XamDataCards Drag&Drop with touch screens
posted

Hello,

I am thinking about an app with following features:

  • One typ of datacards describe projects
  • Another typ of datacards represents the employees that can be assigned to projects
  • I would like to link (or merge) the employee datacard with a project datacard (also unlink them or move one employee from project A to B if needed)
  • The whole app should run on touch scrrens

Can this scenario be built with XamDatacards? Are there best practices regarding touch with Infragistics?

Thanks

Niko

    Hello Niko,

    I have been investigating into this functionality that you are looking to achieve, and I am unsure if the XamDataCards control would really be the best Infragistics control for you in this case, although I may be misunderstanding the exact functionality you are looking for. My impression of what you are looking for is along the lines of a diagram where you can see the relationships between the "Project" and "Employee" objects. If this impression is incorrect, would it then be possible for you to please provide a little more information on the exact UI that you are looking for in this case?

    If the above impression is correct, then I would very likely recommend against the XamDataCards and recommend something like the XamDiagram or perhaps the XamTileManager. The main reason for this is because the XamDataCards does not currently support hierarchical data, and so I'm not entirely sure how you would plan to show the relationship between the Projects and Employees unless you perhaps used multiple instances of the control. The XamDiagram and XamTileManager also have drag-and-drop functionality built-in, although you would very likely have to manage the actual "relationships" using application code and modifications of your underlying data item.

    For reference, I am linking our online documentation for the XamDiagram and XamTileManager below:

    XamDiagram: https://es.infragistics.com/help/wpf/xamdiagram

    XamTileManager: https://es.infragistics.com/help/wpf/xamtilemanager

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.

    Sincerely,
