How to stop links at border of tablenode? (Read 2776 times)

	I have the links now properly connecting one table node anchor point to another's input anchor point. However the link and arrow head go into the incoming table node and I would like it to stop right at the border edge of the table now on the row? I see this in the Database Relationship Diagram example in the samples, but I do not see a particular project for this. Is there a property that describes this?

	I tried this but it's not working as far as I can tell: diagram.LinksSnapToBorders = true;

	Anchor points override the LinksSnapToBorders behavior. Setting the anchor points X coordinates to exactly 0 or 100 should place them exactly on the table borders. The input / output images shown in the demo aren't assigned to the anchor points, but to the Cell.Image, so they can be drawn inside the table, even if the anchor points are at the borders. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Oh so to have an anchor point that snaps to border but shows its image inside the cell, you have to turn off the built in image for the anchor point so its invisible, and then render the image on your own in the cell?

	I suppose you can set the point.Style to Custom and in the DrawAnchorPoint event handler draw the image slightly offset from the point. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	If I do that and rely on the Location property on the event arg, it ends up drawing the anchors way off the node itself. I don't see any correlation between the location and where it should really be.

	It is the same location where the standard anchor point would be drawn if not using custom drawing. You can see the DrawAnchorPoint event handled in the Anchors sample project. I hope that helps, Stoyan
