ControlMouseAction vs ModificationStart problem (Read 3824 times)

	I need AutoHandles behavior - the possibility to move nodes on a first click- click+move does select and instant moving, but if I want to modify some link, that is over a node header or over any other link, focus is switched to underlying control and that something I don't want. How to do that - instant click+move and not automatic selection of underlying nodes? thanks Basically I need onmousedown to cause selection, not mouseover event. Also if any other item is selected and I am clicking on it, no other underlying item should be selected in this case - simple. Also, is there a method in DiagramView for hittesting if some nodes/links are under current mouse cursor? Any help will be appretiated.

	What happens if you also set HitTestPriority = ZOrder?

	Well, that solved half of my problem, thanks. The other problem is quite complicated to explain: Let's have parent node and two child nodes, also two links from parent to child. Both links starts at the same point in parent node. If I select the bottom link an I want to change it's parent location, I cant. Even with ZOrder priority the topmost link is selected? The ideal priority in my opinion should be selected objects > objects in z order > bottom Also SelectionOnTop property is ignored, when I set it to true, strange.

	We'll change the priority for the next release. Now you might try one of the following: * handle MouseMove and set ModificationStart = SelectedOnly if diagram.ActiveItem.HitTestHandle() returns some handle index at the current mouse position. or * set DiagramLink.HandlesStyle = Custom, handle the HitTestHandles event and return -1 if e.Link is not selected but diagram.ActiveItem is under the mouse pointer.

	I've tried these methods, but non of them worked. It looks like the other link is pre-selected(diagram.ActiveItem is changed) when mouse cursor reaches some near distance to it, before I even reach the link node. I guess the right approach is to keep original link selected, when cursor is near, or when calculating proximity to nearest object keep the selected one on the first position.

	This worked for me: Code private void diagramView_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { PointF mousePos = diagramView.ClientToDoc(e.Location); int activeItemHandle = -1; if (diagram.ActiveItem != null) diagram.ActiveItem.HitTestHandle(mousePos, ref activeItemHandle); diagramView.ModificationStart = activeItemHandle == -1 ? ModificationStart.AutoHandles : ModificationStart.SelectedOnly; } Stoyan

	Well, that helped, thanks I didn't used the ClientToDoc transformation before...
