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
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.
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.
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.
