Syntax

Public Event PaneDragStarting As EventHandler(Of PaneDragStartingEventArgs)

Event Data

The event handler receives an argument of type PaneDragStartingEventArgs containing data related to this event. The following PaneDragStartingEventArgs properties provide information specific to this event.

PropertyDescription
AllowDockingIndicatorsWithinDocumentContentHost Returns or sets a boolean indicating whether docking indicators may be displayed for Infragistics.Windows.DockManager.TabGroupPane instances within the Infragistics.Windows.DockManager.DocumentContentHost
Cancel (Inherited from Infragistics.Windows.Controls.Events.CancelableRoutedEventArgs) 
Handled (Inherited from System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route.
InvalidDragActionCursor The cursor that should be displayed by default when the mouse is over an invalid drop location during the drag operation.
OriginalSource (Inherited from System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.Source adjustment by a parent class.
Panes Returns the collection of panes being dragged.
PreventDockingWhileControlKeyIsPressed Returns or sets a boolean indicating whether docking is allowed while the control key is pressed.
RaisePaneDragOverForInvalidLocations Indicates if the PaneDragOver event should be raised even when the mouse is moved over an invalid pane location based on the properties of the panes being dragged.
RootPane Returns the root element that is being dragged.
RoutedEvent (Inherited from System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)Gets or sets the System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.RoutedEvent associated with this System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs instance.
Source (Inherited from System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event.
ValidDragActionCursor The cursor that should be displayed by default when the mouse is over a valid drop location during the drag operation.
Example
This sample demonstrates using the PaneDragStarting event to initialize the cursors. The code samples assume you have a configuration similar to that shown in the xaml snippet.
