As I mentioned in my post I looked at this example which was provided by the link but it does not work correctly as it does not have the context of the node.

I'm trying to do basically the same thing, only dragging a node from a XamDataTree to a XamTextEditor. Sample program works. The XamDataTree_NodeDragDrop doesn't fire (unless I enable and drag and drop within the XamDataTree, which I don't want). Here is my xaml:

<igEditors:XamTextEditor x:Name="txtProducedByFermentation" Margin="2" Height="24" Width="150" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" AllowDrop="True"/>

<ig:XamDataTree Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" MinWidth="200" Grid.RowSpan="7" VerticalAlignment="Top" ItemsSource="    {Binding AttributeViewModels}" NodeDragDrop="XamDataTree_NodeDragDrop">
<ig:XamDataTree.GlobalNodeLayouts>
<ig:NodeLayout Key="ChildAttributes" TargetTypeName="AttributeViewModel" DisplayMemberPath="AttributeID" IsExpandedMemberPath="AttributeIsExpanded" IsDraggable="True" IsDropTarget="False"/>
</ig:XamDataTree.GlobalNodeLayouts>
</ig:XamDataTree>

Any help is appreciated.

I think I've got it working... I added a DropTarget object to each of my text boxes and that seems to have fixed the majority of issues. Note that at this point, my XamDataTree does NOT have a DropSource object.

There is still an issue I'd like to resolve: I'd like to change the mouse cursor from the red "X" whenever a list item has been dragged over a valid text editor. At this point, the cursor remains "X".

Thanks.

Working xaml:

<igEditors:XamTextEditor x:Name="txtProducedByFermentation" Text="{Binding Attribute1}" Margin="2" Height="24" Width="150" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" AllowDrop="True">

<ig:DragDropManager.DropTarget>

<ig:DropTarget IsDropTarget="True"/>
</ig:DragDropManager.DropTarget>
</igEditors:XamTextEditor>

Hello,

I have reviewed the sample and the documentation. Both provide information as to how set custom cursors. The problem I seem to be having is the cursor is not changing, whether customized or not, when I drag a tree node over the XamTextEdit target. Do I need to set a custom cursor to achieve the behavior I'm looking for? Is there not a standard cursor that appears when hovering over a drop target?

Below is a link to a short video demonstrating what I'm seeing. Note that the standard drag cursor does not change when hovering over the drop target.

Thanks.

Hello,

By default there is a "plus" cursor when you hover over a valid drop target, so I assume there is some issue with your drag and drop logic. If you send me a sample project where this is reproducible I would be able to investigate it further for you.

Looking forward for your reply.

Hello Seth,

I have been looking into Matt's sample and I modified it, so now it works as you want. Basically I created a separate Drag and Drop using Infragistics DragDrop Framework. Please note that this way the built in drag and drop of the XamDataTree won't work. If you want to be able to reorganize the nodes inside the data tree you have to create your own drag drop functionality. 

Hi Stefan,

Here's a video capture of the Infragistics demo program (WpfApplication191) provided at the top of this thread by Matt. It shows the same behavior I'm seeing. Note that I'm on 12.2 at this time.

Thank you.
