Connector Content/Text overlaps connector line

[Andrew]

The documentation shows Content/Text changing the color of the connector line (greying it out)

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/media/RadDiagram_Features_Connection_UIControls.png

However in the online demos this does not occur.

Is this a special property that needs to be switched on, rather than default behavior?

Hello Andrew,
Our default connection style is not like the one showed on the picture but you can easily change this with a custom connectionTemplate:

<telerik:RadDiagram.ConnectionTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
        <Grid >
            <Border Background="White" Opacity="0.7" />
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding }" />
        </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
</telerik:RadDiagram.ConnectionTemplate>

I hope I was able to help you and if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Great, thanks. FWIW I used a slightly different style to get the same effect

<DataTemplate x:Key="contentTemplateConnection">
                <Border Background="White" Opacity="0.7" >
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Content}" FontSize="14"
                                FontWeight="Bold"
                                Foreground="Black"/>
                </Border>
            </DataTemplate>
            <Style TargetType="telerik:RadDiagramConnection" x:Key="ConnectionStyle">
                <Setter Property="TargetCapType" Value="Arrow1Filled" />
                <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="2" />
                <Setter Property="ContentTemplate" Value="{StaticResource contentTemplateConnection}"/>
                <Setter Property="EditTemplate" Value="{StaticResource editTemplate}"/>
            </Style>

Hello Andrew,
I'm glad I was able to help you. As for your code - yes this is another way to achieve the same thing and the only difference is that the ConnectionTemplate property of the RadDiagram is with higher priority than the style setter. This means that if your diagram has a ConnectionTemplate it will be applied.
If you have more questions feel free to ask.
