Please let us know what you think of this
 
Thanks
 
 
Andre,
 
What do I have to do to get your attention? (Don't say I have to use IssueTracker because it has been almost 5 days now without even a reply...)
 
Is it that hard? I just need an answer so I can move on!!!
 
Thanks

So far, I can get D&D to work twice now, but the bad news is that the more I fight with this, the more I think that it makes more sense to use the Tag property to store any "outside" information (such as DatabaseRecordID). You can even create a class to track multiple pieces of external information and then store instances of the class in each Tag property of each ReportRecord.

Maybe there could be a CJ implemented option to only move rows, and not affect the order of the records, but I'll leave that up to you and Andre to discuss.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

 
Hi Jason,
 
I looked up the word discuss:
SYNONYMS   discuss, argue, debate, dispute, contend. These verbs mean to talk with others in an effort to reach agreement, to ascertain truth, or to convince. Discuss involves close examination of a subject with interchange of opinions
 
What is there to discuss if you are the only one who is replying? We can discuss all we want but for what??? if no one from support joins this discussion? TongueTongueTongue
 
 
Andre, is this implementation possible in VERY near future?

  • Would be nice if Drag&Drop in IconView showed an insertion point like it does in Report view as Jason proposed

As a side note - Andre, it would be nice if Drag&Drop in IconView showed an insertion point like it does in Report view. Any chance of this being added?]]> Tue, 05 Jul 2011 11:30:45 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18610&PID=65122&title=reopened-dragdrop-in-iconview#65122 <![CDATA[[RE-OPENED] Drag&Drop in Iconview : Sorry Aaron, I came down with...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=18610&PID=65121&title=reopened-dragdrop-in-iconview#65121 Author: jpbro

Crap, think I screwed it up - working on a fix and I'll get back to you shortly.

Seems we needed .SortedDragDrop = True. I've cleaned up the code a bit, but there are no comments so if you have any questions just get back to me.

It seems to be working okay, I haven't tested it too much though, so if there are any bugs, get back to me of course!

Hi Jason,
 
Moving records isn't what I ment, moving Rows is what I basicly need Wink
 
Your demo does that but only one time hehehe, I will look at it later on.
 
Thanks a lot

I was working on Drag & Drop with you-know-who a long time ago, but it was so painful, I gave up after a while. Maybe we can pick things up again with Andre.

I would prefer if there would be a setting where only the records would be moved

I'm a bit confused because as far as I can tell only the records are being move. What else is being moved that I am missing?


--
I've attached a slightly modified demo that tries to preserve the Record positions, by intercepting the DragDrop and modifies the SortPriority on the fly. It seems to work, but only once. After that the Drop events stop firing. It would be nice to have some way to cancel the Drop in a BeforeDropRecords event.

Here's what I have so far:

I would prefer if there would be a setting where only the records would be moved. I never used D&D before so I can't tell if it worked before (ever...)
 
Andre??? I don't mind if you join this discussion...
 
Thanks a lot Jason, for the replies, I will see what I can do and maybe just maybe Andre will have the "perfect" solution. (read: implementation Wink) within next release...
