| 23 | +## Description |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +I have a draggable TreeView and I want to prevent the user from dropping items in specific locations or folders. How can I achieve this? |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +How to validate the drop target, so I don't allow the user to drop the file if the target is invalid? |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Solution |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +To validate the drop target and prevent the user from dropping on an invalid target, follow these steps: |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +1. Handle the [`OnDrag`]({%slug treeview-events%}#drag-events) event of the TreeView to validate the target based on your requirements. In the example below, we are checking it the user tries to drop an item from the **Documents** folder into the **Pictures** folder - the **Pictures** folder is not a valid target in this case. |
| 34 | +1. Raise a flag if the target is not valid. |
| 35 | +1. Change the icon in the drag clue to indicate the target is not valid. Once the [Drag Clue Template](https://feedback.telerik.com/blazor/1501043-drag-clue-template) is available, you may use it to change the rendering as needed. At the time of writing, changing the icon is only possible with CSS as per the example below. |
| 36 | +1. Include a conditional logic in your [`OnDrop`]({%slug treeview-events%}#drag-events) handler to not perform any action if the target is invalid. |
| 37 | +1. Use CSS to hide the build-in drop hint for the invalid target. |
