toolbox populating shapes

[Rick Mueller]

Hello,
A couple of questions.
1. I have Diagramshapes inside wrappanel>Listbox>PanelgroupItem>PanelGroup>DockingPanel>etc
I hope you get the idea. It works ok,, but I tried to apply drag and drop from the listbox to Diagram control. No luck.
2. I went to plan "b" I'm using the toolbox from the diagram.Features .dll.. it Poplates the amount of items, but no shapes are visible? any thoughts?

<toolkit:ToolboxItem>
                                    <StackPanel>
                                        <telerik:RadDiagramShape Geometry="{telerik:CommonShape ShapeType=RectangleShape}" Padding="5" Height="40" Width="40" Background="Black" BorderBrush="AntiqueWhite"/>
                                        <TextBlock Text="4 Inch Deep" Margin="2" Width="70" Height="22" FontSize="10" />
                                    </StackPanel>
                                </toolkit:ToolboxItem>

Not enough material to read up on to figure this out.
Since drag n drop is big part of populating the Diagram control.. It should be included in the online docs???

Thank you
Rick

Hello Rick,

 The diagram control has built-in support for handling dropped data of type SerializationInfo. If you want to drop a shape to the diagram, you would have to set the payload (the Data) of the drag-drop to an instance of SerialziationInfo, which is returned by the Serialize() method of the RadDiagramShape. For Q2 2012, we are planning to extend the number of supported drop data formats.
