Moving Panels in ASP.NET MVC Dashboard Layout control

Other than drag and drop, it is possible to move the panels in Dashboard Layout programatically. This can be achieved using movePanel method. The method is invoked as follows,

movePanel(id, row, col)

Where,

  • id - ID of the panel which needs to be moved.
  • row - New row position for moving the panel.
  • col - New column position for moving the panel.

Each time a panel’s position is changed(Programatically or through UI interaction), the Dashboard Layout’s change event will be triggered.

The following sample demonstrates moving a panel programatically to a new position in the Dashboard Layout’s created event.

razor
HomeController.cs
@model WebApplication.Controllers.HomeController.spacingModel

<div class="control-section">
    <div>
        @Html.EJS().DashboardLayout("dashboard_default").Columns(5).Created("onCreated").Change("onChange").CellSpacing(Model.cellSpacing).AllowResizing(true).Panels(Panel =>
        {
            Panel.SizeX(1).SizeY(1).Row(0).Col(0).Content("<div class='content'>0</div>").Add();
            Panel.SizeX(3).SizeY(2).Row(0).Col(1).Content("<div class='content'>1</div>").Add();
            Panel.SizeX(1).SizeY(3).Row(0).Col(4).Content("<div class='content'>2</div>").Add();
            Panel.SizeX(1).SizeY(1).Row(1).Col(0).Content("<div class='content'>3</div>").Add();
            Panel.SizeX(2).SizeY(1).Row(2).Col(0).Content("<div class='content'>4</div>").Add();
            Panel.SizeX(1).SizeY(1).Row(2).Col(2).Content("<div class='content'>5</div>").Add();
            Panel.SizeX(1).SizeY(1).Row(2).Col(3).Content("<div class='content'>6</div>").Add();
        }).Render()
    </div>
</div>
<script>
function onCreated(args) {
    // movePanel("id", row, col)
    this.movePanel("layout_0", 1, 0);
}
//Dashboard Layout's change event function
function onChange(args) {
    console.log("Change event triggered");
}

</script>
<style>
    #dashboard_default .e-panel .e-panel-container .content {
        vertical-align: middle;
        font-weight: 600;
        font-size: 20px;
        text-align: center;
        line-height: 90px;
    }
</style>

    public class HomeController : Controller
    {

        {
            public double[] cellSpacing { get; set; }
            public string[] handles { get; set; }
        }
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            spacingModel modelValue = new spacingModel();
            modelValue.cellSpacing = new double[] { 10, 10 };
