TreeViewAdv: Dragging over node expands it but interrupts Drag events?

[Keith Steinbeck]

Hello,

In my TreeViewAdv when I drag a node over a collapsed node it expands (good) but afterward no drop target in the tree is valid. I have to stop dragging and drag again.

It seems like the node expand event is interrupting the drag event. I've tried messing with QueryContinueDrag but haven't been successful. How do I continue a DragDrop operation in this case?

Thanks!

Hi Keith,

We tried a simple sample as per your description. We tried to drag and drop the Node over a collapsed node. Even then we were able to Drag Drop the dropped node or any node from the TreeViewAdv without any issues. Please find the sample from the below location.

Bala,

Thanks for the reply. It turns out that something I was doing in the Expand event was rebuilding the tree behind the scenes. This was causing all the drop targets to be invalid.

All I needed to do was prevent the code from being executed in cases where the Expand was caused by a Drag operation. However, there are some issues with this as I've described in this post:

Hi Keith,

Can you try as shown below by adding a bool flag?

private bool nodeUnderDrag = false;

private void treeViewAdv_ItemDrag(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ItemDragEventArgs e)
{
     nodeUnderDrag = true;
}

private void treeViewAdv_DragDrop(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
{
     nodeUnderDrag = false;
}

void treeViewAdv1_BeforeExpand(object sender, TreeViewAdvCancelableNodeEventArgs e)
{
    if (nodeUnderDrag)
    {
        e.Cancel = true; // cancel the expand operation
    }
    else
    {
        // Rebuild nodes
    }
}

Regards,
Mano

Mano,

The approach you suggested is actually what I'm doing now. HOWEVER, this leaves at least one edge case where the bool cannot be properly set (releasing the mouse button while dragging over an invalid target cancels drag but fires no events). Please see my other post regarding this issue; the link is included in my previous comment.

this does not work on my example and the address provided is even less informative.

I followed the sample of the drag and drop of countries and continents but sometimes when I release the mouse button, the highlighter get stuck and the node does not change position.

Hi Felipe,

Thank you for your update.

This reported behavior can be achieved by handling the DragLeave event in the TreeViewAdv and using ClearHighlightNode function in the TreeViewDragHighlightTracker. Please use the below code example for further reference.

Code Example[C#];

  private void treeViewAdv_DragLeave(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

        {

            this.treeViewDragHighlightTracker.ClearHighlightNode();
        }

We have prepared the sample for your reference and it can be download from here.
