drag'n drop from Listbox into a Mindfusion calendar in Silverlight app

Is it possible to perform a drag from a listbox item into a calendar control ? The listbox is surrounded with the ListBoxDragDropTarget (= SLtoolkit) and the drag operation starts, but in the calendar I do not seem to receive any drag enter, drag over or drop events.
However, if I drag a file from windows explorer over the calendar, the events do get fired.
Thanks !

Hi,

I think you need to create a DragDropTarget implementation for the Calendar class in order to enable Silverlight toolkit drag&drop for it. This might be hard because the toolkit drag&drop appears to be designed specifically for ItemsControl as a target, and Calendar does not inherit from ItemsControl.

I will look for a solution and get back to you.

Regards,
Meppy

But the calendar control does support drag and drop (works from windows explorer), isn't there a way to initiate such a drag action from with silverlight itself (eg. from the listbox) ?

I am trying to list up resources (people) next to the calendar (eg. in a listbox), and the user must be able to drag a person onto the calender for which then an appointment is created. Perhaps there is an easier way to achieve this ?

Thanks again.

Hi,

Check the attached sample. It implements a very simple drag&drop between a ListBox and the Calendar without using the Silverlight toolkit.

I hope it helps.

This seems to work great. Thanks !

FYI: I had also found an alternative way by implementig the IAcceptDrop interface in the control containing the calendar.
But now I find this solution also interesting. I'm not sure yet which one I will use.
