Remove Drop Before/After

[JDT]

Hi Telerik,

I have a treeview that can drag and drop items within the treeview. This works great. However when I drag from a GridView to a Treeview, I only want those items to be dropped in a treeview item, not before/after as a treeview item. For this scenario how can I disable showing/allowing the drop before and after?

Also when these gridview items are dropped in a treeviewitem I don't want them to become new nodes on the tree, just handled.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

Hi JDT,

Please accept my apology for the delayed response.

You can handle the OnDragInfo() event of for RadTreeView and hide the DragTooltip if the DropPosition isn't Inside:

private void OnDropInfo(object sender, DragDropEventArgs e)
{
    RadTreeViewItem destItem = e.Options.Destination as RadTreeViewItem;
    if (destItem != null && destItem.DropPosition != DropPosition.Inside)
    {
        (e.Options.DragCue as TreeViewDragCue).DragTooltipVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
    }
    else
    {
        (e.Options.DragCue as TreeViewDragCue).DragTooltipVisibility = Visibility.Visible;
    }
}

Also you can set the IsDropPreviewLineEnabled property of the RadTreeView to false in the declaration of the control:

<telerikNavigation:RadTreeView x:Name="radTreeView"
    ItemTemplateSelector="{StaticResource ExampleTemplateSelector}"
    IsDragDropEnabled="True"
    Background="White"
    BorderThickness="1"
    BorderBrush="LightGray"
    Padding="16"
    PreviewDragEnded="radTreeView_PreviewDragEnded"
    IsDropPreviewLineEnabled="False"
    VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>

You can find more information about the DragAndDrop feature of the RadTreeView here.

Also if you need to deny dropping of items in certain positions, you can handle the PreviewDragEnded() event:

private void radTreeView_PreviewDragEnded(object sender, RadTreeViewDragEndedEventArgs e)
{
    //deny dropping of the dragged items
    e.Handled = true;
}

You can check here if the e.DropPosition is Inside, Before or After and implement some custom logic.

Please take a look at the attached project and let me know if this is what you had in mind or if you need more info.
