Hi,

I'm trying to set the property of a treelayout [color=Red]EnableAssistants[/color] from JavaScript unfortunately it generate a error. Can someone help find out the problem. Thanks

My code goes as follow

var fcApplet = <%= diagramView.AppletElement %>;
var fc = fcApplet.getDiagramView().getDiagram();
var tl = fcApplet.getScriptHelper().createTreeLayout();
[color=Red]tl.EnableAssistants = true;[/color]
tl.setNodeDistance(10);
tl.setLevelDistance(10);
tl.setLinkStyle(2);
tl.arrange(fc);
tl.ResizeToFitItems(2, false);

Hi,

This version implements support for org.chart assistant nodes in the applet:
https://mindfusion.eu/_temp/netdiag_assistants.zip

You can set the property in JavaScript like this:

var tl = applet.getScriptHelper().createTreeLayout();
tl.setEnableAssistants(true);
tl.setNodeDistance(10);
tl.setLevelDistance(10);
tl.setLinkStyle(2);
tl.arrange(diagram);

diagram.resizeToFitItems(2);
 

You must also use the updated .NET assemblies - now they implement transfer of LayoutTraits[Assistant] to the applet.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hello,

How would I get/set the Assistant status of a node in Javascript?

Thank you.

When adding shapes, I would like to set the Assistant status of the new node. Would that be possible?

    var key = sh.getConstant("com.mindfusion.diagramming.jlayout.TreeLayoutTraits", "Assistant");
    alert(key);
    var assistant = newNode.getLayoutTraits.get(key);
    alert(assistant);

The second alert gives me Null value... 

Additionaly, the expected value should not be a boolean, but a member of the AssistantType enum, so you must use the script helper method to get one of the following members, or just use the respective numeric value from 0 to 3:

public static final int None = 0;
/**
* The node is an assistant and its relative position is determined
* automatically by the layout.
*/
public static final int Normal = 1;

/**
* The node is an assistant and it is always positioned to the left
* of its parent.
*/
public static final int Left = 2;

/**
* The node is an assistant and it is always positioned to the right
* of its parent.
*/
public static final int Right = 3;
