WPF ListView Databound Drag/Drop Auto Scroll

Question

I\'ve been working with Bea\'s solution here for a while and finding it very helpful. Problem now I\'m having is when I drag-n-drop items within or to another ListView control

Answer 1

I'm still messing around with this exact same issue too. I'm using a slightly modified version of Bea's Drag and Drop found here, which is in VB instead of C#. When I used ScrollIntoView as described above, I could scroll down but not up. So I messed around and came up with this as my DropTarget_PreviewDragOver:

 Private Sub DropTarget_PreviewDragOver(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DragEventArgs)
        Dim draggedItem As Object = e.Data.GetData(Me.m_format.Name)
        Me.DecideDropTarget(e)
        If (Not draggedItem Is Nothing) Then
            If (TypeOf m_targetItemsControl Is ListBox) Then
                Dim lb As ListBox = CType(m_targetItemsControl, ListBox)
                Dim temp As Integer = m_insertionIndex
                Dim scroll As ScrollViewer = Utilities.GetScrollViewer(lb)
                If scroll.VerticalOffset = temp Then
                    temp -= 1
                End If
                If temp >= 0 And temp <= (lb.Items.Count - 1) Then
                    lb.ScrollIntoView(lb.Items(temp))
                End If
            End If
            Me.ShowDraggedAdorner(e.GetPosition(Me.m_topWindow))
            Me.UpdateInsertionAdornerPosition()
        End If
        e.Handled = True
    End Sub

and I had to include this utility function, taken from here

    Public Shared Function GetScrollViewer(ByVal listBox As ListBox)
    Dim scroll_border As Decorator = CType(VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(listBox, 0), Decorator)
    If (TypeOf scroll_border Is Decorator) Then
        Dim scroll As ScrollViewer = CType(scroll_border.Child, ScrollViewer)
        If (TypeOf scroll Is ScrollViewer) Then
            Return scroll
        Else
            Return Nothing
        End If
    Else
        Return Nothing
    End If


End Function

which is great and all. Then running out what theuberk mentioned above with the adorner moving, and in the spirit of making this easy for someone else later, I added a variable to the DragDropAdorner class:

    Private m_mouseDelta As Point

Added this to the last line of DragSource_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown:

        Me.m_mouseDelta = e.GetPosition(m_sourceItemContainer)

And turned ShowDraggedAdorner into:

    Private Sub ShowDraggedAdorner(ByVal currentPosition As Point)
    If (Me.m_draggedAdorner Is Nothing) Then
        Dim adornerLayer As AdornerLayer = adornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(Me.m_topWindow.Content)
        Me.m_draggedAdorner = New DraggedAdorner(Me.m_draggedData, DragDropBehavior.GetDragTemplate(Me.m_sourceItemsControl), m_topWindow.Content, adornerLayer)
    End If
    Me.m_draggedAdorner.SetPosition((currentPosition.X - m_mouseDelta.X), (currentPosition.Y - m_mouseDelta.Y))
    End Sub
