Assembly: Northwoods.GoDiagram.WinForms.dll
Syntax
public class PanningTool : Tool
Remarks

This tool is a standard mouse-move tool, the PanningTool. Although the DragSelectingTool takes precedence over this tool, the DragSelectingTool only starts if there is a delay after a mouse-down event. If it does not start, then this PanningTool gets a chance to start.

This tool does not utilize any Adornments or tool handles. This tool does not modify the model or conduct any transaction.

If you want to programmatically "pan" the diagram, you can just set Position or call methods such as Scroll(string, string, double), ScrollToRect(Rect), or CenterRect(Rect).
