 Syntax

C#

public bool AttachProportional (
    DiagramNode node,
    float left,

Public Function AttachProportional( _
    node As DiagramNode, _
    left As Single, _
    top As Single, _
    right As Single, _
    bottom As Single _
) As Boolean

 Parameters

node

The DiagramNode to be attached.

left

The left side of the node's bounding rectangle, expressed as percent of the main node width.

top

The top side of the node's bounding rectangle, expressed as percent of the main node height.

right

The right side of the node's bounding rectangle, expressed as percent of the main node width.

bottom

The bottom side of the node's bounding rectangle, expressed as percent of the main node height.

false if the node could not be attached; otherwise, true.

 Remarks

You can use this method when the main item of the group is a node. Use the left, top, right and bottom arguments to specify the position and size of the attached node relative to that of the main item. When moving or resizing the main node, the specified ratio between it and the attached node is preserved.
