grouping nodes

[Gary Henson]

I can see in the Symbol Factory example how to group nodes together and then add the group to the diagram.
Is there a way to programmatically group a node to another node already in the diagram?
I cannot access the downloaded help/case info until we upgrade to 2010 Sp1 which will not happen for weeks.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

We suggest you to use the diagram’s ‘Group’ class to group the nodes programmatically. Please refer the below code snippet to achieve your requirement.

Here is the code:
[C#]
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle rect = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(100, 50, 100, 70);
rect.EnableCentralPort = false;
rect.FillStyle.Color = Color.SkyBlue;
rect.FillStyle.Type = FillStyleType.LinearGradient;


Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Ellipse ellp = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Ellipse(30, 10, 40, 40);
ellp.EnableCentralPort = false;
ellp.FillStyle.Color = Color.Lime;
ellp.FillStyle.Type = FillStyleType.LinearGradient;

//Grouping Nodes
Group grp = new Group();
grp.AppendChild(rect);
grp.AppendChild(ellp);
diagram1.Model.AppendChild(grp);
Here is the sample:
