DragNodeCue for multiple selection drag operation

[Tugrul Ebabil]

Hello,

I am using the TreeViewAdv  with MultiSelectSameLevel option for SelectionMode. The ShowDragNodeCue value is set to true (v20.3460.0.47) .

When selecting more than one node and draging it, the cue displayed is not correct: the drag node cue displays the same text for all nodes

Do I miss something?

Thanks for your help

Tugrul Ebabil,

We would like to let you know that Essential Studio Weekly NuGet packages (v33.1.46) have been published in nuget.org with the fix for the issue "DragNodeCue does not display proper dragged items when dragging multiple nodes". Please let us know if you have any concerns in this.

Root Cause Details: 

In the TreeViewAdv control, when dragging multiple nodes with ShowDragNodeCue enabled, the control draws the text string for each selected node. However, during this process, it draws the last selected node’s text for every dragged node instead of displaying the corresponding text for each node while rendering the drag cue. As a result, the drag preview displayed the last‑selected node’s text repeatedly rather than showing the correct node text for each dragged item.

 We have now updated the condition to ensure that each dragged node’s text is displayed correctly in the drag cue.
