Hi Stoyan

I've just started to use the overview control from the v1 release, but I'm don't seem to be able to get anything to display in it.

I'm setting the Diagram property to a reference of my already existing diagram in VB, rather than XAML - are there any breaking changes that may have effected this or am I managing to do somethign wrong again?

Regards

Hi Stoyan

My diagram setting line is as follows:

oOverview.Diagram = oFlow

Where oFlow is my existing diagram instance. Initially I had this line in the control contsructor, but as it seemed to have no effect I tried putting it in the Control.Loaded event but again with no effect.

Hi Stoyan

My last post had a typo - I am indeed setting the Document property, not the Diagram

Hi stoyan

I created a new project as a test environment for this, to ensure nothing else I've been doing interferes.

I create the Overview via MS Blend and then set the Document using VB.

the Form XAML is as follows:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
x:Class="Window1"
x:Name="Window"
Title="Window1"
Width="640" Height="480"
xmlns:MindFusion_Diagramming_Wpf="clr-namespace:MindFusion.Diagramming.Wpf;assem
bly=MindFusion.Diagramming.Wpf">

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<MindFusion_Diagramming_Wpf:Diagram Margin="8,130,292,110" x:Name="oFlow"/>
<MindFusion_Diagramming_Wpf:Overview HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,139,38,125" Width="235" Content="Overview" x:Name="oOverview" />
</Grid>
</Window>

The following shows where I have attempted to set the document property:

Partial Public Class Window1
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

Me.InitializeComponent()


' Insert code required on object creation below this point.

'oOverview.Document = oFlow
End Sub

Private Sub Window1_Initialized(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Initialized

'oOverview.Document = oFlow
End Sub

Private Sub Window1_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Me.Loaded

oOverview.Document = oFlow
End Sub
End Class

I have also noticed it is not possible to set the Document property via VS properties interface.

[Edit]
I just noticed that the 2 properties  you mentioned are not included in teh default XAML:

Scale factor is set to 30 - this seems to be unchangeable in the Blend UI - the xaml will update but the UI property value always reverts to 30.

Fit all is True.

Excellent news - my boss will be happy   The content tag was automaticly populated by MS Blend.

Thanks for all the assisance.

Hi Paul,

The border appearance cannot be changed at this time. For the next release we'll add a property to let you do that.
