Hi,

If you need to start editing the node's text upon right-click, handle the BoxClicked event and call the Box.BeginInplaceEdit method when e.Button == MouseButtons.Right.

Hi,

Ok, create a box, attach it to the node, and optionally let users edit it inline:

Box commentBox = fc.CreateBox(...);
commentBox.AttachTo(classBox, AttachToNode...);
commentBox.BeginInplaceEdit();

Now the comment box will follow the class when the latter is moved around. If you have a class box reference, you will be able to access its comment boxes through the classBox.SubordinateGroup.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi Stoyo,

Need to ask one more question. Once I right click and add the comment box, is it possible to attach it(without any arrows) to the selected node by using +/- button, so from that i can expand and collapse the comment box?


here with i'm sending the code, pls help me with it :(

private void addCommentToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Box commentBox = loader.Chart.CreateBox(SelectedNode.BoundingRect.Right, SelectedNode.BoundingRect.Top - 10, 20, 20);
commentBox.Style = BoxStyle.Rectangle;
commentBox.FillColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow;
commentBox.AttachTo(SelectedNode, AttachToNode.BottomRight);
SelectedNode.SubordinateGroup.AttachToCorner(commentBox, 0);
SelectedNode.Expandable = true;
commentBox.BeginInplaceEdit();

}

Thanks in Advance!

Thanks Stoyo! It works fine.

cheers!

Hi Stoyo,

Now i need to add a comment box, where ever i right clicked in the FlowChart. For this i have used the context menu event handler. But i need to get the current position (Point) of the location. Since we are not under a MouseEventArgs, i wont be able to get the mouse position. I have tried the following coding but it creates the box in a differnt place. Need ur help ASAP. Thanks !

private void addCommentToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PointF ptf = Chart.ClientToDoc(new Point(MousePosition.X,MousePosition.Y));
commentBox = loader.Chart.CreateBox(ptf.X, ptf.Y, 20, 20);

commentBox.BeginInplaceEdit();
}

Thanks Stoyan!

It works fine.

cheers!
