How to Disable the Insert Indicator

The DragDropManager.InsertIndicatorVisible setting allows you to disable the insert indicator for all controls. If this setting is enabled, you can disable a particular control’s insert indicator with the DragDropBehavior.Properties.InsertIndicatorVisible property.

How to Customize the Insert Indicator

To customize the insert indicator, handle the DragDropEvents.DragOver event.

The default insert indicator is a semi-transparent rectangle. The InsertIndicatorLocation and InsertIndicatorSize event arguments allow you to change its size and location.

You can also use the InsertIndicator event argument to provide a custom image instead of the default indicator.
