Testing to see if a connection between two nodes exists

[Wayne Massey]

Hi,

 

I am drawing a diagram based on content from a database table. As part of the process, I create several rectangles and then link them together if they are related. In this application, It is valid for their to be multiple links between two of the same rectangles.

 

Since there is multiple links, I end up creating the same lineconnector between two rectangles multiple times. As I have a label associated with the lineconnector, the label text merges together.

 

What I would like to do is If I have a Node, test to see if there is already a connection to a second node. If so, update the existing connection. If not, create a new connection.

 

I am new here but looking through the help docs, I am not sure how to test this. Is this possible?

Hi Wayne,

 

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

 

We suggest you to use the Diagram.Model.EventSink’s ‘ConnectionChanged’ event to check whether the connections have been present the nodes or not. Please refer the below code snippet to achieve your requirement.

Here is the code:

[C#]

void EventSink_ConnectionsChanged(CollectionExEventArgs evtArgs)

        {

            if (evtArgs.ChangeType == CollectionExChangeType.Insert)

            {

                if (evtArgs.Element is EndPoint)

                {

                    ConnectorBase conn = ((EndPoint)evtArgs.Element).Container as ConnectorBase;

                    if (conn != null)

                    {

                        if (conn.FromNode != null && conn.ToNode != null)

                        {

                            Node toNode = conn.ToNode as Node;

                            foreach (ConnectorBase nodeConns in conn.ToNode.Edges)

                            {

                                if (((nodeConns.FromNode == conn.FromNode && nodeConns.ToNode == conn.ToNode) ||

                                    (nodeConns.FromNode == conn.ToNode && nodeConns.ToNode == conn.FromNode)) && conn != nodeConns)

                                {

                                    evtArgs.Cancel = true;                                   

                                    diagram1.Model.RemoveChild(conn);

                                    break;

                                }

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

        }
