I want to achieve the same result as the default implementation when it blocks me from dropping a node to itself or its parent, but to other nodes of my choice. How can I achieve this?

To make the control generic I've subclassed NTreeViewEx and overrided ApplyDragDrop method as follow to add a new event ItemAllowDrag: public class MyTreeViewEx : NTreeViewEx { public delegate bool MyItemDragDropEventHandler(object sender, NLightUIItemDragDropEventArgs e); public event MyItemDragDropEventHandler ItemAllowDrag; protected override void ApplyDragDrop(NLightUIItemDragDropEventArgs e) { if (ItemAllowDrag != null) { if (!ItemAllowDrag(this, e)) return; } base.ApplyDragDrop(e); } } And then I attached 2 events to my control: private bool TreeList_ItemAllowDrag(object sender, NLightUIItemDragDropEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.Name == "FOLDER") return false; if (e.DragOverItem.Name == "COMPONENT") return false; return true; } private void TreeList_ItemDrag(object sender, NLightUIItemDragDropEventArgs e) { NLightUIItem DragOverItem = TreeList.ItemFromPoint(e.MousePosition); if (e.Item.Name != "COMPONENT") e.Cursor = Cursors.No; else if (DragOverItem != null && DragOverItem.Name == "COMPONENT") e.Cursor = Cursors.No; else e.Cursor = null; } Is it possible to also avoid the node hover effect? Thanks, Juan
