Workspace Page Dragging

Applicable Properties:

• AllowPageDrag
• DragPageNotify

Applicable Events:

• BeginPageDrag
• AfterPageDrag

AllowPageDrag
A default value of True allows the user to drag pages around the workspace in order to modify the layout of the contents. You can drag individual page headers such as the tabs and check buttons that represents pages in a typical cell appearance. If the cell has been modified to display in a header mode such as HeaderGroup then you can drag all the pages it contains in one go by dragging the primary header of the cell. Setting this property to False will prevent any user dragging from occuring.

DragPageNotify
When this property is left as the default null you can only drag and drop pages within the individual Workspace instance. In order to combine this control with other page dragging enabled controls you need to explicitly assign a IDragPageNotify interface to this property. Krypton provides an implementation of this interface called DragManager and it allows you to link together multiple drag sources and targets. For example, to allow two Workspace instances to have pages dragged between them you can use the following simple code:-

      DragManager dm = new DragManager();  

      // Add page dragging sources  
      kryptonWorkspace1.DragPageNotify = dm;  
      kryptonWorkspace2.DragPageNotify = dm;  
  
      // Add page drop targets  
      dm.DragTargetProviders.Add(kryptonWorkspace1);  
      dm.DragTargetProviders.Add(kryptonWorkspace2);

For a more detailed explanation for how page dragging occurs within Krypton you should read the top-level Page Dragging section.

BeginPageDrag, AfterPageDrag
These events are fired before and after the page drag operation. For more details see Events.
