Check the enums for GridDragDropFlags to see the full set of options.

C#
VB.NET
//Turns off being a drop target.        
gridControl1.Model.Options.DragDropDropTargetFlags = GridDragDropFlags.Disabled; 

//Turns on accepting text. 
gridControl1.Model.Options.DragDropDropTargetFlags = GridDragDropFlags.Text;        

//Accepts both text and styles.   
gridControl1.Model.Options.DragDropDropTargetFlags = GridDragDropFlags.Text | GridDragDropFlags.Text;
'Turns off being a drop target. 
gridControl1.Model.Options.DragDropDropTargetFlags = GridDragDropFlags.Disabled

'Turns on accepting text. 
gridControl1.Model.Options.DragDropDropTargetFlags = GridDragDropFlags.Text

'Accepts both text and styles. 
gridControl1.Model.Options.DragDropDropTargetFlags = GridDragDropFlags.Text Or GridDragDropFlags.Text
