Custom Connector (LineConnector derivation)

[Domenico Mozzone]

Dear Syncfusion support,

I have to add functionalities to a Diagram based wpf application.

Syncfusion Library version is 13.1.0.21

The request is to customize connectors in order to add properties, styles and so on.

I've succesfully created a TestConnector, but its aspect on the Palette is more or less a small segment.

I've attached an example based on your Line Connector Demo. As you can see the Test connector is shown in the palette as described , while dragging it in the diagram it's aspect is ok.

Where's my error?

I'd like also to add tools in the Ribbon to add my custom connectors to the Diagram instead of dragging them from palette, can you help me?

Thank you

Domenico

Dear Ranjitha,
Thank you for you help.

The first response is clear and solves my question.  The second is ok for a straight standard connector, but how can I use the same mechanism for the custom TestConnector?

I would like to associate my custom connectors to tools.

Kind regards

Thank you

Hi, 

I've realized that long Label text on not horizontal connectors are displayed ad a distance from the connector that seems to be dependent on the connector inclination, as displayed in the attached image.

How can I have the label always by the connector?

Thank you

Kind regards

Domenico
