Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming
Assembly: MindFusion.Diagramming

 Syntax

C#  Copy Code

public bool SortGroupsByZ { get; set; }

Visual Basic  Copy Code

Public Property SortGroupsByZ As Boolean

 Property Value

true if grouped items should be painted according to their z-order; otherwise, false. The default is false.

 Remarks

By default, while a group of nodes is being modified with the mouse, the grouped items are drawn in the order defined by the group hierarchy. For example, the group MainItem is drawn bellow all attached items, and if an attached item is the main item in another group, it is drawn below the next groups in the hierarchy. During this process, the ZIndex of items is ignored and the group appearance while it is being modified might differ from how it looks usually. The SortGroupsByZ property lets you override the default behavior and display items sorted by their z-order. Take heed if your application creates large hierarchies of groups - enabling that property might slow down the modification process.
