[Solved] DragArrow Start Position

[Tracey]

Hi

How does the drag arrow work out where to start from. I am getting a gap between where I start dragging and where the drag arrow actually appears as shown in this Screen shot

I am generating the arrow using the following

private void OnDragQuery(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)
 {
                 // draw the arrow
                if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DragQuery)
                {
                    e.QueryResult = true;
                    e.Handled = true;
                    var arrowCue = RadDragAndDropManager.GenerateArrowCue();
                    arrowCue.Background = new SolidColorBrush(ColourFormat.GetColourFromHex("#FFCC0000"));
                    arrowCue.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(ColourFormat.GetColourFromHex("#FFCC0000"));
                    e.Options.ArrowCue = arrowCue;
                }
 }

Hi Tracey,

I have tested the issue you reported on our demos, but still I was not able to reproduce it. Are you able to get that behavior on this example ? Is there anything more specific that you do ? Generally, any relevant information or sample project will be helpful.

Hi

Yes I get the issue on the demo. For example if you start dragging the "Large Collider C.E.R.N" item to the right by clicking the N, the arrow doesn't start from the N there is a gap of roughly 30 pixels down and to the right.

Is there a way of setting the drag arrow so that it starts being drawn where you click?

Many Thanks
Tracey

Hi Tracey,

 You can remove this space be setting 0 padding to drag arrow:

args.Options.ArrowCue = RadDragAndDropManager.GenerateArrowCue();
args.Options.ArrowCue.Padding = new Thickness(0);

I have attached project demonstrating the idea as well. Let us know if you have any further questions.

All the best,
