Custom Shape Gallery

[Terrell]

What is the best way to display a sidebar gallery of my custom shapes for the diagram and allow the user to drag the items over to a diagram? There is not alot of documentation available for .Net Core.

Hi Terrell,

Indeed, we do expose an example in which you could drag and drop items from a sidebar to the diagram. Please take a look at the following sample:

https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/html5-diagram-sample-app

It is targeting the jQuery implementation of the widgets and you could examine the exact code snippets by right-clicking on the page and selecting the "View page source" option.

Since the logic is in JavaScript, you would be able to apply the same in an ASP.NET Core environment. Please let me know if additional help is needed with the implementation in ASP.NET Core. I will be happy to assist you further. 

 

Best regards,

I have reviewed this example but I have an issue trying to fire the Create function. It appears that adding shapes through the javascript api does not track the shape or am I missing something?

Hi, Terrell, the demo application features a diagram with a local data source. However, in order to enable editing, you should setup the diagram similarly to the following live demo:

Note that all of the CRUD options should be either functions or URL paths.
