Get symbolitem from sfdiagram

[Alex]

Hello! I am using Stencil and Sfdiagram. First of all I add SymbolItem to stencil like this:

 SymbolItem s_item = new SymbolItem();
   ...
   NodeViewModel node = new NodeViewModel()
{...};
  s_item.Symbol = node;
 ((SymbolCollection)stencil.SymbolSource).Add(s_item);

1. Then after adding an item from the stencil to the sfdiagram I want to get information about s_item. How can I do this?
2. After adding the same item 2 time I want to use s_item not as reference but as separate object. Could you help me?

1	Then after adding an item from the stencil to the sfdiagram I want to get information about s_item. How can I do this?	We have a support to achieve your requirement by using ItemAdded event for SfDiagram. Please find the code example as below.  Code example:  //ItemAdded Event for SfDiagram  (Diagram.Info as IGraphInfo).ItemAdded += MainWindow_ItemAdded;    void MainWindow_ItemAdded(object sender, ItemAddedEventArgs args)  {     if (args.Item is INode)      {         NodeViewModel nvm = (args.Item as NodeViewModel);        }    }  Here,  Diagram is Instance of SfDiagram.  nvm is dropped Node item.
2	After adding the same item 2 time I want to use s_item not as reference but as separate object. Could you help me?	We will clone the object when Drag and drop the object form Stencil to Diagram.

 

Note: 

If our provided information is different from your requirement, please provide a screen short or sample to represent your requirement.

Thanks.
1) Maybe my question was not clear so

 SymbolItem s_item = new SymbolItem();
  item.Key = content;
   ...
   NodeViewModel node = new NodeViewModel()
{...};
  s_item.Symbol = node;
 ((SymbolCollection)stencil.SymbolSource).Add(s_item);

How can I get object content(that is bold) from NodeViewModel then?
2) got it

Hi Alex, 

 

 

We have used Key property of ISymbol for custom purpose like searching the Symbols. We have also used key property for NodeViewModel, you can use this instead of using Key property of ISymbol. Also, we have a suggestion to use Custom property by creating Derived(Custom) NodeViewModel.
