Hi there!

I want to customize the edit control of a node in a diagram. I have implemented the createeditcontrol event and set the edit control on the event args to the control made by me. I have set the bounds to some values related to the node. In the enter inplace edit mode event handler the bounds of the edit control in the event args if modified, not the one I have entered.
The code in the create edit control:
CodeMaskTextBox control = new CodeMaskTextBox();
           control.Text = e.Item.GetTextToEdit();
           control.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(control_KeyPress);
           control.LostFocus += new EventHandler(control_LostFocus);


           int height = (int)(e.Node.Font.SizeInPoints * 3);

           PointF mousePosition = diagramView.ClientToDoc(Control.MousePosition);
         diagramView.DocToClient(e.Node.Bounds);


           rectangle.Height = height;

           control.Bounds = rectangle;

               e.EditControl = control;

after this code the bounds of the node is {X = 268.0 Y = 456.0 Width = 60.0 Height = 45.0} and the bounds of the edit control is {X = 357 Y = 607 Width = 80 Height = 21}

at the beging of the method private void diagramView_EnterInplaceEditMode(object sender, InPlaceEditEventArgs e) the node bounds is {X = 268.0 Y = 456.0 Width = 60.0 Height = 45.0} (the same) and the bounds of the edit control is {X = 357 Y = 560 Width = 80 Height = 19} ( the height and the Y position is modified).

please help

Hi!

sorry about that. the code there is like this:

int height = (int)(e.Node.Font.SizeInPoints * 3);
Rectangle rectangle =diagramView.DocToClient(e.Node.Bounds);
rectangle.Height = height;
control.Bounds = rectangle;

it was a mistake in my writing.

Hi,

Yes the CodeMaskTextBox is a user control of mine.
If i use the Listbox the placement is ok. Do you have any idea?

???

no, i don't have any implementation done for the bounds setter. if you want I can send you the control to test it better?
about the other possibility, I do not know what to say. it is plausible but  ??? ?

Regards

I have send you the control! The mail subject is "Inplace edit control forum thread. For support to Stoyo". I hope it helps!

Hi Stoyan!

I have send you back an application with an example of what I have. In the application there are 2 table nodes (but the same happens if there are shape nodes). The one at the top of the diagram, the position is lets say ok, but at the one at the bottom is not ok! Take a look!

Regards

Hi Stoyo!

I have some links in my application where the in place edit is not important, so I do not need the edit control. Can I cancel the in place edit sequence for some of the diagram items?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Stoyo!

I see now that is a node is inplace edited and the zoom factor changes the edit control of the inplace edit is position strange. It is a bug or I am missing something. You can test it on the DEMO application.

Best regards,
Dexter
