Extra field and export to xml

Hi,

What should I do if I want to add extra field into shape node?
i.e. can I have 2 values assigned to one shapnode?

I know that there is an API to export the diagram to XML. I would like to know if I could expand the use of it? Like export the new values too so that I can obtained it from the xml creating.

Thanks.

Hi,

You could add extra fields either by deriving from ShapeNode, or by defining the fields in a separate class and using its objects as ShapeNode.Tag values.

If you derive from ShapeNode, you can override its saveToXml and loadFromXml methods to add code for serialization of the extra fields. If using tags, handle the serializeTag and deserializeTag events to do that.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
