Drag and Drop

SpreadJS supports using the mouse to drag and move cells, cell ranges, and cells in tables. You can move the mouse pointer to the edge of a selected cell, column, row, or cell range and then click and drag the selected range to the new location.

The following table depicts the operation and events available in a Spread worksheet:

You can allow or prevent drag-drop operations by using the spread option allowUserDragDrop. It accepts a boolean value and has the default value of ‘true’, allowing drag-drop of the selected cell or range of cells in an active sheet or in a table.

The following code sample shows how to disable the drag and drop of cells in a worksheet.

var spread = new GC.Spread.Sheets.Workbook(document.getElementById("ss"),{sheetCount:3});
var sheet = spread.getActiveSheet();
// Disable drag and drop of cells
spread.options.allowUserDragDrop = false;

The following actions cannot be performed when using the drag-drop operations:

• Dragging cells into a pivot table area.

• Dragging multiple ranges.

• Shifting cells that affect a table or pivot table.

• Shifting cell ranges in a table where the cell range is not the same size as the table area.

Cell Operations

The following drag and drop operations can be performed to a cell or cell range in SpreadJS.

Table Operations

The following drag and drop operations can be performed to a table cell or cell range in SpreadJS.

Note: The table behavior described requires both start range and end range to be included in the same table except the header row and should be the entire row, otherwise it obeys the "cells" behavior.
