	Hi, I have a node where the following properties are set; Code this.EnabledHandles = AdjustmentHandles.Move; this.HandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.Invisible; this.AnchorPattern = AnchorPattern.TopInBottomOut; This gives me the behaviour that I want in that I can; 1) Move the node around, but cannot resize it 2) Draw links using the little circle at the bottom of the node However, when I select the node on the diagram there is nothing to indicate visually that it is selected. If I change the properties to; Code this.EnabledHandles = AdjustmentHandles.Move; this.HandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.MoveOnly; this.AnchorPattern = AnchorPattern.TopInBottomOut; This gives me a shaded border when the node is selected which is great, but unfortunately I can no longer draw links from the node. Is there anyway to get the effect I am after? Matt

	You could set the following and will be able to draw links from MoveOnly nodes that are not selected: diagram.ModificationStart = ModificationStart.SelectedOnly; The HatchHandles3 style displays a shade similar to the MoveOnly style + adjustment handles, but will also let you draw links from a selected node. So you could keep the auto-handles modification, hide the disabled resize handles to get the MoveOnly appearance, and still be able to draw links: diagram.ShowDisabledHandles = false; e.Node.EnabledHandles = AdjustmentHandles.Move; e.Node.HandlesStyle = HandlesStyle.HatchHandles3; e.Node.AnchorPattern = AnchorPattern.TopInBottomOut; I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried that and it is closer to what I want. 1) Can you tell me how to hide the disabled resize handles? 2) To move a node, I have to first select it and then drag - is there any way I can get it to select and drag in one motion like before? Thanks Matt

	Hi Matt, 1) Set diagram.ShowDisabledHandles = false; 2) Set diagram.ModificationStart = ModificationStart.AutoHandles; and use the second code block (you can choose only one of the options shown above, so use the one with HatchHandles3). I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, Yes that has done the trick. Thanks again! Matt
