Dragging/Moving a RadDiagramShape on RadDiagram

[Karandeep Singh]

I have been creating and adding RadDiagramShape to the RadDiagram control at run time.
I wan to detect/capture the event whenever the shape is moved(dragged to change its position) on the RadDiagram control.
How can I do that?

I tried to do something like 

radShape.DragEnter += OnShapePositionChanged;

also tried

radShape.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DragQueryEvent, new EventHandler<DragDropQueryEventArgs>(OnShapePositionChanged));

Didn't work.

Hi Karandeep Singh,

 You can handle the RadDiagram.PreviewDrag event as well as the RadDiagram.DragEvent. The first one occurs right after the drag has started (you can also handle it and stop the drag), while the second event is raised the drag has ended (the mouse is released).
Please let us know if these events work for you. 

Kind regards,

How can I access the below using the DragEvent.

 1.  The Item that is Dropped.

2. The Item within which the Item is Dropped.

 for (e.g) If I am dropping a shape "Fruit" inside a container "Basket", how do I get the "Fruit" and "Basket"?

Hello Thiruvengadam,

As my colleague Peter explained you in another thread -  container shapes (the "Basket" I suppose) only visually contains other shapes / containers. The child shapes reside in the Children collection of the ContainerShape, but their parent is actually the Diagram. However, if you need to detect when a shape ("Fruit") is dropped in Container Shape ("Basket") - you can inherit the RadDiagramContainerShape class and override the OnItemsCollectionChanged event:

public class CustomContainerShape : RadDiagramContainerShape
{
    protected override void OnItemsCollectionChanged(object sender, System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnItemsCollectionChanged(sender, e);
    }
}

You can get the item/s which is/are dropped inside the container from event arguments - e.NewItems collection.

I hope this information helps.
