Sorry if this is an old question, but I dont know how to search old articles on this forum,

anyway, are there any examples on how to modify the textArea property so I can draw the text outside a shape?

Well, I can draw text outside the shape now
by doing something like this,



Shape shp = Shapes.Sort;


RoundRectangleTemplate template=new RoundRectangleTemplate(-500.0f,-100.0f,1100.0f,0.0f, 1.0f);



ElementTemplate[] templates = new ElementTemplate[1];


templates[0] = (ElementTemplate)template;


shp.TextArea = templates;


However, it seems the diagram does not refresh some of the text that are outside the nodes' bounding rectangle when you drag and move.

right now I have to call DiagramView.Refresh manually but I wonder if there is a better approach.

The Shape constructor does set a 'textOutside' flag when it detects that the text region does not fit within the shape outline, while the Shape.TextArea setter fails to do that. So, you could create a new shape, based on Sort, like this:

Code
Select All
new Shape(
	Shapes.Sort.Outline,
	Shapes.Sort.Decorations,
	templates,
	Shapes.Sort.FillMode,
	"mySort");


I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Yes, that worked perfectly so I dont have to manually refresh the screen any more.

Thanks! Smiley
