Visual Cues on Drag

[Salvatore]

Is there a way to customize the look of the drag feature? So when you drag an appointment it currently shows you the location you are dragging it to with the times in the corners incidcating the start and end times, as well as the appointment name with an arrow indicator.  Is there a way to remove the times from the dragging?

Hi,

You can use the DragVisualTemplate property of type DataTemplate of RadScheduleView to customize the content of the drag visual.

Is the source available for the current dragvisualtemplate?  Could I modify the existing template?

Hello,
Below is the code for the default value of DragVisualTemplate property

<DataTemplate x:Key="DragVisualContentTemplate">
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource DraggedAppointmentsToLocalizedStringConverter}}" TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxWidth="200" MaxHeight="66" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" />
</DataTemplate>

You can also use the DragDropHighlightStyle property to customize the drag highlight.Its default value is:

<Style x:Key="DragDropHighlightStyle" TargetType="scheduleView:HighlightItem">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource DecorationRectangleBackground_DragOver}" />
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource DecorationRectangleOuterBorder_DragOver}" />
    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate>
                <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
                    <Grid>
                        <Border BorderBrush="{StaticResource DecorationRectangleInnerBorder_DragOver}" BorderThickness="1" />
                        <Path Width="8" Height="8" Margin="-2" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Stroke="{StaticResource AppointmentResizeCueTopLeftMarkStroke}">
                            <Path.Data>
                                <GeometryGroup>
                                    <EllipseGeometry RadiusX="2" RadiusY="2" Center="2 2" />
                                    <LineGeometry StartPoint="3 3" EndPoint="8 8" />
                                </GeometryGroup>
                            </Path.Data>
                        </Path>

                        <TextBlock x:Name="StartTextBox" Margin="4 2" Foreground="{StaticResource RadScheduleForeground}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Text="{Binding ActualStart,StringFormat=t}" />

                        <Path Width="8" Height="8" Margin="-2" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Stroke="{StaticResource AppointmentResizeCueBottomRightMarkStroke}">
                            <Path.Data>
                                <GeometryGroup>
                                    <EllipseGeometry RadiusX="2" RadiusY="2" Center="6 6" />
                                    <LineGeometry StartPoint="0 0" EndPoint="5 5" />
                                </GeometryGroup>
                            </Path.Data>
                        </Path>
                        <TextBlock x:Name="EndTextBox" Margin="4 2" Foreground="{StaticResource RadScheduleForeground}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Text="{Binding ActualEnd,StringFormat=t}" />
                    </Grid>
                </Border>
            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>
