how to redraw Expandbutton on existing nodes

After loading a diagram form string, i use the code below to reposition the expandbutton. (using 1.5 beta)
But the new position of the existing nodes is only visible after moving the node.
How can I update the new position?
i.e. node.invalidate() or diagram1.invalidate() doesn't help.


var ExpandButton = MindFusion.Diagramming.ExpandButton;
var oldGetRect = ExpandButton.prototype.getRect;
ExpandButton.prototype.getRect = function ()
{
     var rect = oldGetRect.apply(this);
     rect.y = this.node.bounds.y;
     return rect;
};

Replace ExpandButton.getRect before loading the diagram and the icons should appear as expected. Or otherwise call node.expandButton.updateContent() before calling invalidate() on the node or diagram.

I hope that helps,

As I load the diagram from code-behind, i can't find a way to Replace ExpandButton.getRect before loading the diagram.
Then after loading the diagram node.expandButton.updateContent() doesn't seem to have any effect.
This does work: 
node.setExpandable(false); node.setExpandable(true);

You can replace the function from a page load event handler attached before the diagram's own load scripts are attached. That should ensure your handler runs before the diagram's one, which loads data from the server and draw the nodes and their +/- icons:

Code
Select All
<body onload="onLoad()">
...
<ndiag:DiagramView ClientSideMode="Canvas" ... />
...
function onLoad()
{
	var ExpandButton = MindFusion.Diagramming.ExpandButton;
	var oldGetRect = ExpandButton.prototype.getRect;
	ExpandButton.prototype.getRect = function ()
	{
		  var rect = oldGetRect.apply(this);
		  rect.y = this.node.bounds.y;
		  return rect;
	};
}


Instead of setting <body onload>, you could attach the handlers dynamically (in unobtrusive javascript manner) from a <script> tag appearing before the <DiagramView>.

You can update the location for an individual node using the updateLocation method actually, not updateContent:

Code
Select All
function onNodeClicked(sender, args)
{
	var ExpandButton = MindFusion.Diagramming.ExpandButton;
	var oldGetRect = ExpandButton.prototype.getRect;
	ExpandButton.prototype.getRect = function ()
	{
		var rect = oldGetRect.apply(this);
		rect.y = this.node.bounds.y;
		return rect;
	};

	var node = args.getNode();
	node.expandButton.updateLocation();
	node.invalidate();
}


I hope that helps,
Stoyan
