Widget drops outside drop-targets

[malcolmswaineMember]

Hi

I have downloaded the docking demo and have it running successfully on a development machine. It all runs fine expect for the fact that I can drop a widget outside of any of the defined drop targets. Is there any way to enforce this so that a user cannot drop a widget in some random location and is constrained to only drop a widget in the

docks?

Many thanks.

Hi malcolmswaine,

By default, the docking windows can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the screen. If you want to restrict the drop only to the docking zones, set the widget’s “mode” property to “docked” when you initialize the widget.

I am using the following syntax:

$(‘#docking’).jqxDocking({ width: ‘100%’, theme: theme, orientation: ‘horizontal’, mode: ‘docked’ });

is that correct for the scenario described?

Many thanks.

Hi malcolmswaine,

Yes, the mode property should be set to “docked”.
