Hi.
After reading many threads in this forum Im confused because of my situation.

Descriptionof my situation:

1) I have:
- my own class ClsMMTableNode inherited from TableNode
- registered this class via RegisterItemClass method

2) In diagram I would like to work with objects of ClsMMTableNode class instead of TableNode

3) Programmatically its not problem

4) But when user is drawing TableNode I need to find right place where TableNode is created!

Since ItemAdded event is not fired when node is drawn by user its not possible to handle this situation.

Instead of that I handle NodeCreated event. There is my object created, original node is removed from diagram and my new object is added to diagram.

Private Sub fcDiagram_NodeCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MindFusion.Diagramming.NodeEventArgs) Handles fcDiagram.NodeCreated


  Select Case e.Node.GetType().ToString


Case "MindFusion.Diagramming.TableNode"


    Dim LoMMTableNode As ClsMMTableNode = New ClsMMTableNode(e.Node)


    Me.fcDiagram.Nodes.Remove(e.Node)


    Me.fcDiagram.Nodes.Add(LoMMTableNode)

  End Select
    End Sub
 

Why ItemAdded event is not fired when node is drawn by user?

Where is the right place for handling "new node creation" situation? Before creating of node or after adding node to diagram?

Or is there any sophisticated way how to work with my own object in diagram?

Thx.

Hi.

After checking situtuation on new project I found out that ItemAdded event is not raised when

DiagramView.Behavior = MindFusion.Diagramming.Behavior.DrawShapes

or DrawTables or DrawContainers or Draw...

Theres a problem Thats why Im handling NodeCreated event.

I sent you a simple project on support@mindfusion.eu.

Any help?

ItemAdded is raised only if you add items programmatically, e.g.:

Diagram1.Items.Add(New LoMMTableNode)

The documentation is incorrectly stating that it's raised for interactively added ones.

Anyway, you can let the user draw items from your type like this:

Me.DiagramView1.CustomNodeType = gettype (LoMMTableNode)
Me.DiagramView1.Behavior = Behavior.Custom

instead of replacing TableNodes with your custom nodes in the Created event handler.

Hi again.

When I can use CustomLinkType property?

How to combine CustomLinkType, CustomNodeType and Behavior if I want to draw my own shapes and my own links?

Hi!

My current situation is also final, but two troubles are still there.

I have my own BehaviorBase class.

1) How can I set InteractionState to "nothing"? All I want to do is set a behavior when user can drag selection rectangle. It looks very simply but what should be assigned to InteractionState object in StartDraw sub to do this?

2) I want to move with controlpoint of link. How can I get to links controlpoint which is actually clicked? Im using this code to recognize item under cursor

Dim LoItem As DiagramItem = Diagram.GetItemAt(IoPointF, False)

What I have to do to make controlpoints moving real? How to recognize , what to assign to InteractionState object?

Thx.
