Container node caption not being set

Hi, I am creating a container like this:

Code (Javascript)
Select All
            var containerNode = diagram.getFactory().createContainerNode(bounds);
            containerNode.Caption = 'abc';


but the caption does not get set (btw the 'Caption' property is not documented, I found this in one of your online files)

Hi,

That looks like .NET code. In JavaScript version call the setText() method:

Code
Select All
containerNode.setText('abc');


Check the http://mindfusion.eu/demos/jsdiagram/Containers.html example for more sample code for setting up containers.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

That works, thank you. I am struggling a bit to find these methods because for eg. 'setText' doesn't appear for the 'ContainerNode' object in the help file.

One more thing - is it possible to centre the container caption?

Right, our help generation system does not understand JavaScript inheritance at this time and won't show inherited methods. You could look for base DiagramNode and DiagramItem methods here:

http://www.mindfusion.eu/onlinehelp/jsdiagram/index.htm?CC_T_MindFusion_Diagramm...

There's no official public method to specify alignment, buy you could set it through the Text object used to render the caption:

Code
Select All
var cn = diagram.getFactory().createContainerNode(50, 50, 50, 50);
cn.setText("caption");
cn.text.textAlignment = Alignment.Center;


I hope that helps,
Stoyan
