Is it possible to drag items to Schedule from the DataGrid or a ListBox?

[Jethro]

I would like to make a Schedule where the items from a DataGrid or a listbox can migrate to the schedule where the items that is dragged to the Schedule will Show like this:

ListBox	Schedule
Math ---> Dragged	Math 9:00 - 12:00

and the item Math contains particular length of time and the user can place it in the schedule wherever he wants. And also how to get the time where the item is dragged.

If you have a suggestion please do. Thanks

Hi Jethro,

As of now we don’t have any support to drag items from data grid or list view in schedule control

I made a listBox with subjects in it. This is the code:

private void listSubjects_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)

        {

            ListBox parent = (ListBox)sender;

            dragSource = parent;

            object data = GetDataFromListBox(dragSource, e.GetPosition(parent));

            if (data != null)

            {

                DragDrop.DoDragDrop(parent, data, DragDropEffects.Move);

            }

        }

private static object GetDataFromListBox(ListBox source, Point point)

        {

            UIElement element = source.InputHitTest(point) as UIElement;

            if (element != null)

            {

                object data = DependencyProperty.UnsetValue;

                while (data == DependencyProperty.UnsetValue)

                {

                    data = source.ItemContainerGenerator.ItemFromContainer(element);

                    if (data == DependencyProperty.UnsetValue)

                    {

                        element = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(element) as UIElement;

                    }

                    if (element == source)

                    {

                        return null;

                    }

                }

                if (data != DependencyProperty.UnsetValue)

                {

                    return data;

                }

            }

            return null;

        }

private void Schedule_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)

        {

            SfSchedule parent = (SfSchedule)sender;

            object data = e.Data.GetData(typeof(string));

            

            AppointmentCollection.Add(new ScheduleAppointment()

            {

                StartTime = Convert.ToDateTime("13:00"),

                EndTime = Convert.ToDateTime("16:00"),

                Subject = data.ToString()

            });

            Schedule.Appointments = AppointmentCollection;

            listSubjects.Items.Remove(data);

        }

I would like to get the day and time where I drop the data. You see in the codes above that I manually added the time which is I want to enter the date where I dropped it. 
Can you help me?

Hi Jethro

We have implemented the similar requirement in the schedule WinRT platform. In WinRT SfScehdule, we place the dragged item where we have dropped. Please refer to the following KB article.

KB Link: http://www.syncfusion.com/kb/2854/how-to-do-a-draganddrop-of-listview-items-into-sfschedule-control

Also, we have implementing this requirement in the Schedule wpf platform which will be available in upcoming service pack release at the end of November.

Hello Vigneshkumar,

Has this feature been released for the WPF Schedule control?

Hi Pera, 

 

We have not implemented this feature in schedule control, since we have other important release related tasks. We have already logged a feature report on this for SfSchedule control and it will be implemented in any of our upcoming release.

Hello Vigneshkumar,

Is there a workaround for this feature and could you provide me with a code sample for it?

Hi Pera,

Are you doing the similar thing I wanted to accomplish?

[Pera Dragan]

Hello Jethro,

Yes, I want to do exactly the same thing. Did you find the solution?

Hi Pera & Jethro, 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

we don’t have any work around to achieve this requirement, since we need some control level changes for this requirement. As per the earlier update logged a feature report on this for SfSchedule control and it will be implemented in any of our upcoming release. We will let you know once the implementation has done.

Hello Pera,

Have you checked the codes above that I used?

In the appointment collection, you could just make the one variable unique so that you can still have the identity of the data,

Example:

7:00 is start time

10 is end time

subject would be English.

you could use the other variables to save your Primary Key.

Is this what you want to know? Just kindly ask what you need maybe I can help you with it.

Regards,

 Jethro

Hello Jethro,

We would like the start time of the event to be the same as for the cell where we dropped the item, not hard-coded to 7:00 for instance.

Thank you for the help

Pera

I tried to mimic mouse clicks (raising mouse click events) in the drop event handler of the scheduler in order to open the event adding dialog but it didn't work. I probably didn't find the correct event that needs to be raised. Could you perhaps help me out with that?

Thanks,

Pera

Hello Pera,

You are using ListBox?

Try to imitate the codes I used above. you can make an object. like I did and it has a property as a drag and drop.

I'll try to find the program that I used in the mean time try this.

Jethro
