Hi,

I am currently working on a sample , where a user can drag and drop shapes from a panel to diagram.I can find a shape using bounds() , when user drops on it.

But i couldn't do the same for a connection.

My intention is just to find a connection from diagram and modify it..(When user drag and drop a new shape on a particular connection)

Find the sample which i am working on now

http://dojo.telerik.com/IHuzA/7

Please update how to find a connection, when user drops a shape on it ?

Hi Rajeev,

Since the connection will have width 0 (if its vertical), you could manually check the position of the connection and the drop event position with some offset in regards of the width (5 or 10 pixels for example). You should take into account that depending on the orientation of the connection the condition for the offset will differ. 

Another approach that you could try is to handle the mouseEnter and mouseLeave event of the Diagram to store the current connection/shape in a global variable and use it within the drop event. Note that it might be necessary to wrap the logic within the drop event in a setTimeout function in order to allow the mouseEnter event to fire.

Hope this helps.
