RadDiagramConnection Setting Start or End point does not redraw the connection

[Chris]

Hi,

I seem to have come across an issue with setting the StartPoint and EndPoint properties of a RadDiagramConnection.  The connection is not redrawn.  Only when I move one of the end does it redraw properly.

It only happens when a StartPoint AND EndPoint is specified (ie not attached to any other shapes via the Source and Target properties).
So I cant programmatically move the connector at the moment which is an issue.  Can you help me please?


Here's a quick sample:

XAML:

<Grid>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<telerik:RadDiagram x:Name="_diagram" Grid.Row="0">

<telerik:RadDiagramConnection x:Name="_connector"

StrokeThickness="2"

StartPoint="100,100"

EndPoint="200,200" />

</telerik:RadDiagram>

<Button x:Name="_do"

Grid.Row="1"

Content="Move" Click="_do_Click" />

</Grid>

Code behind:
 
public partial class MainWindow : Window

{

public MainWindow()

{

InitializeComponent();

 

}

private void _do_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

_connector.EndPoint = new Point(300, 300);

}

}

Hi Chris,

You are right for the behavior of the connection. In order to update the visual representation you need to invoke the Update() method of the connection after changing the EndPoint property. You can use the following snippet:

private void _do_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

_connector.EndPoint = new Point(300, 300);
_connector.Update();

}

Please give this approach a try and let us know if you need any further assistance.
