Hi.

How to reach ability of changing shape's bounds via its handles in this ituation:
- my own shape class derived from Shape (Actor shape)
- object of shape class has set HandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.EasyMove
- my own behaviour class ClsCustomBehavior derived from WinForms.Behaviors.BehaviorBase
- Me.fcDiagramView.CustomBehavior = New ClsCustomBehavior(Me.fcDiagramView)

Problem is, that there are no handles so Im checking cursor position in my ClsCustomBehavior class. But it is possible only when cursor is in shape area (thats logical). So cursor reacts only on the edge and inside of the shape. Thats why its impossible to change size of this actor shape horizontally. Check this pictuere:




At the first picture is my current situation, second one is what I want. You can also see special triangle for place where link is created from. All this I control in my own behaviour class.

How to keep my own behaviour class and to resize shape via rectangle handles? Do I need to override any function in shape class, bahaviour class?

Thx.

Hi,

Thx for your reply.


Im using GetItemAt method, coz I want to check also links.

So, how to use GetNodeAt method with treshold for actor shape and without treshold for other shapes? Coz I have some rectangle shapes, so theres no problem with this bahaviour - coz its rectangle.

Here is first part of my own behaviour class:

Ok, I did it. Thx, but how it can help me? I need to resize that actor shape via rectangle handles.

Any help with this?

Hi.

I reframe my issue...

Now I want to have HatchHandles handlesstyle AND I want to be able to create links from that triangle in upper right corner. Is it possible to do that with my own Behaviour class? I dont need it if there is another way... With this class theres problem with detection of non shape areas (as I wrote).

Any other solution?
Thx.

It could be ok, but Im using my own class of links.

It seems this does what you described:

diagram.ShapeHandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.EasyMove;
diagramView.CustomBehavior = new MyBehavior(diagramView);
diagramView.ModificationStart = ModificationStart.AutoHandles;

public class MyBehavior : DrawLinksBehavior
{
	public MyBehavior(DiagramView view) : base(view)
	{
	}

	protected override DiagramLink CreateLink()
	{
		return new MyLink(Diagram);
	}
} 

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

It's MustInherit only in the BehaviorBase class, which doesn't have any original behavior you can reuse anyway. Choose one of the specific behavior classes that's closest to what you need and derive from it, e.g. DrawLinksBehavior or LinkShapesBehavior.
