Copy/Paste text node but with more information

[Blanca Calderon]

Hi,

I need to control copy/paste of a selected text node. In my case I have to copy not only the "design" but the information, xml information that I have associated to a node.

When I copy a selected node I need to know which node is to duplicate not only the node but the information in my xml archive. I need the name of the node selected during copy/paste but I don't know how to make it, could you help me?

Thanks

Hi Blanca,

In order to achieve your requirement, please override the “Clone” method in customized class and customized class must be in serialized format. Otherwise, you can use Node’s “PropertyBag” property to add the custom properties for the default nodes. Please refer to the below code example and sample. Code example: [C#] //constructor with SerializationInfo and StreamingContext protected CustomRectangle(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) : base(info, context) { } //Clone the Custome symbol public override object Clone() { return new CustomRectangle(this); } Sample: Sample

By default you can copy/paste the selected nodes only. So you can use Diagram’s “KeyUp” events to get the selected nodes while copying/pasting the nodes. Please refer to the below code example. Code example: [C#] diagram1.KeyUp += new KeyEventHandler(diagram1_KeyUp); void diagram1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.C) { //copy nodes NodeCollection copy = diagram1.View.SelectionList; } if (e.Control && e.KeyCode == Keys.V) { //pasted nodes NodeCollection paste = diagram1.View.SelectionList; } }
