Hi,

ShadowEffect applies to the whole visual element, so you will have to use two elements one way or another. E.g. display the text inside an attached node and assign the effect only to the main node. Or you could define a node template (with v2.4 ) where only the graphic element in the template shows a shadow effect, and the TextBlock does not.

I hope that helps,

Hi Stoyo,

Thanks for the reply.

I am not able to figure out Tutorial 3 containing any of  the templeting on the node.

Also I am assigning a custom shape to the ShapeNodes defined like:

textOnTheRight = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Wpf.Shape(
               Shapes.Rectangle.Outline,// reuse the rectangular shape
               null,// no decorations
               new ElementTemplate[]// define text region
                  {
                      new LineTemplate(32, 19, 90, 19),
                      new LineTemplate(90, 19, 90, 79),
                      new LineTemplate(90, 79, 32, 79),
                      new LineTemplate(32, 79, 32, 19)
                  },
                   FillRule.EvenOdd,// doesn't matter here
                   "TextOnTheRight"// to access the shape later using Shape.FromId
               );


Please let know using the same shape how could I apply the template to the node.
