I need to be able to move activities from one resource to another by dragging. I have set the AllowDragging Property to "AcrossResources", however I am not able to move an activity from one resource to another.
I looked up the help document and here is what I found:
However note that the underlying schedule data connector may impose limitations on whether an activity's resource calendar or resource can be changed or not, in which case regardless of what this property is set to, the underlying schedule data connector restriction will be effective.
However, it does not state what the limitations set by the custom objects are. Is there something we should take care of in the custom objects or in the proeprty mapping to allow this to happen.
Please Suggest.
Thank You,
Hariharan
This should be allowed as long as the connector supports having an activity added/remove since we are in essence removing an activity from one resource calendar and associating it with another. The sample I posted in response to one of your other posts has this working when bound to custom objects. If you still have an issue then please post a sample that demonstrates the issue you are having.
Please find attached a sample project where i am not able to drag activities across resources.

I tried using the activity changing event and comparing the OriginalActivity and Activity from the event args, but I dont know if this is a bug with the control, event though the original activity has the old values, the data item of the original activity is updated with new values and e.cancel does not revert the changes to the date item. This leads to the mapped object and the activity not being in sync.
Please Suggest a response ASAP.
You could handle the ActivityRemoving event and cancel it (i.e. set Cancel to true). If you're using recurrences then you should also handle the ActivityRecurrenceChooserDialogDisplaying event and set the ChooserAction to Cancel if the ChooserType is ChooseForDeletion since a prompt will be displayed when attempting to delete an occurrence of a recurring activity to know if the user intends to delete the occurrence or the entire series.
Also, I want users to drag activities across resources for which i have to set allow remove to true.But I do not want them to delete activities, by using the delete key. Is there a property that i can set to handle this?
Thank You.
