Hi,
With RadDragandDropManager, I am dropping items in a Listbox (which is working fine). But I need to drop anywhere in List box. I don't want the Orientation to be set as Horizontal or vertical. This requirement is for a UI designer.

There can be 3 items (Horizontally ) and say 1 item vertically .. depends where user drops the item. Is this possible? Anyone can suggest me approach or any work around?

Thanks & Regards

I am sorry for the delayed reply!

 I am not sure I understand your problem clearly. Could you expand on it a bit or possibly send a screenshot if this is a design issue?

The DragDrop should not depend on the design, so it will work regardless of whether the items in the ListBox are stacked horizontally or vertically.

If you can drop items in the list box just over existing items and you want this to be possible over the visible background of the ListBox as well, then you can set the ListBox as drop target as well, i.e. set the AllowDrop property:

dragDrop:AllowDrop="true" 

Hi Miroslav ,
Thanks for the reply. I am actually searching for solution where I can position ListItems in the listbox where I drop them.

Say I drag an item and drop on 1^st row .. then I drag another item and place in 2nd column …Where every I drop the item, It should be positioned.

This requirement is for a UI designer …

Currently I can position items vertically or horizontally .. or with the help of grid (I can have fixed rows and columns)

But my requirement is a free – flow placement ..

Can you please help to find a solution?
Please let me know if I am not clear.

Thanks & Regards

 Have you considered using a Canvas? This will give you the ultimate freedom for placement of the items.

Generally you can use the DragDrop to rearrange items in a Grid or Canvas panel but then how would the initial layout happen?

If can provide the code for the initial layout of the items in a ListBox then I will be happy to hook it up with the DragDrop so that items can be rearranged.

All the best,

Hi Miroslav,
Thanks for replying my Qs ...
Well if I add Canvas, I will be adding Grid too (where I will be specifying rows and columns) ...
So when I drop on the listbox, it automatically gets dropped on the next cell. Where as, I want to drop on the cell where my mouse is over.
(Say, in http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#DragAndDrop/FirstLook example, we drag an item and drop on the list, It will get adjusted on 1st row - 1st column. whereas I dropped it on 2nd row. 
Is there any other way, any controls .. where the item will  be dropped where I drop it (on that place over control where mouse has dropped it) ?

Thanks  & Regards
