Hide drag visual

[Andrew]

I'd like to hide the drag visual. (See attached image.) How do I do this?

I've tried this:

<telerik:RadScheduleView>
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
        <!-- ... -->
    </telerik:RadScheduleView.ViewDefinitions>
    <telerik:RadScheduleView.DragVisualStyle>
        <Style TargetType="telerik:DragVisual">
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:DragVisual">
                        <Grid />
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>
    </telerik:RadScheduleView.DragVisualStyle>
</telerik:RadScheduleView>

I also tried using a Setter for Visibility with a value of Collapsed, instead of setting the Template property.

In both cases, I'm getting a KeyNotFoundException inside a XamlParseException. If I comment out the DragVisualStyle, then I don't get the error.

Hello Andrew,

Overriding the ControlTemplate the way you do is the right way to go. The only thing to keep in mind is to target the DragVisual class in the ScheduleView assembly. That is, use the following TargetType:

TargetType="scheduleView:DragVisual"

with the following namespace:

xmlns:scheduleView="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.ScheduleView"

I hope this will be helpful.

Regards,
Dani

Hello Dani,

That fixed me right up! In fact, both my solutions now work when I specify the correct namespace for DragVisual. Thanks!
