Dependencies

Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors

Usage

Compile ReoderBehavor project to get the dll or take the Reordering.cs class and implement it to any of your projects.

Using in XAML

To use reorderingbehavor in XAML you need to declare namespaces for ReorderingBehavior assembly and xaml.behaviors

xmlns:reorder="clr-namespace:ReoderBehavior;assembly=ReoderBehavior"
xmlns:I="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xaml/behaviors"

Attach the behavior to a control (must be a child of Canvas)

<Rectangle Canvas.Left="250" Canvas.Top="20">
  <I:Interaction.Behaviors>
      <reorder:Reordering/>
  </I:Interaction.Behaviors>
</Rectangle>

Using in code behind

Add Reordering.cs to your project or ReorderingBehavior.dll assembly to dependencies.

using ReoderBehavior;
using Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors;

C# code

Button b = new Button();
Reordering reorder = new Reordering();
mainCanvas.Children.Add(b);
reorder.Attach(b);
Interaction.GetBehaviors(b).Add(reorder);
