Editing Restrictions
Our Diagram widget allows you to restrict edit operations as needed. To prohibit a specific operation, set its corresponding option within the editing property to false.
In this demo, the onRequestEditOperation function implements complex logic to determine whether an operation is allowed. The updateUI event parameter indicates whether the event is raised by a user action or via a UI update. If a user tries to perform a prohibited action, an error message is displayed.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
If you have technical questions, please create a support ticket in the DevExpress Support Center.
