[Solved] Not Fired: RadDragAndDropManager.AddDragQueryHandler(this.treeSource, OnDragQuery);

[Nick Wood]

Hi All,

I have the following code that was working in the Q3 2010 bins, but now on the Q1 2011 version (2011.1.419.1040), I cannot get drag manager QueryHandler event to fire: RadDragAndDropManager.AddDragQueryHandler(this.treeSource, OnDragQuery);

Full code:

public partial class AddEditPlaylist : ChildWindow
    {
        private AddEditPlaylistViewModel _VM;
        public AddEditPlaylistViewModel VM
        {
            get
            {
                return _VM;
            }
            set
            {
                _VM = value;
            }
        }

        public AddEditPlaylist(Playlists EditPlaylist)
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            RadDragAndDropManager.AddDragQueryHandler(this.treeSource, OnDragQuery);
            RadDragAndDropManager.AddDragQueryHandler(this.treeViewTarget, OnDragQuery);

            Guid EditPlaylistId = Guid.Empty;
            if (EditPlaylist != null) { EditPlaylistId = EditPlaylist.PlaylistId; }

            this.VM = new AddEditPlaylistViewModel(EditPlaylistId);
            this.VM.ResultHandler = result => { if (result.HasValue) { this.DialogResult = result.Value; } };
            this.DataContext = this.VM;
        }

        private void OnDragQuery(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Options.ParticipatingVisualRoots.Contains(this) == false)
                e.Options.ParticipatingVisualRoots.Add(this);
        }

        private void treeViewTarget_PreviewDragEnded(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadTreeViewDragEndedEventArgs e)
        {

        }
    }

As you can see, I am running this in a ChildWindow and as a result, I need to set:

e.Options.ParticipatingVisualRoots.Add(this);

In order for the PreviewDragEnded event to be fired.

Is the some change or some reason why this code would not be working now in the latest binaries?

Hi Nick Wood,

We managed to reproduce this issue at our side. It appears that the RadTreeView handles these events internally , so you have to wire for them in another way like so:

this.lefttree.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DragQueryEvent, new EventHandler<DragDropQueryEventArgs>(OnDragQuery), true);

The third parameter in this constructor specifies that handled events will be fired.
You can also check out the attached project  where this is realized.

Kind regards,

EDIT: Sorry I have just found the thread and didn't noticed, that it is in the Silverlight/Treeview-Forum. My Problem appears in WPF. I'll repost it in the right forum.

Hi,

I have the same problem and I tried your solution. Do you have any idea, what could cause the strange behavior shown in the screenshot? I have two RadTreeListView side by side and I want to drag&drop items from the one side to the other.

Hi Petar,
for my solution I translated the C# code

    

this.lefttree.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DragQueryEvent,
new EventHandler<DragDropQueryEventArgs>(OnDragQuery), true);


     
to VB
    

myradtreeview.AddHandler(RadDragAndDropManager.DragQueryEvent, 
New EventHandler(Of DragDropQueryEventArgs)(AddressOf OnMyRadTreeViewDragQuery), True)

     
    
but I receive the following error:

    Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'AddHandler' can be called with these arguments:
    'Public Sub AddHandler(routedEvent As System.Windows.RoutedEvent, handler As System.Delegate, handledEventsToo As Boolean)': Value of type 'Telerik.Windows.RoutedEvent' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.RoutedEvent'.
Extension method 'Public Sub AddHandler(routedEvent As Microsoft.Windows.ExtendedRoutedEvent, handler As System.Delegate, handledEventsToo As Boolean)' defined in 'System.Windows.UIElementExtendedRoutedEventExtensions': Value of type 'Telerik.Windows.RoutedEvent' cannot be converted to 'Microsoft.Windows.ExtendedRoutedEvent'. 

Can you give me a hint, what I have done wrong?

Hello Tobias,

 Could you please confirm that you have properly imported Telerik.Windows and the event is defined like:

' OnDragQuery event handler Private Sub OnDragQuery(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DragDropQueryEventArgs) End Sub

Please check out this help article and let us know if it helps you.

Hi Petar,
oops - it was the missing import statement, So now everything is working well.
Thank you for the hint.
Best regards,
Tobias
