XAMLflix Introduces RadDragAndDrop

Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadDragAndDrop for Silverlight and WPF. I hope you have been enjoying the series as last week we took a look at RadTreeView and RadDocking.

What is XAMLflix you might ask? Well, it is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Each and every Thursday, we will provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control. Since our Silverlight and WPF share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use these controls once! You can simply copy and paste the code between frameworks.

Be sure to check out www.telerik.com/xamlflix for all the videos!

RadDragAndDrop – Drag and Dropping Made Easy!

RadDragAndDrop for Silverlight/WPF allows users to drag any element and drop it onto any other element. The associated events allow users to completely handle the Drag And Drop process, thus easily building complex and flexible business logic. The Drag And Drop Manager allows Drag-Drop operations to be implemented between any two controls. The manager can generate visual cues to help the user and will automatically scroll ScrollViewers to reveal content.

• Getting Started with RadDragAndDrop – In this video, we will see how easy it is to take two Listboxes and Drag and Drop items between them using RadDragAndDrop. (Download the Project)
• Enabling and Customizing the Arrow Cue with RadDragDrop – In this video, we are going to enable the arrow cue for your users to easily distinguish between what item is dropped where and customize the color of it. (Download the Project)
• Combining the Drag and Drop Framework with RadTabControl – In this video, we are going to use the Drag and Drop framework with the RadTabControl. Your user will be able to drag and drop items between tabs quickly and easily. (Download the Project)
