The following events are available in dhtmlxTree:

• Drag-and-Drop Events:
  • onBeforeDrag - occurs when item's dragging starts (the item is selected and the mouse is moving);
  • onDrag - occurs when the item was dragged and dropped on some other item, but before item's moving is processed;

  • onDrop - occurs when drag-and-drop had already been processed; also occurs when the nodes are moved programmatically;

The user can add any user-defined handler to available events. To do this he can use attachEvent() method with the following parameters:

• evName - name of the event;
• evHandler - user-defined event handler.

tree.attachEvent(evName, evHandler);

Several handlers can be attached to one and the same event, and all of them will be executed.
Note: the names of the events are case-sensitive.

There is a simple way of removing an event-handler:

tree.detachEvent(id); // unique id of the event handler
