Hi,

Can you please provide an "exploded" version of the ContainerNode.Margin property, similar to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.margin.aspx?

As an example, I need to preserve extra space at the right (inside the ContainerNode) for the ContainerNode's local-self-links, so that these don't cross any other elements.

Thanks in advance,
-Mihai

Hi Mihai,

We have added a SetBounds(rect, updateGroup, updateLinks) method to CotnainerNode that lets you set the container's Bounds without affecting the position of its children or connected links. It is available in this build:

https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/fcnet532.zip

You can use it like this:

ContainerNode c = diagram.ActiveItem as ContainerNode;
if (c != null)
{
	RectangleF r = c.Bounds;
	r.X -= 1;
	r.Y -= 2;
	r.Width += 4;
	r.Height += 5;
	c.SetBounds(r, false, true);
}
 

and do something similar in response to ContainerChildAdded / Removed events.

Changing Margins from a float to a struct will require us updating the file format in several flowcharting components, so it won't make it for this release.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
