WebDragDropExtender component is built around Extender type of design and pattern. Extender means that the component itself has no standalone User Interface or Element. Extender type components usually take existing controls as the input then add specific behaviors and extend the functionality of the controls.
WebDragDropExtender supports the following type of controls:
- Built-in ASP.NET Server control
You can easily assign a server control, such as <asp:Panel> or <asp:Image>, to have either drag behavior or drop behavior. You can specify the server control by using markup declaratively or through designer. The most recommended way to add a drag or drop control is via designer. In the collection editor, you can click on the dropdown button that appears in the ControlID property, and then quickly selects a server control from the list. - Html element
By default, html elements are not retrieved in the ControlID editor. However, you can assign a html element by its client ID to the ControlID property directly. For instance, <ISWebDesktop:DragControl ControlID="Div1">. - Intersoft controls
In addition to basic controls like built-in ASP.NET Server controls and html elements, WebDragDropExtender is built upon open-architecture leveraging custom interfaces and common/base classes. This enables a tight integration between WebDragDropExtender component and Intersoft WebUI Studio.NET® family products. For instance, the WebDragDropExtender can automatically interact with WebDesktopManager's elements such as task bar and shortcut icons. To learn more about the integration features, please refer to Integration with Intersoft Controls.
