Some initial observations (bugs?) with swim lanes

[Jim Jacobs]

Hi,

First off, it's great that you got this feature into the tool.  It's something we definitely needed.
I've started using it, and have the following observations (some of these may be bugs; others new requirements):

• The header.Text and header.FontSize values are ignored; the header always says "HEADER" and the font size does not change
  
• The lane Height and Width properties are ignored; the dropped shape appears to be roughly 450(W) X 170(H)
• Clicking on a "node" shape in the palette causes it to be rendered on the canvas; doing so on a "lane" shape does not - you have to drag it
• The palette symbol for nodes is adjusted to fit nicely based on the palette height/width; not sure what is happening with the lane palette shape
  
• Cannot change the fill colour or gradient of a lane from the properties pane (or of the header)
• Get an exception when trying to delete a swim lane form the Edit menu (see details below)
  

Here's my code behind that creates the lane palette symbol:

        Lane horLane = new Lane();
        horLane.Name = "Horizontal Lane";
        Header header = new Header();
        header.Text = "Fred";
        header.Width = 200;
        header.FillColor = "#C7D4DF";
        header.FontSize = 24;
        horLane.Header = header;
        horLane.FillColor = "#f5f5f5";
        horLane.Height = 70;
        horLane.Width = 600;
        horLane.OffsetX = 20;
        horLane.OffsetY = 20;
        horLane.IsLane = true;
        horLane.Orientation = "horizontal";

Here's the delete exception message:

       Unhandled exception at line 10, column 3914667 in http://vs2013-jimv2/NavviaNewDev/Syncfusion/Scripts/ej/ej.web.all.min.js

       0x800a138f - JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'isGroup' of undefined or null reference

The exception is probably the biggest issue.
