Remarks
If the AllowModifyDependencies option is enabled, users can change a task’s predecessor or successor. Users can remove a dependency or attach it to another task if the mouse pointer hovers over the dependency arrow. To create a new dependency, use pointers displayed at task edges.

Note
The Editable option must be enabled and the ReadOnly option must be disabled to allow users to modify tasks.
You can handle the following events to customize an operation:
- TaskDependencyModification — repeatedly fires when the user modifies a task’s dependency.
- TaskDependencyModificationCanceled — fires when the user presses Esc to cancel the operation.
- TaskDependencyModificationCompleted — fires when a user finishes modifying a dependency. Allows you to cancel the operation.
- TaskDependencyModified — fires when a task’s dependency is successfully modified.
