Disable the nodes in a Layer.

[John Previn Kumar]

I want add rectangles in a layer and circles in a different layer. If I call Layer.Visible = false, all the nodes added to the corresponding layer is hidden. But when I call Layer.Enabled = False I could still work on nodes on that layer? How do I make all nodes in a layer "Read Only"? I should also be able to go to a mode in which I can do modifications.

Should I loop thru all nodes in the layer and make Enabled as false? or is there a way to make entire Layer disabled?

Hi JVM,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

The Layer.Enabled property is used to indicate whether the layer should be active or not, where by default it is set to ‘False’. We suggest you to loop through all nodes in a layer and use the Node’s ‘Editstyle's’ properties to make nodes in a layer as ‘Readonly’. Please refer the below code snippet to achieve your requirement.
[C#]
foreach (Node node in layer.Nodes)
{
node.EditStyle.AllowChangeHeight = false;
node.EditStyle.AllowChangeWidth = false;
node.EditStyle.AllowRotate = false;
node.EditStyle.AllowMoveX = false;
node.EditStyle.AllowMoveY = false;
}
