How can I only drag items in between items in a tree

[biscuit]

Hi,

I'm using LabView 2011.  I am using a tree and I want the user to be able to reorganize it.  The parent is called "test #" and it can have unlimited children called "step #".  Test needs to always be the uppermost parent and step always needs to be a child of a test.

A tree may look like this:

Test 1

 - Step 1

 - Step 2

Test 2

 - Step 1

Test 3

 - Step 1

 - Step 2

 - Step 3

Etc...

What I want the user to do is be able to grab a test and reorder it.  For example, I want test 1 to be able to go behind test 2 to look like this:

Test 2

 - Step 1

Test 1

 - Step 1

 - Step 2

Test 3

 - Step 1

 - Step 2

 - Step 3

I only want dropping between items, not in items.

How can I do accomplish this?

Thanks.

I haven't received an answer yet.  If someone needs this to be expalined better or has any questions, I'll gladly give more info.

Hey Biscuit!

Sorry for the long response time.

Dragging and dropping in your tree menu is entirely possible.

I'm assuming you're using the tree as a control.

In the block diagram, right-click on the tree icon, and create a property node

(Right click -> Create -> Property Node -> Drag/Drop -> Allow Item Drag)

You'll want to expand the property node to allow space for several properties to fine-tune the behavior.  I've attached a screenshot of what my property node looks like.
