Drag Drop Nodes in TreeViewAdv

[Rick]

I'm have a single TreeViewAdv and need to allow or disallow a node being move based on the node being dragged and where it is being dropped. I "carry" the node type in the tag. The problem I'm having is that when I get the DragOver or DragDrop events I can't get the data from e.Data.GetData. I always get a null. I thought the object would be of type TreeNodeAdv but I get null back. I also tried object and a string with a conversion to see if I could get something but that didn't work either.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can use code given below to accomplish this.

private void treeViewAdv2_DragOver(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
{
TreeNodeAdv[] tnas = e.Data.GetData(typeof(TreeNodeAdv[])) as TreeNodeAdv[];
}

The e.Data.GetData method here returns an array of TreeNodeAdv and not just a single TreeNodeAdv. This is done to take care of situations in which multiple nodes maybe dragged/dropped.
Let me know if this is the information you are looking for.

Guru Patwal,

That did it. Thanks!

Hi,

I tried using this line code in the DragOver event:
nodesBeingDragged = e.Data.GetData(typeof(TreeNodeAdv[])) as TreeNodeAdv[];

but it returns null: Quick watch in VS2003 shows only one TreeNodeAdv in the data although I select multiple nodes. Have set property SelectionMode to MultiSelectSameLevel but have I forgotten something?

Any help appreciated

Hi,
With
TreeNodeAdv[] nodes = e.Item as TreeNodeAdv[];
in the treeViewAdv1_ItemDrag event I can get all treenodes if there is more than one.
Thanks for your help
