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.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

public bool AllowItemMoving { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AllowItemMoving As Boolean

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.
