How to exclude some shapes from layout ?

[Sungwoo]

Hi ,

 I am trying to make background using a custom shape and zoom in/out and pan with other shapes. All seems to work but when I tried to run layout, the background shape also participate in layout. Is there a way to exclude specific shape when doing layout ?

 

  TreeLayoutSettings layout = new TreeLayoutSettings() { TreeLayoutType = TreeLayoutType.TreeLeft };
  Diagram.Layout(LayoutType.Tree, layout);

 

Regards,

Sungwoo

Hello Sungwoo,

In order to exclude certain shapes from the Layout of the RadDiagram, you could use the following approach.
- set the "IgnoreInvisible" property of the TreeLayoutSettings to True
- then right before you call the Layout, set the Visibility of the shape to Collapsed.
- restore back the visibility of the shape.

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    shapeToIgnore.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
    TreeLayoutSettings layout = new TreeLayoutSettings() { TreeLayoutType = TreeLayoutType.TreeLeft, IgnoreInvisible = true };
    this.xDiagram.Layout(LayoutType.Tree, layout);
    shapeToIgnore.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
}

Please give the approach a try and let us know if it works for you.

Kind regards,
