Drag & Drop outside SfDataGrid

Hi everyone

I have a few DockingManager panels in my form and one of them contains a SfDataGrid bound t a collection datasource. I need to drag the data from it to a third custom (non Syncfusion) control.

I attached a MouseDown event to the SfDataGrid and to the parent DockingManager panel, but they are never executed.

The only event i got firing is sfDataGrid.Controls[0].MouseDown += Form1_MouseDown; where i can get the mouse Pos... but i guess using the mouse pos.X and Y is even a longer road.

Any chance of doing it?

Thank you in advance! :)

Hi Manojlo, 
 
Thank you for using Syncfusion controls. 
 
Currently SfDataGrid does not have a support for row drag and drop, so we have considered to provide support for “Row drag and drop support” in Windows Forms and logged feature request for the same. We will implement this feature in any of our upcoming release.  
 
At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features and identify features for implementation based on specific parameters including product vision, technological feasibility, and customer interest. We will let you know when this feature is implemented. We appreciate your patience until then. 
 
Thank you for requesting this feature and helping us define it. We are always trying to make our products better and feature requests like yours are a key part of our product growth efforts. 
 
 
If you have any more specification/suggestions to the feature request, you can add it as a comment in the portal and cast your vote to make it count. 
 
Regards, 
Farjana Parveen A
