Hi,
I would like to make it so that when a user drags and drops a node they can only drop that node above or below other nodes, and not on top. Basically, I want them to be able to only reorder the nodes using drag & drop and not modify the hierarchy of the TreeView.
I know I can achieve this functionality using the OnClientNodeDropping event, but it is very tedious for the user because the area to drop a node above or below another node is only a few pixels high. I want the dragging and dropping to work like it does with a RadListBox: there is always an arrow showing where the item will be dropped, even if the item you are dragging is directly on top of the destination item.
What is the easiest way to achieve this?
Thank you for your help.

Hello Ty,
I'm afraid there's no easy way to completely disable the drop over nodes. However you can use the OnClientNodeDragging event to change the mouse cursor and indicate that the node can't be dropped over other nodes.
Also, dragging below or above another node is easier when the mouse cursor is moved over the node lines.
I hope this helps.
All the best,
