Turning off selection rectangle

[Johnathan Tunnicliffe]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to turn off the selection rectangle (the rectangle that is drawn from the mouse as you drag on the canvas). See the image attached for what i mean.

Obviously when using the pan tool etc the rectangle isn't drawn when you drag on the canvas. Is there anyway to replicate this?

Thanks,
John

To answer my own question it looks like I can override SelectTool and override the Draw method and set that as my active tool on the controller of my diagram.

Hi Johnathan,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion products.

We suggest you to Set the SelectTool.TrackingStyle’s ‘LineColor’ property to ‘Transparent’ to hide the selection rectangle while dragging through the mouse. Please refer the below code snippet to achieve your requirement.

Here is the code snippet:
[C#]
void diagram1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (diagram1.Controller.ActiveTool.Name == "SelectTool")
{
((SelectTool)diagram1.Controller.ActiveTool).TrackingStyle.LineColor = Color.Transparent;
}
}

Here is the sample:
