Between Nodes

RadTreeView enables you to drop Nodes in between other Nodes. Set the EnableDragAndDropBetweenNodes property to True to support this behavior. In the OnNodeDrop event, use the RadTreeNodeDragDropEventArgs DropPosition property to find the relationship of the dropped Nodes and the destination Nodes. In the example below the OnNodeDrop event handler checks to see that the destination Node is not null. The number of Nodes being dragged determines how many times the PerformDragAndDrop() method is called. In the PerformDragAndDrop() method the DropPosition drives the rest of the logic. If the DropPosition is Over then the Nodes are added directly to the destination Nodes collection. If DropPosition is Above, the Nodes are inserted before the destination Node and if Below the Nodes are inserted after the destination Node.
