Hello,

I am experiencing a slightly unexpected behavior when working with autoroute diagram links.

I want to enable autoroute for certain types of diagram links. I want those links to be routed at all times. When such a link is created I set its AutoRoute property to true. I would expect the link to be routed when created, but it is not. The corresponding node must be moved so the autorouting kicks in.

To auto route after a link is created I also tried to call DiagramLink.Route. This method returns false, and routing isn't performed.

The following is the code used to create the autorouted links:
[code]
DiagramLink result = Diagram.Factory.CreateDiagramLink(origin, destination);
result.AllowMoveEnd = false;
result.AllowMoveStart = false;
result.Style = LinkStyle.Bezier;
result.Dynamic = true;
result.HeadShape = ArrowHead.Arrow;
result.SnapToNodeBorder = true;
result.AutoRoute = true;
[/code]

My question is, how to create a diagram link and have it autorouted?

Thanks!

BoldBrick, s.r.o.

I start with an empty diagram and 2 nodes. No obstacle node is in the background.

The links are autorouted fine when moving (dragging) their respective nodes, so I don't think the GridSize is a problem.

Hi!

I have the same problem.

My settings:

Me.Bounds = New System.Drawing.Rectangle(100, 50, 1300, 800)


'Me.Diagram.AllowUnanchoredLinks = False 'mozem pricapit links na shape bez anchorpoints

Me.Diagram.CellFrameStyle = CellFrameStyle.None

Me.Diagram.EnableStyledText = True

Me.Diagram.SnapToAnchor = SnapToAnchor.OnCreateOrModify 'akosi v nich nevidim rozdiel

'Me.Diagram.RoutingOptions.TriggerRerouting = RerouteLinks.WhileCreating

Me.Diagram.ShowAnchors = ShowAnchors.Auto


Me.DiagramView.Behavior = Behavior.DrawLinks 'Defines values that specify how the component responds to actions performed by the user

Me.DiagramView.ModificationStart = ModificationStart.AutoHandles 'Specifies how the user can start modifying an item = aby sa nemusel oznacovat shape pred jeho hybanim


Me.MoOrto.Anchoring = Anchoring.Reassign

Me.MoOrto.BaseLayout = MindFusion.Layout.BaseLayout.Custom


'Me.Diagram.TablesScrollable = True

Me.Diagram.TableBrush = New LinearGradientBrush(Color.White, Color.Green, 45)

Me.Diagram.TablePen = New Pen("0/#FF696969/0/0/0//0/0/10/")

Me.Diagram.TableCustomDraw = CustomDraw.Additional

Me.Diagram.TableStyle = TableStyle.RoundedRectangle

Me.Diagram.TableHandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.EasyMove

Me.Diagram.TableConnectionStyle = TableConnectionStyle.Table

Me.Diagram.TableRowHeight = 5.0!

Me.Diagram.TableColumnWidth = 4.0!


Me.Diagram.LinkBrush = New SolidBrush("#FFFFFFFF")

Me.Diagram.LinkPen = New Pen("0/#FF696969/0/0/0//0/0/10/")

Me.Diagram.LinkCustomDraw = CustomDraw.Additional 'Gets or sets the type of custom drawing performed on this link

Me.Diagram.LinkStyle = LinkStyle.Cascading

Me.Diagram.LinksSnapToBorders = True


Me.Diagram.LinkHeadShape = ArrowHead.None

Me.Diagram.LinkTextStyle = LinkTextStyle.OverLongestSegment

Autorouting is performed after moving shapes
Help?

Hi,

The Diagram.RouteLinks property from the file you emailed us is set to false. The AutoRoute property of links is initialized from it, so set it to true to enable auto-routing of new links.

I hope that helps,
