[Solved] RadGridView Drag Cue

[Kyle]

Hi, 

How can I make the Drag Cue for a RadGridView look like the row I am trying to drag.  I am currently creating my own drag cue with the code below but it does not look as good as the row itself.  Is there a property on the grid to accomplist this?

Code:

if (e.Options.Status == DragStatus.DragInProgress)
{
  ContentControl cue = new ContentControl();
  cue.ContentTemplate = this.Resources["DraggedItemTemplate"] as DataTemplate;
  cue.Content = draggedItem;
  e.Options.DragCue = cue;
}

Markup:

<DataTemplate x:Key="DraggedItemTemplate">
  <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="2" Height="23" Opacity="0.7">
    <StackPanel.Background>
      <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
        <GradientStop Color="#FFCEAC4E" Offset="1"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#FFD4B31A"/>
      </LinearGradientBrush>
    </StackPanel.Background>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" FontWeight="Bold" Margin="5,3,0,0" />
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Age}" Foreground="Gray" Margin="10,3,0,0" />
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Department}" Foreground="Gray" Margin="15,3,0,0" />
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Salary}" Foreground="Gray" Margin="20,3,0,0" />
  </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

Thanks!

Hello Kyle,

Currently, we are working in providing new drag mode - autodrag which idea is to simplify the process of the drag and drop.

In allows the following:

 - Auto approve drag and drop operation (instead handling dragquery and dropquery)
 - Auto set payload - received from DataContext of the source
 - Auto create dragcue - snapshot of the source UIElement.

This mode will be included in our next latest internal build and will be set through AutoDrag attached property.

Best wishes,
