If this setting is enabled, you can disable a particular control’s preview with the DragDropBehavior.Properties.PreviewVisible property.
To customize the preview image, use the following options:
the PreviewImage event argument in a DragDropManager.QueryDragPreviewImage event handler
the PreviewImage event argument in a DragDropEvents.BeginDragDrop event handler
