Nodes & connectors control for diagram in VB.Net

[Allen]

Can anyone help me on how to create nodes & connectors that can be dragged to the diagram areas? The examples I found here shows only diagram created in the dragram area.  Does anyone know a video or a tutorial material (online or in documents)?

My intention is to connect several components of a virtual machine for simulation.  Let's say, I have n components, comp_1, comp_2, .. comp_n. Both one or more czn be instances of the same component (symbol to be dragged from the nodes palette to the diagram area). I will also have connectors (to connect components). Both the component(s) and connector(s) will have their properties.  The parameters of components and connectors can be changes updated at runtime   

Simulation example:

Comp --- connector --- comp ---connector ---- comp

Node palette:

Comp

                              ----------> drag and create system diagram :  Comp1 --- connector1 --- comp2 ---connector2 ---- comp3                  

Connector

Comp1, comp2, comp3 are instances of Comp

connector1, connector2 are instances of Connector

Can anyone help me? I am new in using winforms syncfusion and I work on VB.Net 3.5

Many thanks

Hi Allen, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

My intention is to connect several components of a virtual machine for simulation.  Let's say, I have n components, comp_1, comp_2, .. comp_n.	Please refer to the below attached our online documentation link for how to create the connection between the nodes.     https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/diagram/connectors-or-links#connecting-two-nodes-with-line-connector
Both one or more czn be instances of the same component (symbol to be dragged from the nodes palette to the diagram area). I will also have connectors (to connect components).	In order to achieve your requirement, we suggest you to use PaletteGroupBar/PaletteGroupView controls to add the Nodes/Connectors into the palettes. Please refer to the below attached our online documentation link for how to creating the palette and add the nodes/Connectors to that palettes.    https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/diagram/supported-controls#palette-groupbar-and-groupview
Both the component(s) and connector(s) will have their properties.  The parameters of components and connectors can be changes updated at runtime	We suggest you to PropertyEditor control to modify the parameters of the selected objects (i.e. nodes or connectors) in runtime. Please refer to the below attached online documentation link to create the property editor control in application.     https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/diagram/supported-controls#property-editor

 

Also, please refer to the below attached our diagram builder sample.
