Swim Lane drop from palette not sizing properly

[Jim Jacobs]

Hi,

See the attached video for a demonstration of the issue.
The swimlane that is dropped is very small and does not even show the lane.
I have to drag it to get the size I want,

Here's how the palette item is created in code behind:

Lane horLane = CreateSwimLane("HorizLane", "horizontal", 140, 60);
...
private Lane CreateSwimLane(string name, string orientation, int width, int height)
    {
        Lane swimLane = new Lane();
        swimLane.Name = name;
        swimLane.Header.Text = "";
        swimLane.Header.Width = 60;
        swimLane.Header.Height = 60;
        swimLane.Header.FillColor = "#C7D4DF";
        swimLane.Header.FontSize = 11;
        swimLane.Width = width;
        swimLane.Height = height;
        swimLane.Orientation = orientation;
        swimLane.FillColor = "#f5f5f5";
        swimLane.OffsetX = 60;
        swimLane.OffsetY = 60;
        return swimLane;
    }

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Jim

Hi Jim

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

Please note that the lane rendered in the palette has it’s default value of width and height which is set in the code behind. Whenever we drag and drop the node(lane) from the palette into the diagram, then the node’s width and height will be based on the PreviewWidth and previewHeight. So we suggest you to set the width and height for the lane using the “nodeCollectionChange” event and this event triggers before the node gets added in the diagram. We have provided sample and code snippet below for your reference.

Code snippet:

DiagramContent.OnClientNodeCollectionChange = "nodecollectionchanged";

function nodecollectionchanged(args) {

if (args) {

            if (args.element && args.element.isSwimlane) {

                if (args.element.orientation == "horizontal") {

                    args.element.minHeight = 120;

                    args.element.minWidth = 450;

                }

                if (args.element.orientation == "vertical") {

                    args.element.minHeight = 450;

                    args.element.minWidth = 120;

                }

                diagram.updateNode(args.element.name, {});

            }

        } 

}

Hi Shya,

The code you provided works.  Thanks

However, subsequent lanes dropped on the swimlane do not size properly.
See the attached video.

How do I fix this?

Thanks again.

Jim
