How can i enable my tiles(Windows 8 Apps ) to enable drag and drop. I want my tiles can be dragged and dropped within a gridview. Is there a way I can enable it. I found a post (http://www.progware.org/Blog/post/Drag-and-Drop-in-WinJSUIListView-for-repositioning-items-in-Windows-Store-Apps.aspx[^]) with a demo prog, but it is not working. I am working in javascript and html5. Does WinJS allow us to do such thing

Hi,

Here is how this is done in XAML and C#:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/going_metro/archive/2012/07/16/drag-and-drop-within-a-grouped-grid-view.aspx[^]

The key three properties to achieve the effect are these:

CanDragItems="True"

CanReorderItems="True"

AllowDrop="True".

The same properties should be available from JavaScript.

Thanks,
Frank

I am the writer of the link you are mentioning. I have tested again the demo program (downloaded it and run it) and it executes correctly. What is the issue?
