[Solved] Drop column outside of Grid?

[Jim]

I am attempting to allow the user to drag a column off of a grid and drop it.  My goal is to allow them to "remove" the column from the gridview.  I setup the following in the constructor of my containing usercontrol.

this.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DragQueryEvent, new EventHandler<DragDropQueryEventArgs>(OnDragQuery), false);
this.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DropQueryEvent, new EventHandler<DragDropQueryEventArgs>(OnDropQuery), false);
this.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DragInfoEvent, new EventHandler<DragDropEventArgs>(OnDragInfo), false);
this.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DropInfoEvent, new EventHandler<DragDropEventArgs>(OnDropInfo), false);

Of interest is I do get a drag query when I drag, but it appears that this is dragging my usercontrol and not the column. I would have liked to get a DropQuery.

Is there a way to figure out that a Column has been dragged out of the grid (which i would interpret as a 'remove column')?

Hello Jim,

Currently that is not possible, but there is a workaround. I have prepared a sample project in which a column header has a little close button (the same as the one you see in the group panel items) that removes the column. I hope this helps.
