Hello,
I want to drag a whole column outside of the xamDataGrid. The idea is that I can build a list of columns the user wants to be mapped to other properties on another object - kind of data importer/converter. So, the problem seems that I cannot drag the column outside the grid onto any control. There are simply no events happening. Tried to find a few things here in the forum, but I got stuck with too many search results ;)
regards Florian
Hi Florian,
The normal behavior for dragging columns in the XamDataGrid is handled by an internal class called FieldDragManager. This is not exposed for use and I don't believe it uses the standard drag and drop mechanisms available so this explains why the drag and drop events don't fire.
I'm consulting with the developers of the XamDataGrid to find out if there is a way to do this. I'll update you once I have a response from them.
I've attached a sample that shows how you can drag a column out of the XamDataGrid to another control. It uses the standard WPF drag and drop mechanisms. Unfortunately this results in losing the ability to shift column positions within the grid. At this moment there is no way for the two mechanisms to co-exist and allow you to keep column repositioning while also being able to drag the columns out of the grid and onto another control.
