Best practice - OnClientNodeCollectionChange vs OnClientDrop ?

[Jim Jacobs]

Hi,

I have been using the drop handler for just that purpose - when the user drops a node on the canvas from a palette.  My current intention is to use the nodeCollectionChange handler to deal with additions caused by programmatic actions or user actions such as Copy/Paste.

Is there any suggested usage for when to use the nodeCollectionChange event?  Should I even bother with my drop handler? 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jim

Hi Jim,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

We have provided the difference between nodeCollectionChange event and the drop event in the below tabular column.

nodeCollectionChange	drop
Please note that nodeCollectionChange event will be triggered when you adding any new shapes onto the diagram at runtime. The nodeCollectionChange event will be triggered in the following scenarios. 1. Clipboard commands (Cut, Copy, Paste) 2. client side API methods “add” or “delete”. 3. Drag and Drop symbols from palette to canvas. (Please note that nodeCollectionChange event will be triggered once the shape entered into the canvas from palette). You can use this event based on your requirement.	Drop event triggers when you dropped the symbols from palette to canvas.
