#Remarks

If the AllowDragDrop property is set to Default or True, an end-user can use drag-and-drop to rearrange tabs. However, in this case, it is not possible to drag-and-drop other objects onto the form’s client region, occupied by the tabs. The form’s drag-and-drop events will not raise, as they are handled and suppressed by the XtraTabbedMdiManager.

If the AllowDragDrop property is set to False, tab drag-and-drop is disabled and the form’s drag-and-drop events are not suppressed.
