Callout Drag Tool

The callout drag tool is represented by the NCalloutDragTool class. When an object of this type is present in the Tools collection it will work with the current Selection to enable annotation dragging.

The following code shows how to create an NCalloutDragTool

chart.ChildPanels.Add(callout2)
NChartControl1.Controller.Tools.Add(New NSelectorTool())
NChartControl1.Controller.Tools.Add(New NCalloutDragTool())

Now when the user can drag the callouts.
