Can the ShapeListBox group shapes into collapsable sections?

Hi,

Just starting to play with canvas mode and using the ShapeListBox.
It would be nice to be able to group shapes by category like BPMN, Flowchart, Custom etc.  Ideally we'd like to be able to expand/collapse these groups. 

Is there a technique that you could recommend to accomplish this.

Thanks

Jim

Hi,

There is no built-in support for grouping. For this and expand / collapse, you could use any Accordion-type control to show several ShapeListBoxes, each displaying only a subset of the shapes via ShapeFilter:

Code
Select All
<ui:AccordionItem ID="AccordionItem1" runat="server" Title="BPMN shapes">
    <Template>
        <ndiag:ShapeListBox ID="ShapeListBox1" runat="server" ImageLocation="" Style="background-color: white"
            ClientSideMode="Canvas">
            <ndiag:StringItem Text="BpmnComplex" />
            <ndiag:StringItem Text="BpmnDataBasedXor" />
            <ndiag:StringItem Text="BpmnEndCancel" />
            <ndiag:StringItem Text="BpmnEndCompensation" />
            <ndiag:StringItem Text="BpmnEndError" />
            <ndiag:StringItem Text="BpmnEndLink" />
        </ndiag:ShapeListBox>
    </Template>
</ui:AccordionItem>


This example shows that using the Accordion control from our WebForms pack:

I hope that helps,

Hi Stoyan,

Great!  Just what I wanted.
I was not aware that you could have more than 1 ShapeListBox on a page.  I used an "accordion style" control that we already have in our toolkit.
