Overlapping link arrowhead with connected shape (Read 2055 times)

	Hello, I am trying to create a link whose end arrow head will overlap the border of the shape to which it connects. This is a screenshot of what I would like to achieve. It looks like the normal behavior is that the link arrow head never goes beyond the intersection/anchor point. Does anybody know a way I could achieve that? Thanks in advance, Robert

	Hi, At this time you can't change the position of the arrowhead shapes. You could set HeadShape = None, CustomDraw = Additional, and handle the DrawLink event to draw a shape at the position of the last point in e.Link.ControlPoints. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi, Thanks for your solution. That works really ok. If I would like to have that arrowending appear also while user is drawing the link I think I need to create a custom link inherited from DiagramLink and override the Draw method. Am I right? I got this idea from the Fishbone sample. Or is it also another solution? Thanks a lot, Robert

	Hi, Custom drawing should work also while creating new links. You could handle the InitializeLink event to initialize the properties of a new link when the use starts drawing it. I hope that helps, Stoyan
