Drag from ListView to Panorama

[jesse]

I would like to Drag an item from a RadListView into a Panorama, which in turn would create a new tile based on some data from the dragged Item, can someone point me to documentation or code that does something like this?

Hi Jessie,

Thank you for writing.

For the purpose, you should use the DragDropService of RadListView. Here is a small example to get you started:

private void DragDropService_PreviewDragDrop2(object sender, RadDropEventArgs e)
{
    if (radPanorama1.ShowGroups)
    {
        TileGroupElement hoveredGroup = radPanorama1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.DropLocation) as TileGroupElement;
        if (hoveredGroup != null)
        {
            RadTileElement newTile = new RadTileElement();
            newTile.Text = ((SimpleListViewVisualItem)e.DragInstance).Data.Text;
            hoveredGroup.Items.Add(newTile);
            //newTile.row
            //newTile.Column
            //newTile.RowSpan
            //newTile.ColSpan
        }

        RadTileElement hoveredTile = radPanorama1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(radPanorama1.PointToScreen(e.DropLocation)) as RadTileElement;
        if (hoveredTile != null)
        {
            TileGroupElement tileGroup = hoveredTile.FindAncestor<TileGroupElement>();
            if (tileGroup != null)
            {
                RadTileElement newTile = new RadTileElement();
                newTile.Text = ((SimpleListViewVisualItem)e.DragInstance).Data.Text;
                tileGroup.Items.Add(newTile);
            }
        }

        RadPanoramaElement hoveredControl = radPanorama1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(radPanorama1.PointToScreen(e.DropLocation)) as RadPanoramaElement;
        if (hoveredControl != null)
        {
            RadTileElement newTile = new RadTileElement();
            newTile.Text = ((SimpleListViewVisualItem)e.DragInstance).Data.Text;
            hoveredControl.Items.Add(newTile);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        RadTileElement newTile = new RadTileElement();
        newTile.Text = ((SimpleListViewVisualItem)e.DragInstance).Data.Text;
        radPanorama1.Items.Add(newTile);
    }
}

Thank you, this was most helpful.  The only issue i have now is that when there are several tiles in a group, moving them is *very* slow.  Is there a way to improve that by maybe turning off the animation?

Hello Jesse,

I am unable to replicate slow down with the tiles in the panorama. Attached you can find the project I've tested with. Can you have a look at it and let me know if I am missing something?

I am looking forward to your reply.
