 Parameters

 Property Value

Allows applying constraints to the location and size of a box. These constraints are considered when a user modifies the box interactively. They are ignored if box placement is changed programmatically via methods and properties. Currently, the following constrains can be set:

Constraint index	Value
ncMoveDirection	0 - no movement constraints; 1 - users can move the box only horizontally; 2 - users can move the box only vertically;
ncMinWidth	0 - no constraints; any other value specifies the minimal box width allowed;
ncMinHeight	0 - no constraints; any other value specifies the minimal box height allowed;
ncMaxWidth	0 - no constraints; any other value specifies the maximal box width allowed;
ncMaxHeight	0 - no constraints; any other value specifies the maximal box height allowed;
ncKeepInsideDiagram	0 - no constraints; otherwise the user is prevents from dragging nodes outside of the flowchart boundaries;

This sample disables moving or resizing a box vertically.
