Problem Dragging from RadTreeView to image/ItemsControls

[Shayne]

Hello,

In the scenario that we have, we need to drag items from a TreeView onto an image.  The image is a map and has a couple of collections items added to display on top of the map.  I am using the RadDragAndDropManager to drop items onto the map.

Here is the XAML for defining the target:

....
<Grid x:Name="mapGrid"
                  Visibility="{Binding Text, ElementName=mapFilenameTextBox, Converter={StaticResource StringEmptyToVisibilityConverter}}"
                  HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                  Margin="2">
                <Image x:Name="mapImage"
                       Source="{Binding MapFilename, Mode=OneWay}"
                       Stretch="Uniform" StretchDirection="Both" SizeChanged="mapImage_SizeChanged" Loaded="mapImage_Loaded"/>


                <ItemsControl x:Name="mapSymbolLabelsItemsControl"
                              ItemsSource="{Binding MapSymbolLabels}">
                    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                            <Canvas>
                                <Canvas.Background>
                                    <SolidColorBrush Opacity="0"/>
                                </Canvas.Background>
                            </Canvas>
                        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                    <ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
                        <Style>
                            <Setter Property="Canvas.Top" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=Top}" />
                            <Setter Property="Canvas.Left" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=Left}" />
                            <Setter Property="Label.ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=LabelName}" />
                        </Style>
                    </ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
                </ItemsControl>


                <ItemsControl x:Name="mapAreaItemsControl"
                              AllowDrop="True"
                              Drop="mapAreaItemsControl_Drop"
                              MouseLeftButtonDown="mapAreaItemsControl_MouseButtonDown"
                              MouseRightButtonDown="mapAreaItemsControl_MouseButtonDown"
                              MouseMove="mapAreaItemsControl_MouseMove"
                              GiveFeedback="mapAreaItemsControl_GiveFeedback"
                              ItemsSource="{Binding MapSymbols}">
                    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                            <Canvas x:Name="mapCanvas">
                                <Canvas.Background>
                                    <SolidColorBrush Opacity="0"/>
                                </Canvas.Background>
                            </Canvas>
                        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                    <ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
                        <Style>
                            <Setter Property="Canvas.Top" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=Top}" />
                            <Setter Property="Canvas.Left" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=Left}" />
                            <Setter Property="Image.ToolTip" Value="{Binding RelativeSource={x:Static RelativeSource.Self}, Path=SymbolName}" />
                        </Style>
                    </ItemsControl.ItemContainerStyle>
                    <ItemsControl.ContextMenu>
                        <ContextMenu>
                            <MenuItem Header="{l:Translate DeleteContextMenuItem}" Command="{Binding DeleteSelectedMapSymbolsCommand}"/>
                        </ContextMenu>
                    </ItemsControl.ContextMenu>
                </ItemsControl>
            </Grid>
...

In the Constructor of the view, I set up the DragAndDropEvents:

RadDragAndDropManager.SetAllowDrop(mapAreaItemsControl , true);

RadDragAndDropManager.AddDropQueryHandler(mapAreaItemsControl, new EventHandler<DragDropQueryEventArgs>( OnDropQuery ) );
RadDragAndDropManager.AddDropInfoHandler(mapAreaItemsControl, new EventHandler<DragDropEventArgs>( OnDropInfo ) );

What I am seeing with this is that OnDropQuery fires once and I set the query result to true to enable the drop.

private void OnDropQuery( object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e )
{    
    e.QueryResult = true;
    e.Handled = true;
}

I expect that the drag status should be allowed at this point, but its being set to DropImpossible.

I did notice that the OnDropInfo event is being fired twice - the first time, the drag status is DropPossible, but the second time, the drag status is DropImpossible.  The sender both times is the items control and this happens weather the items control is empty or not.  I have tried several combinations of allowing drop to the containing grid, the image, the item control and all of them, but the result is the same.  

Here is the call stack when drop status is DropPossible:

As noted, Ive tried several combinations of allowing and handling the drag drop events for all of the elements in the view, I cannot get the result to remain DragPossible so that I can actually perform the drop.

Hello Shayne,

 The RadDragAndDropManager has some known bugs and limitations and that is why in 2011 we created a new DragDropManager providing more friendly API. We highly encourage you to use the DragDropManager, you can start with its documentation articles and examples.
