Hello,
I already created a request (CAS-30838-H73XEZ) on this subject on Monday 31.08. but since Monday the status is still "Awaiting assignment". So up to now I think noone has even read my request. Therefore I created this note to ask for some advice. I hope the reaction-time on this note will be "a little bit" shorter!?
Content of my Request:
We are already using DragAndDrop-functionality and intend to customize the drop-behavior, so that it fits to our requirements. Therefore we have to do a certain amount of client-side handling by programming several Javascript functions.
Up to now I read the local and/or online documentation and I searched for specific information in the Knowledge Base or the Forum. Working like that takes a lot of time and is dissatisfying.
So I would like to know if there is any documention like a Reference-Guide in which I could easily find information about the methods and properties e.g. of Infragistics.Web.UI.DragDropManager, Infragistics.Web.UI.DragDropBehavior, the arguments of the event-Handler for DragStart, DragMove etc..
For example:
Today I was searching for the possibility to get the mouse-coordinates at the drop-event and found an answer in the Forum. I learnt that 'evntArgs' of a dragMove-Handler offers 'get_x' and 'get_y' methods. Up to now I only found out, that 'evntArgs' offers a 'get_manager' method. Without the answer of the forum I would never have find a solution for my problem.
Next thing I need to achieve is to position the dropped 'object' exactly at the position of the mouse. So I must know how I can avoid the normal drop-behavior. I hope someone can also give me a general explanation, how I can implement my own behavior instead of the IG-behavior!?
Sincerely,
Christian
You can take advantage of the online version of the documentation following this link:
http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/ASPNET/2009.2/CLR3.5/
It would be nice if the docs were available online or in a PDF format. My company is averse to us downloading and installing software on our PC ourselves.
Hello Tom,
sorry that you had to wait so long for my answer, but I was on holiday until last monday.Thank you very much for the CSOM documentation. I'm sure it will help me.
Hi Christian,
I had someone generate the Client-Side object model docs that include the Drag and Drop manager. Here is the link to download the Help2 file:
http://download.infragistics.com/users/TomP/Aikido_RTM_CSOM.zip
Once you download it, you can use a freely available application to view this help file. One such application is called H2Viewer available here:
http://www.helpware.net/mshelp2/h2viewer.htm
You can just download the executable and run it. The app does not even install, it just runs as a portable app. From the application's main menu, click File / Open File and navigate to the help file that you downloaded. You can then browse the entire API documentation that has all of the client-side objects. I will also let Dev Support know of this post so that they too are in the loop.
Hey Christian,
I am working to see if we can create some API documentation on the Drag n Drop framework. I will let you know. In the meantime, I moved this post to this forum and I will let Dev Support know about your request to achieve this certain functionality.
