Change shape and connection text dynamically after added

[Jong]

Hello,

How can I change shapes and connections text after adding them to the diagram?

For example, when a user creates a connection, an add event is called which contain a newly created connection object.

And I assigned text to the newly created connection object like this.

e.connection.options.content.text = "True"

 

 

 

But this text change did not apply.

Is there a way to redraw the options? after changing it? or is there any ways to change text dynamically?

Thank you!

I found a solution.
I used redraw() function to change the styles.

 

connection.redraw({
    content: { text: 'True' }
});

Thank you!

Hi Jong,

Thank you for the provided solution. You are totally correct, this is the recommended approach to achieve the desired behavior.

I recently added a knowledge base article for this approach:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/knowledge-base/diagram-style-color-and-width-of-every-stroke

I am now closing this thread. It could be reopened if needed. 

If further assistance is needed, do not hesitate to contact me and the team.

Kind Regards,
