Hi,

For my task I need to create parent ContainerNode and put inside two (N in general) child ContainerNodes and layout child containers inside parent container.

But before closed/open container action main group looks weird: first child is inside of parent, second child attached outside.

Please, see my code below. Thanks in advance.


ContainerNode mainContainer = new ContainerNode();
ContainerNode childContainer1 = new ContainerNode();
ContainerNode childContainer2 = new ContainerNode();
diagram1.Nodes.Add( mainContainer );
diagram1.Nodes.Add( childContainer1 );
diagram1.Nodes.Add( childContainer2 );

mainContainer.Add( childContainer1 );
mainContainer.Add( childContainer2 );

DiagramItemCollection arranger = new DiagramItemCollection
{
childContainer1, childContainer2
};

GridLayout fl1 = new GridLayout();
fl1.Arrange( diagram1, arranger );

Thank you, it works.

But I have another question. I have arranged tree of shapenodes and need to put this tree inside the container and keep their layout. I've tried several ways and cant succeed: nodes just overlapped with each other. What am I doing wrong?

I do exactly like you said, but the result is not one that I expect. That's my code:

ContainerNode container = new ContainerNode( diagram1 );
ShapeNode s1 = new ShapeNode( diagram1 );
ShapeNode s2 = new ShapeNode( diagram1 );
DiagramLink link = new DiagramLink( diagram1, s1, s2 );

diagram1.Nodes.Add( s1 );
diagram1.Nodes.Add( s2 );
diagram1.Links.Add( link );
diagram1.Nodes.Add( container );

DiagramItemCollection arrange = new DiagramItemCollection { s1, s2 };
TreeLayout treeLayout = new TreeLayout( s1, TreeLayoutType.Centered );
treeLayout.Arrange( diagram1, arrange );

container.Add( s1 );
container.Add( s2 );
container.UpdateBounds( true );

GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout();
gridLayout.Arrange( diagram1 );
