Enable drag from grid

Hi Team,

I want to enable only drag functionality in grid and not drop?
and In tree only allow drop functionality and not drag.

How to do it?

Thanks

Please, see the article http://www.dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxGrid/doc/articles/Managed_Drag_and_Drop.html

You can try to use onDrag event handler:

grid.attachEvent("onDrag",function(sid,tid,bid,sobj,tobj){
if(tobj == grid) return false
return true
})
tree.attachEvent("onDrag",function(sid,tid,bid,sobj,tobj){
if(sobj == tree) return false
return true
})

grid.attachEvent("onDragIn",function(sid,tid,sobj,tobj){
if(tobj == grid) return false
return true
})

The full list of events can be found in the documentaiton:

dhtmlxGrid/doc/events.html
dhtmlxTree/doc/events.html

Based on your code example, how do I actually determine if it is a "grid"?  When I break into debug mode in JavaScript and show my locals variables, I do not see a "type" property or anything similiar that I could use to determine if tobj == grid.

grid.attachEvent("onDragIn",function(sid,tid,sobj,tobj){
if(tobj == grid) return false
return true
})

when dragging into the grid I see a dragContext.source and dragContext.target that I can use, but when I drag from tree to tree I do not get that property.

>>Based on your code example, how do I actually determine if it is a "grid"? 
The sobj and tobj are references to the component objects, you can compare them with known instances of tree

grid.attachEvent("onDragIn",function(sid,tid,sobj,tobj){
if(tobj == grid) return false

here grid is no a some special name - but real variable used for storign reference of grid object.

>> I do not see a "type" property or anything similiar that I could use to determine if tobj == grid.
Its not part of public api, but you can use 
if (tobj.mytype=="tree") action_for_tree();
else action_for_grid();

>>when dragging into the grid I see a dragContext
dragContext is a grid specific object, there is no such object available for d-n-d operation in tree.
