This example contains a tree view of departments, sections and employees. You can move employees between sections by drag and drop.
Source for the Employee Drag and Drop Tree
Copy and paste this code to a form and compile and execute it. Note that you must have the Source for the DD_EMPPL Payload in a compiled reusable part for this example to work.
