Reordering of GridView Rows and Columns by dragging them

[Dhileep Kumar Sampath]

Hi All,
     I have to allow the users to reorder both the rows and columns of a gridview by dragging RowIndicator and column header respectively and dropping them in desired position.  If there is some sample available for this, it will be really helpful for me.

Thanks,
Dhileep

Hi,

Columns reordering is enabled by default in the grid - you can control this using CanUserReorderColumns property. You can check this demo for more info about how to accomplish rows reorder.

Hi

I have the same functionality demand as Dhileep.
Now, column reordering was no big deal as you have mentioned.
After that i followed the demo on how to implement the RadDragAndDropManager to reorder rows.

The problem now is that I can reorder rows, but the same functionality seems to kick into effect when I try to reorder my columns which lead to failure.

Is it possible to use standard columnreordering and the RadDragAndDropManager side by side or do i now have to implement a similar RadDragAndDropManager functionality in order to reorder my columns?

I'm not really shure wich part of my code i should post since i don't really know what i'm doing wrong, but  i am using silverlight controls version Q1 2010.

Hi,

Here is an example how to fix this:

private void OnOrderDragInfo(object sender, DragDropEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Options.Source is GridViewHeaderCell)
    {
        return;
    }
    ...
}

private void OnOrderDragQuery(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Options.Source is GridViewHeaderCell)
    {
        return;
    }
    ...
}

private void OnDropQuery(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Options.Source is GridViewHeaderCell)
    {
        return;
    }
    ...
}

private void OnGridViewDropInfo(object sender, DragDropEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Options.Source is GridViewHeaderCell)
    {
        return;
    }
    ...
}
private void OnDropQuery(object sender, DragDropQueryEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Options.Source is GridViewHeaderCell)
    {
        return;
    }
    ...
}
