That's pretty much what we want to do. We want to be able to show a data grid of expandable content AND we want to be able to drag from one node to another node. For example, I want to be able to drag the selected row Francis Doe down into the North Dakota node. But I should not be able to drag Nort Dakota into Wyoming.
I can write this functionality from scratch, I feel pretty confident in wpf and have written some complicated drag and drop controls. However, I don't want to write it if I don't have to. My question is, if I purchased xamDataGrid would it get me any closer, how much could xamdatagrid support? Would it support the skinning, alternating row colors, drag drop and expandable content?
Is Drag/Drop across nodes still a limitation?
Hi,
The xamDataGrid from NetAdvantage for WPF 2008 Vol. 1 supports:
1. Hierarchical data . You should simply bind the control to a hierarchical data source as you would bind to a flat data sourse. For more information , please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamData_Displaying_Hierarchical_Data.html;
2. Expandable content ( or ExpandableField Record ) . For more information , please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamData_Terms_Records_ExpandableFieldRecord.html ;
3. Adding Alternating Rows Colors . For more information , please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamDataGrid_Adding_Alternating_Rows_Colors.html
4. Using Built-in Themes . For more information, please see http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WPF/2008.1/CLR3.X/html/xamData_Using_Built_In_Themes.html .
The xamDataGrid does not support drag and drop of hierarchical data. Unfortunately , you can not drag data from one node to another node .
