Description

Hi,
I am currently working on a graphical editor for tree structures and therefor i want to implement a toolbox from which the user can drag nodes of type "Graph" into a workspace, the node object in the toolbox should stay in the toolbox, in the workspace only a copy of the node object should be created. Basically I try to move/copy a Graph object from the "toolbox graphviewer" to the "target graphviewer" with drag&drop. How can I implement such toolbox with MSAGL in WPF?

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue mentions MSAGL, WPF, Graph objects, GraphViewer, and drag-and-drop, but names no source files or tests. Start by finding the WPF GraphViewer entry points and existing drag-and-drop examples. Done would require a defined toolbox behavior that keeps the source Graph and creates a copy in the target workspace.
