you set the DragDropExecutionMode to New, these event won't be fired at all. The new DragDropExecutionMode takes advantage of the DragDropManager and its events. Unfortunately you can't attach handlers for the DragDropManager events in xaml. Instead you can create a custom behavior that makes sure to associate a DragDropManager event with a command.
