OK I figured this out, you add the AnchorPoint to the node itself, not the rows.

But if I do this I seem to lose the snapping behavior. The link no longer snaps. It does snap when I return to adding the anchor point to the row's anchor point collection however.

That makes sense. What kind of node would be fixed size and that I could make invisible or have the same bg and border color as the background color of the caption and therefore hide the fact that its there?

Hi Stoyo,

I am having the same problem that someone else mentioned: I've added an anchor point to a tablenode - I can see the anchor point, but I can not attach a link to it.

I've set AllowIncomingLinks to true for both the tablenode and the AnchorPoint.  Also, I have commented out all of my link handling events, so I am pretty sure I am not setting the event to null in my code.

This tablenode has 2 rows each with 2 anchor points that allow incoming and outgoing links. This works OK.

Here is a snippet of my code:

           // try to add anchor point to tablenode, not a row
           tablenode.AllowIncomingLinks = true;
           ArrayList CaptionAnchorList = new ArrayList();
           CaptionAnchorList.Clear();
           AnchorPoint CaptionAnchorPoint = new AnchorPoint(50, 10, true, true);
           CaptionAnchorPoint.AllowIncoming = true;
           CaptionAnchorList.Add(CaptionAnchorPoint);
           AnchorPattern AnchorPattern = new AnchorPattern((AnchorPoint[])CaptionAnchorList.ToArray(typeof(AnchorPoint)));
           tablenode.AnchorPattern = AnchorPattern;
           
         

I am really puzzled.  Thanks for any help.

Stoyo,
Thanks!  That's what I needed to do.

For any other developers:

tablenode.ConnectionStyle = TableConnectionStyle.Both;
