Hi, I am currently working on a project where I have DiagramLinks that users can create. These links are working fine for the most part. However, I am trying to figure out if it is possible to disable the snapping of DiagramLinks to nodes?

Is it possible to draw freeform lines with DiagramLinks which do not snap to anything?

Initially I thought that the Diagram would have a property somewhere that I could disable, but I have not found one which gives me the desired behavior.

I am using MindFusion Diagramming WPF version 2.5.

Thanks

Hi,

There is no property for disabling that. You could implement it with some event handling instead -

Point unalignedStart;
Point unalignedEnd;

void OnLinkCreating(object sender, LinkValidationEventArgs e)
{
	unalignedStart = e.Link.StartPoint;
	unalignedEnd = e.Link.EndPoint;
}

void OnLinkCreated(object sender, LinkEventArgs e)
{
	e.Link.StartPoint = unalignedStart;
	e.Link.EndPoint = unalignedEnd;
	e.Link.UpdateFromPoints();
}

Hi,

Apparently StartPoint and EndPoint are available since v2.8.
