Gets or sets a value indicating how the control responds to user actions.

Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming
File: DiagramView.js

 Syntax

JavaScript

get behavior() {}
set behavior(value) {}

 Property Value

Behavior

A member of the Behavior enumeration. The default value is LinkShapes.

 Remarks

The property specifies how the control responds to user actions with the mouse. The default value, LinkShapes, facilitates drawing of flowchart diagrams. LinkTables makes JsDiagram create table nodes and links while the user draws with the mouse, allowing creation of entity-relationship or class-hierarchy diagrams.

Modes such as Modify, PanAndModify, MoveNodes, SelectOnly allow users to interact with existing items, but not draw new ones on the canvas. Note that NodeListView can be used to create new nodes regardless of DiagramView's current behavior mode.

There are several more values that can be assigned to the property, that make the control draw specific types of items, for example only shape nodes, only free-form nodes, only links, and so on. These are useful when implementing the ability to select specific drawing tools in applications.
