drag'n drop from Listbox into a Mindfusion calendar in Silverlight app (Read 9054 times)

	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. Regards, Meppy

	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.
