how to add dynamically ContentTemplete to RadDiagramShape ?

[Sopan]

HI,

I want to add the RadDiagramShape dynamically to RadDiagram control but wants to change the ContentTemplete.

<telerik:RadDiagram x:Name="myDiagram">

 

 </telerik:RadDiagram

private void btnAddNewShape_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
       {
           DataTemplate templete = new DataTemplate(typeof(RadRichTextBox));

           this.myDiagram.AddShape(new RadDiagramShape() { });
       }

But the content editor not show RadRichTextBox, It show normal Content Property as String.


So How to add dynamically ContentTemplete of RadDiagramShape


Thanks

Hi Sopan,
You don't see a RadRichTextBox because you've set the DataType of your DataTemplate(DT) not its content. It's not a common practice go set DTs in code-behind but if you want to it is possible:
1) you could get a DT resource and set it.
2) you could create your own DT in code using the FrameworkElementFactory.
I've attached a sample project showing both approaches so you could decide which one is better for you.
Just one question - do you really need to set the ContentTemplatate ? Why don't you set the Content directly:

newShape.Content = new RadRichTextBox();

I hope I was able to help you and if you have more questions feel free to ask.
