Hello,

When selecting a node or a link, I am expecting that this item would become the "activeItem" in the diagram properties and retrievable using the getActiveItem() method. However, if I attach an event handler to the "LinkSelectedScript" of the diagram view, and examine the diagram's activeItem property, it is always null. Same thing for a selected node. The Selection array is also empty. If the link selected script or node selected script event handler is firing, clearly the item has been selected, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

Also, if I examine the properties of the link or the node in the deleting or deleted event handler, the "selected" property is false. This also makes no sense. To delete the item from the map, clearly the map has to keep track of the selected item somehow.

This has become an issue when deleting a node, because any attached links are also deleted and the link deleted event handler fires before the node deleted event handler. If I can't delete the node for some reason (determined by business logic), I need to prevent the deletion of any attached links.

How can I get the selected item? (I did try setting the activeItem specifically in the link selected handler, but it was again null in the "deleting" event handler. )

Thanks.

Hello,

So the "selected" methods, such as onNodeSelected or onLinkSelected, do work and I can get the diagram's active item. These are not the issue.

I am having trouble with the "delete" and "deleting" methods, such as onLinkDeleting or onLinkDeleted. In these event handlers, the active item is null and the Selection array is empty.

Am I understanding you correctly that this is expected behavior?

Thanks.
