Connecting shapes to connectors

[Application]

Is there a way to connect shapes to connectors, rather than simply shapes to shapes? I have a requirement that needs a shape to connect to the mid-point of a connector between two shapes. I've tried a work around having 2 connectors from the same point on one shape without any success.

Attached is a rough idea of what I want to do, so want to connect the vertical line from the horizontal connector to the bottom shape.

Any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks.

Hi,

Yes. it is possible. In order to do so, you simply ned to specify the from and to connectors for the connection in a similar way:

<telerik:RadDiagram ID="ModelReport" runat="server">
    <LayoutSettings Enabled="true" Type="Tree" Subtype="Up">
    </LayoutSettings>
    <ShapesCollection>
        <telerik:DiagramShape Id="s1"></telerik:DiagramShape>
        <telerik:DiagramShape Id="s2"></telerik:DiagramShape>
        <telerik:DiagramShape Id="s3"></telerik:DiagramShape>
    </ShapesCollection>
    <ConnectionsCollection>
        <telerik:DiagramConnection>
            <FromSettings ShapeId="s1" Connector="top" />
            <ToSettings ShapeId="s2" Connector="right" />
        </telerik:DiagramConnection>
        <telerik:DiagramConnection>
            <FromSettings ShapeId="s1" Connector="top" />
            <ToSettings ShapeId="s3" Connector="left" />
        </telerik:DiagramConnection>
    </ConnectionsCollection>
</telerik:RadDiagram>
