constrain reorder list drag area like Netflix

Is there a way to make the reorder list constrain the drag item to a column - like Netflix now does on the movie que ?

On the netflix site, when you drag a movie in the que to reorder it, the movie can only go up and down in the list ( you cant drag it all over the page like you can with the Ajax Reorder List...

Thanks for any help

bump anyone ?

Hi Uncleb,

I'm failed to logon the Netflix to get the effect due to the account issue.Based on your description,my understanding of what you want is that you want move a row from a list to another list. Just like move a row from a RecorderList to another.If I have miunderstood, please let me know.

Based on this knowledge, I'm afraid that we cannot achieve it by using RecorderList directly since it is difficult to drag an item across to another RecorderList.However, here is the information maybe you are looking for: http://www.isocra.com/articles/table_dnd.php .

I hope this helps.

thanks Jonathan. The netflix control is a reorder style list that works almost the same way as ajax control, with a few differences.

The main difference is that when you drag an item, it can only go up or down in the list ( physically) The ajax reorder list allows the dragged item to be moved anywhere on the page ( though if it's not released on top of the reorder list , it does nothing)

Hard to explain without seeing it.

it similar to this...

Hi Uncleb,

Based on my research, I'm afraid we cannot find out a easy way to achieve your target except modify the source code. RecorderList is more complex than the most other controls in Ajax Control Toolkit. Fortunately, we can dip into the control since it is open source project. If you have any new finding , sharing them will be greatly appreciated.Thanks.
