Dashboard Surface
The Dashboard Surface is the rectangular area displaying the dashboard that you are designing. This area includes dashboard items and the dashboard title.
Here, you can customize a dashboard items layout using drag-and-drop operations, and specify dashboard item settings using its context menus.

- The DashboardDesignerLayoutSettings.DropIndicatorUpdateTimeout property specifies the update timeout (in milliseconds) for the drop indicator.
- The DashboardDesignerLayoutSettings.DragIndicatorShowTimeout property specifies the show timeout (in milliseconds) for the drag/drop indicator.
- The DashboardDesignerLayoutSettings.DragDropIndicatorAlphaLevel property allows you to specify the transparency level (0 to 255) for the drag/drop indicator.
- The DashboardDesignerLayoutSettings.ResizingAreaThickness property specifies the thickness (in pixels) of the resizing area.
