Problem using Drag & Drop when nesting a Slider in a TreeView control

[Richard H]

Hi there,

I want to embed a RadSlider control in my ItemTemplate that is used to display items in a RadTreeView control. However, when Drag & Drop is enabled for the RadTreeView (a feature I require), the Drag & Drop preview is displayed whenever adjust the RadSlider with the mouse. This obscures the view of the slider control. I would like to hide the Drag & Drop preview when I adjust the slider.

I have simplified the problem down to the following code which demonstrates the problem. Just click on the slider and adjust it, you will see a Drag & Drop preview:

<telerikNavigation:RadTreeView IsDragDropEnabled="True" Grid.Column="1">
  <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Test" IsExpanded="True">
    <telerik:RadSlider Minimum="0" Maximum="100" Width="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
  </telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem>
</telerikNavigation:RadTreeView>

I've tried implementing the MouseLeftButtonDown event on the RadTreeView control and setting e.Handled = true, but the event still seems to bubble up and cause the Drag & Drop Preview to be displayed over top of the RadSlider control.

Is there a way to prevent the Drag & Drop Preview from being displayed when I adjust the RadSlider control but still have the ability if I click elsewhere to be able to Drag the item (I need to be able to reorder items in the RadTreeView control which is why I need the Drag and Drop support)?

Thanks, Richard

Hi SWITCH,

If you set telerikDragDrop:RadDragAndDropManager.AllowDrag="True" for the RadSlider, then you add a class handler for the OnDragQuery() event and handle it in order to deny drag and drop for the RadSlider.

I attached a project illustrating the suggested approach. Please take a look at it and let me know if it works for you.

Kind regards,

Fantastic! That did the trick. I figured it was something simple like that.

Thanks very much for the quick response!
