Prevent auto arrange of container child nodes (Read 4040 times)

	Hello, I created a container node (foldable) with tree child shape nodes (on different positions) inside. When I fold the container node and move this object to a new position and unfold the container, the child shape nodes were rearranged and have new positions inside the container node. I have a simple question: How can I prevent the auto rearrange of container child nodes after moving the folded container node on a diagram? I'm using FlowChart.NET 5.0.3 and VisualStudio 2005 (VB).

	Hi, Perhaps you have some event handler that re-arranges the nodes? Stoyan

	I could create a rearrange function after moving a folded node, but is there no way in FlowChart.NET to prevent this auto rearrange from the child nodes of a container object?

	What I meant is that Flowchart.NET should not move the contained nodes on its own whim; could you check if by chance some event handler of yours does that?

	I haven't some event handlers active which rearrange this nodes! The container node automatically rearrange the shape nodes inside after the folded container were moved over the diagram.

	Could you call SaveToXml and email the file to support@mindfusion.eu?

	Yes, I have sent you an email with attached xml export of my diagram. Thank you for your support.

	This happens because of the KeepInsideParent constraint. Apparently the control applies it too strictly - even when a container is folded, so the child nodes are moved to fit the smaller container size. Until our developers fix that, turn the constraint off when a container is folded and enable it again when a container is unfolded. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	I tried this workaround in my solution and now the positions of the child nodes are correct. Thank you for your support.
