Hello Stoyan,

quick question for you.
How can I move a node (programmatically of course) without moving the container in which it is.

I use Node.SetBounds(Bounds, false, true) but it still moves the container un which the node is...

Any idea ?

Thanks
Amaury

Hello Stoyan.

No update bounds is not called unfortunatly..
I also noticed that this does not happen when I move only one node but with at least 2.

what can I try to override to see who is moving my container ?
any other idea ?

Thanks
Amaury

Hello Stoyan

Here is what I override

	  public new void UpdateBounds()
	  {
		base.UpdateBounds();
	  }

	  public new RectangleF Bounds
	  {
		get { return base.GetBounds(); }
		set
		{
		    base.Bounds = value;
		}
	  }

	  protected override void OnUpdateBounds()
	  {
		base.OnUpdateBounds();
	  }
 

None of them are called....

Hello Stoyan

Actually you are right.
When I move the node wich is into a container from the shcematic view, it moves the container.
But calling the methode Node.Move or setting the bounds of the node doesn't not move the container...

Even though when I move 2 nodes it seems that it moves the group...

How weird is that.
I am hintless on that one :S

Hello Stoyan,

Ok, so first Ill show you a bit of code to put you in context.

In my containers I overide the draw & GetBounds Fuctions.

Here is my container's GetBounds Function

public override RectangleF GetBounds()
{
RectangleF bounds = new RectangleF(
base.GetBounds().X,
base.GetBounds().Y,
Folded ? _foldedWidth : base.GetBounds().Width,
Folded ? _foldedHeight : base.GetBounds().Height);

return bounds;
}
 

I move the nodes in an undo operation. Which means the nodes are still in the container when I move them but removed right after.
I use the move function :

node.Move(location.X, location.Y);
 

I tried the setBounds(location, false, true) functions but it didn't changed anything, and the move function fix another bug I have.

So when I place just 1 node into my container and undo the operation, the node is moved back to where it was and the container does not move which is exactly what I want.
But if I put 2 nodes in the container at the same time (as a Selection), when I undo, 2 move operations are called, one on each node, at this step, the container is moved which is strange...

I put a print for the container bounds into my Container.GetBounds overriden fuction and I wrapped the move operation of the node with other print.
Here are the results

*Initial  container bounds (the 2 nodes are in the container)*
Container Bounds : X=359,4416 Y=78,63958 W=61,88333 H=58,44166
*Move back first node*
---- Move node to X=421,2499 Y=184,9916
     Initial node bounds X=369,4416 Y=95,63958
     Final node bounds X=421,2499 Y=184,9916
*Move back second node*
---- Move node to X=470,4625 Y=162,9354
     Initial node bounds X=386,325 Y=102,0812
     Final node bounds X=470,4625 Y=162,9354
*2 calls to container.GetBounds(), first is correct, second is not, who changed it ?*
Container Bounds : X=359,4416 Y=78,63958 W=61,88333 H=58,44166
Container Bounds : X=460,4625 Y=145,9354 W=50 H=52
 

I hope it is clear enough,
thanks again for the help.

Hi Stoyan.

No at all, I use my own undo/redo system. The one that I use in the rest of my application'
I do not use the mindfusion undo/redo

Hello Stoyan,

unfortunatly I cant give you any code from our project. The security departement will kill me.

I have been able to build your source code, so I guess I will just plug it in my application and debug it !

Thanks for the help.
