BaseLayoutItem.HeaderBarContainerControlAllowDrop Property

Gets or sets whether a bar can be dropped onto the bar container displayed in the current panel. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Docking

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Docking.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Docking

#Declaration

public bool? HeaderBarContainerControlAllowDrop { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Nullable<Boolean>

A Nullable Boolean value that specifies whether a bar can be dropped onto the bar container displayed in the current panel.

#Remarks

Each dock panel (LayoutPanel and DocumentPanel) contains a bar container at the top edge that accepts bars from the DXBars library. If the HeaderBarContainerControlAllowDrop property is set to false or null, an end-user is not able to drag and drop a bar onto the bar container for this panel.

It’s possible to add a bar to a dock panel’s bar container in code, regardless of the HeaderBarContainerControlAllowDrop property’s value. This can be accomplished via the BaseLayoutItem.HeaderBarContainerControlName property.
