FlowLayoutControl.AllowItemMoving Property

Gets or sets whether items are allowed to be moved to new positions via drag-and-drop. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.LayoutControl

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.LayoutControl

#Declaration

public bool AllowItemMoving { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

A Boolean value that specifies whether dragging-and-dropping items is enabled.

#Remarks

If the AllowItemMoving property is set to true, an end-user is able to rearrange items via drag-and-drop.

Note that dragging-and-dropping an item is supported if the item doesn’t process mouse events itself.

You can turn a moving animation effect on/off using the FlowLayoutControl.AnimateItemMoving property. If the moving animation is enabled, after the moved item is released, a specified amount of time elapses before the item takes its new position. This time is stored in the FlowLayoutControl.ItemDropAnimationDuration field. The FlowLayoutControl.ItemMovingAnimationDuration property specifies how long the moving animation lasts.
