Filling Cells with Drag and Drop

You can allow the end user to drag-and-drop data from one range of cells to another. You can specify whether the user can select a cell or range of cells and drag and drop them to a new location in the same spreadsheet or another spreadsheet in the Spread component. When the mouse button is released and the range of cells is dropped, the DragDropBlock event occurs.

For more information, refer to the AllowDragDrop property in the FpSpread class. For more information on event arguments, refer to DragDropBlock event, DragDropBlockEventArgs, and DragDropBlockCompletedEventArgs.
