Add drag events to DragablzItemsControl

[mgnslndh]

It would be nice to have drag events on the DragablzItemsControl so that you can use "event-to-command" binding in MVVM scenarios and let the view model get notified.

Today I have to use AddHandler on the view to add a routed event handler and manually invoke the command on the view.

In my specific scenario I use the control to order items by dragging them in the desired order. I am interested in the DragCompleted event so that I can commit the order of items to their view models.

Currently we have the PositionMonitor which allows communication back to view models without having to use the said pattern (.Interactivity, or whatever).

I will expand this t provide more information. Currently it gives "real time" X,Y updates, but I can also add an event for when a drag operation completes.

wowsers.

I already did this. A long time ago. You want to use a StackPositionMonitor (HorizontalPositionMonitor). It's already in action in the demo.

Although I guess the event would still be useful, unless you put a throttle on the StackPositionMonitor

Yes, I am using the HorizontalPositionMonitor but It would be nice if it provided notification of the order when the drag is complete in a separate event.

The current implementation allows me to indicate when the user is reordering items but I also want to know when the drag is complete which means the order is set and should be updated to some other items.

OK cool.

Is this handled ? Just asking because i need to implement it too. By the way how did you manage to implement HorizontalPositionMonitor? In my project I crate instance of this class and listen for OrderChanged event but that event never fires...what I am doing wrong? Thanks
