Dragging and dropping a Widget control in a web page can be done using Selenium advanced interactions namespace (package in Java), here is the fully qualified namespace using OpenQA.Selenium.Interactions;
This can be done using Actions class. The Actions class has different methods like ClickAndHold, MoveToElement, Click etc as shown.
Well, in order to drag and drop a Element from one location to another, its always a wise idea to specify the destination Element where the source element has to be moved, since specifying the co-ordinate will always end-up having miserable results.
To do so following has to be done
Hold the source
Move the element
Release the element
Hence the coding will look like this
Actions action = new Actions(driver);
IAction dragdrop = action.ClickAndHold(element).MoveToElement(toElement).Release(toElement).Build();
dragdrop.Perform();
This does exactly what we are expecting, the drag and drop operation.
