DataViewBase.AllowColumnMoving Property

Gets or sets whether an end-user is allowed to move columns by dragging their headers. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v22.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#

public bool AllowColumnMoving { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AllowColumnMoving As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true to allow an end-user to move columns; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If the AllowColumnMoving property is set to true, users can do the following:

• Reorder columns.
• Drag a column outside of the GridControl to hide the column.
• Drag a column to the Group Panel to group the GridControl against this column.

Individual columns provide the BaseColumn.AllowMoving property, that allows the default behavior specified by the view to be overridden. For instance, if the AllowColumnMoving property is set to true, you can set an individual column’s BaseColumn.AllowMoving property to ‘False’. As a result, an end-user can move all columns displayed within the view, except this one particular column.
