Host control inside a node

Hi,

Is it possible to host a control inside a _specific_ area of a node.

What I want to do is to have a standard FC node with a few textboxes and comboboxes inside. Something like TableNode but with more freedom of controls locating degree.

It is possible with FlowChart? Perhaps I've underestimated abilities of TableNode or ControlHost?

Thanks and best regards.

Hi,

You could create a group of a ShapeNode and few ControlNodes, e.g.

Code
Select All
ShapeNode container = diagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(
	20, 20, 50, 55, Shapes.Rectangle);
container.HandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.MoveOnly;

ControlNode control1 = new ControlNode(diagramView, new Button());
control1.Bounds = new RectangleF(25, 25, 40, 10);
diagram.Nodes.Add(control1);

ControlNode control2 = new ControlNode(diagramView, new RichTextBox());
control2.Bounds = new RectangleF(25, 40, 40, 30);
diagram.Nodes.Add(control2);

control1.AttachTo(container, AttachToNode.TopLeft);
control2.AttachTo(container, AttachToNode.TopLeft);


I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Okay how about this one.. Can you embed controls within the cells of a table?

This has already been requested by several of our users, and we are going to implement it in one of the 5.0.X updates. For now you might implement something similar as shown in the InteractiveTables sample project, or by inheriting from TableNode and managing a list of ControlNodes in your derived class.
