NuGet Packages: DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Wpf.Grid.Core, DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

VB.NET

Public Property AllowMoving As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Description
DefaultBoolean	A DefaultBoolean enumeration value that specifies whether an end-user is allowed to move this column.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	Corresponds to a Boolean value of true.
False	Corresponds to a Boolean value of false.
Default	The value is determined by the current object’s parent object setting (e.g., a control setting).

Remarks

End-users are allowed to reorder columns, move them to the Column Chooser or Group Panel via drag-and-drop, if the view’s DataViewBase.AllowColumnMoving property is set to true. Individual columns provide the AllowMoving property, allowing the default behavior specified by the view, to be overridden. Setting the AllowMoving property to ‘True’ or ‘False’ overrides the default behavior. This can be useful when it is required to prevent individual columns from being moved by an end-user.

If the columns AllowMoving property is set to ‘Default’, the ability to move it via drag-and-drop is controlled by the view’s DataViewBase.AllowColumnMoving property. In this instance, to determine whether an end-user can actually move this column, use the BaseColumn.ActualAllowMoving property.
