Remarks

To receive this event, set the CanDragItems property to true.

This event occurs when you start a drag-and-drop operation, including when you perform a reorder operation by drag-and-drop. When you perform custom actions as a result of a drag-and-drop operation, you typically listen to this event and provide more data using the TreeViewDragItemsStartingEventArgs.Data property.

You can inspect the items being dragged by checking the TreeViewDragItemsStartingEventArgs.Items property.

You can cancel the drag operation by setting the TreeViewDragItemsStartingEventArgs.Cancel property to true.
