Remarks

The DiagramControl fires the QueryItemsAction event to configure the appearance of visual elements such as adorners and the cursor type. It is not recommended to use the QueryItemsAction event to track the user actions.

The event’s Items property returns the collection of queried diagram items. The Action property returns the queried action.

Set the Allow property to false to restrict the action.
