Hi,

Using Freetreeview for asp2.0, I want to be able to drag a node to the root of the tree.
Sample:

node1
--node1-1
--node1-2
node2
--node2-1
--node2-2
----node2-2-1
----node2-2-1

(drag node2-2-1 to root -->).
Result:

node1
--node1-1
--node1-2
node2
--node2-1
--node2-2
----node2-2-1
node3 (former node2-2-1)

As work around I tried to create a div just above the treeview, drag items to it and have the item client side added to the treeview. No luck so far. any hint?

hmm ok, reading this topic: http://www.9rays.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=843 I understand that it cannot be doen because you cannot add nodes to the root on the client side.

Can you think of a way to re-route this to the server side?

Haha nice... conversation with me, myself and... I

Anyways.

I read http://www.9rays.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1045 and after updating to the latest version I got it to work: created a dropzonde just above the tree where root-nodes can be vreated.

The thing I can't get to work is setting the image for the new node.
I tried it this way:
- newNode.ImageUrl = \"$office2003_folder\";
- newNode.Tag = \"dragfolder\";
- newNode.DragDropName = \"dragfolder\";
- newNode.DragDropAcceptNames = \"dragfolder,dragitem\";

No luck here. Tips?

The code above work for creating a new node. The mentioned types \"dragfolder\" and  \"dragitem\" came dragged-in from some listboxes to my dragzone..
But I still have trouble when the dragged item is a node from the treeview.
My code:

if (flytreeview_dragObject.value instanceof CFlyTreeNode)
{
    treeview.addNode(flytreeview_dragObject);
}

The exception throwd is: Microsoft JScript runtime error: '_fv32' is null or not an object

There mus be another way

please..........

Regarding this code:
if (flytreeview_dragObject.value instanceof CFlyTreeNode)
{
treeview.addNode(flytreeview_dragObject);
}


Notice that not flytreeview_dragObject is CFlyTreeNode but flytreeview_dragObject.value. So your code should look like the following:
if (flytreeview_dragObject.value instanceof CFlyTreeNode)
{
treeview.addNode(flytreeview_dragObject.value);
}



I think I've replied in my previous message regarding client-side properties like DragDropName.

Still no luck.

To be clear: I drag a node from my treeview to adiv, like in the demo app the dropzone. But I do not want the dragged node removed, I want to make it a root-node. This could be a work-around for dragging nodes to the root.

The errer I get is:

Error occurred:
Invalid access to function to be used with node without owner treeview.

yes the reason is that the node should have no parent before addNode() call.

The problem is that CFlyTreeNode.clone() isn't still public.
We had a small meeting here. The clone method will be public. Product will be tested for a while and get published in several hours.

So finally you should try to use (download the latest build)

if (flytreeview_dragObject.value instanceof CFlyTreeNode)
{
treeview.addNode(flytreeview_dragObject.value.clone());
}

small problem though....

If the dragged node contains childnodes, it....disappears

Single node works ok.

edit: when I drag a node with a chuild node, the dragged node disappears, while the childnode gets added to the root. When there are multiple child nodes, only the last one survives.

So what are you doing finally:
Do you create a node with children and then try to add them?

Could you please provide me with the detailed source code for what you do?

We'll then try to create a copy of your task and push it into samples project.

Thanks.

What I am trying to do is find a way to drag a (populated) node from soemwhere in the tree to the root of the tree.
To accomplish this I created a \"dropzone\" just above the treeview, where I drop the (populated)  node. At that point I do this:

var treeview = CFlyTreeView.getInstanceById(\"ftvMenu\");
if (flytreeview_dragObject.value instanceof CFlyTreeNode)
{    
   treeview.addNode(flytreeview_dragObject.value.clone());
}

result: if it was a single non-populated node: it gets added to the root.
If it was a populated node, then the very last subnode get added to the root of the targettree. The rest disappears.
