How to scroll during drag-and-drop

[Georg]

When the user drags an item to the top or bottom of the TreeListView, I'd like to scroll automatically, to handle the case where the user wants to drag to an item that isn't currently in view. I have a small sample program I can provide you, and OnDragOver is shown below. Can you tell me how to detect that the drag has reached the top or bottom of the view and then scroll as needed?

Thanks,

Georg Hentsch

        private void OnDragOver(object sender, Telerik.Windows.DragDrop.DragEventArgs e) {
            var dropTarget = e.OriginalSource as TreeListViewRow ?? (e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement).ParentOfType<TreeListViewRow>();
            var details = DragDropPayloadManager.GetDataFromObject(e.Data, "DropDetails") as DropIndicationDetails;

            if (dropTarget == null || details == null) {
                return;
            }

            details.CurrentDraggedOverItem = dropTarget.DataContext;

            if (details.CurrentDraggedItem == details.CurrentDraggedOverItem) {
                e.Effects = DragDropEffects.None;
                e.Handled = true;
                return;
            }

            details.CurrentDropPosition = GetDropPositionFromPoint(e.GetPosition(dropTarget), dropTarget);

            if (IsChildOf(dropTarget, sourceItem)) {
                e.Effects = DragDropEffects.None; // don't allow item to be dropped to one of its own children
            }

            e.Handled = true;
        }

Actually, I think I see how to do this now, using "Point relativeLocation = row.TranslatePoint(new Point(0, 0), radTreeListView)" to determine where the row is in the view.

I got this working. In case anyone else needs this, here's the method I call from OnDragOver:

        private void ScrollIfNeeded(TreeListViewRow dropTarget) {
            Point dropPoint = dropTarget.TranslatePoint(new Point(0, 0), radTreeListView);
            int index = myObjects.IndexOf(dropTarget.Item);

            if (dropPoint.Y <= 3 * dropTarget.ActualHeight && index > 0) {
                // scroll previous row into view
                radTreeListView.ScrollIntoView(myObjects[index - 1]);
            } else if (dropPoint.Y >= radTreeListView.ActualHeight - 3 * dropTarget.ActualHeight && index < myObjects.Count - 1) {
                // scroll next row into view
                radTreeListView.ScrollIntoView(myObjects[index + 1]);
            }
        }
