Key Features
Rich event handling: The drag-drop framework provides a wide set of events that can be used to handle the actions executed upon a drag and drop operation. Using the events you can adjust the drag and drop actions to your very custom application’s logic, thus providing a great flexibility to the end user. Read more about this in the Events article.
Drag visual: The manager uses a drag visual element to follow the mouse while the user performs drag and drop operations. The drag visual appears always on the top of the other UI elements. This feature gives visual feedback about what is dragged and where it will be dropped. It helps the users while reordering elements on the pages. The drag visual could be easily customized to meet the design of your application. Read more about this in the Set Drag Visual article.
Drag threshold: You can choose the minimum vertical and horizontal distance which the user needs to move the mouse to start a drag operation. This can be used to avoid accidental and unwanted dragging.
Integrations between applications: DragDropManager has built-in support for dragging from and to external programs, allowing easy interaction between applications.
