DraggedItemTemplate in Drap and Drop sample?

[Kjell]

Hi, my question is regarding this demo:

http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/beta/#GridView/RowReorder

I am using this code pretty much verbatim, and having trouble editing the template for the dragged item.  There is a "DraggedItemTemplate" in the demo but this doesn't seem to be applied anywhere? (same with testTemplate1 & testTemplate1)

How do I edit that template or apply my own template?

Hi Kjell,

The template for the dragged item is of type TreeViewDragCue. You may take a look at our online documentation for a reference on the way to customize the template of the drag cue.

Thanks Maya, that link is helpful.

So in the demo is the "ToString()" method of the class being overridden?

Ok thanks to that link and some experimentation I was able to get this going.  I want to share my experience just in case it helps anyone else.

First off, overriding ToString() seemed like an easy work around but I found out that wont work for me because I define my class in my web service.

To get a custom template working with the demo code, all I had to do was put the template in App.xaml and add the following lines to the "CreateDragCue" method:

cue.DragActionContentTemplate =

 

App.Current.Resources["DraggedItemTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
cue.ItemTemplate = App.Current.Resources["DraggedItemTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
