Exception when set UseGlidingConnector = false

[Alexander]

Hello,

when you try to reset the UseGlidingConnector property with a connection attached, an exception is thrown.
How can I (programmatically) find the corresponding connection, detach it from the gliding connector and attach it to a normal connector?
And for Undo-Functionality: how can I re-attach it to the gliding connector when performing an undo?

Hi,

You can use the OutgoungLinks and the IncomingLinks collections of the RadDiagramShape control to traverse all the connections going in out and in of a shape. In order to reset the UseGlidingConnector property you will first need to detach all connections, force the shape to use default connectors (RadDiagramShape.UseDefaultConnectors = true) and reattach the connections.

As for the undo action, it is not supported out of the box. This means that you will need to manually implement the command that will be executed on undo. In order to do so, you can take advantage of the UndoableDelegateCommand. You can use the following snippet to understand how you can use it.

UndoableDelegateCommand myCommand = new UndoableDelegateCommand("Name Of My UndoRedo Command",
                                    c =>
                                    {
                                        //Do Actions
                                    },
                                    c =>
                                    {
                                        //Undo Actions
                                    });
this.diagram.UndoRedoService.AddCommand(myCommand);

I hope that this will be helpful.

Thanks for your answer. It was not as simple as expected as I also wanted to remove the default connectors. In this case, you have to perform all actions in a certain ordering, which cannot simply be reversed on undo...
But finally, I can now toggle UseDefaultConnectors and undo it.
