I can't think of an easy way to limit where something can be dragged, but if you check the dragInitiator on the DragEvent and it is not the same as the DG it is over, you can call preventDefault() on the DragEvent and deny the drop. There should be doc on how to deny drops by calling preventDefault on DragEvents.

I have multiple datagrids on a page, each one I want sortable with drag and drop, but I don't want items drug from one control to the other. How can I prevent a user from dragging an item out of a conrol. I would prefer to have it just stop moving with the mouse, but I am prepared to just completely cancel out of the dragging if need be. I was trying to do something like this dragExit="dragEvent.CANCEL" This is obviously wrong, but I can't find the correct way to do it. Thanks in advance. ~Mike
