TShape.DragMode Property

Determines how the control initiates drag-and-drop or drag-and-dock operations.

Pascal

property DragMode: TDragMode;

C++

__property TDragMode DragMode;

Description

Use DragMode to control when the user can drag the control. Disable the drag-and-drop or drag-and-dock capability at runtime by setting the DragMode property value to dmManual. Enable automatic dragging by setting DragMode to dmAutomatic.

C++ Examples:

Copy Code

/*
The following code uses GetNodeAt to add a dragged node as a
child of the node under the mouse when it is dropped.  This
example requires a populated TreeView.  Also, the TTreeView
DragMode property set to dmAutomatic, and the TTreeView
OnDragOver event handler must be implemented to accept the
drop.
