Drag Drop Column to other Control

[Sven Jesper]

Hi

I need to "drag and drop" columns from a gridview to another control; for example a simple text box that just prints the header name when the column is droped on to it. 

I have mined the posts here and the WinFroms demo, all implementing on the drag and drop service:
  RadDragDropService dragDropService = this.radGridView1.GridViewElement.GetService<RadDragDropService>();
            dragDropService.PreviewDragOver += new System.EventHandler<RadDragOverEventArgs>(dragDropService_PreviewDragOver);
            dragDropService.PreviewDragDrop += new System.EventHandler<RadDropEventArgs>(dragDropService_PreviewDragDrop);

 However, it seems that PreviewDragOver  and PreviewDragDrop  events are fired only when hitting on the listed members here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/t_telerik_wincontrols_ui_listcontroldragdropservice.html 

and not a textbox or other generic container.

My question is: is there anyway i can allow and detect a column drop using some other code OR implement a new control that will implement the radservice

Thanks in advance.

Hello Sven,

Yes, your assumption is correct. Only controls which implement the described interface can benefit from the built-in drag & drop mechanism. In your scenario the best option is to implement OLE drag & drop. You can read more about that in this MSDN article.

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to ask.
 
Kind regards,
