RadTreeView: editing dropped items

[Daniel]

I am attempting to put a treeview node into edit mode after it is dragged and dropped to a new location within the same treeview.  I am using the following code in the DragEnded event handler to achieve this:

RadTreeViewItem item = e.DraggedItems[0] as RadTreeViewItem;
item.IsInEditMode = true;

However I am experiencing unexpected functionality.  Instead of the node being put into edit mode the display text is cleared and the node is not editable.  I have been able to get the edit functionality to work in other instances but not in this case.  Is there an issue with putting a node into edit mode from the DragEnded event handler?

Thanks,

Daniel A

Hi Daniel,

I am not sure that I understand your scenario. However, such issue may occur if you try to set the IsInEditMode property of the RadTreeViewItem to True when the IsEditable property of the RadTreeView control is set to False. Have in mind that False is its default value. Can you please make sure that you set the IsEditable property to True before dropping an item.

Furthermore, you will have to define an IetmEditTemplate. In that template you can define a TextBlock with Text property bound in TwoWay mode to property defined in your View-Model, so that changes triggered from the UI are reflected into your View-Model.

I hope this information will help you.
