How do I navigate from a symbol to another via links?

[Tommy Norman]

Hello,

How do I programatically navigate from one symbol to another connected to each other via links?

Symbol1->Port->Connection->Port->Link->Port->Connection->Port->Symbol2

I also need to determine the source and destination symbol out from an inserted link object within the diagram_ChildrenChanging event handler

A code sample would really be appreciated.

Best Regards
Tommy

Hi again,

My question on how to determine the source and destination symbol out from an inserted link is already solved. I could get all info out from the link object in the diagram_ConnectionsChangeComplete event handler.

The first question is also not relevent any more.

However I have a new question instead.

How can I programatically create a link between two symbol objects including the neccessary connections?

Hi Tommy,

You can use the Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.LinkCmd command class to programmatically form a connection between two symbols. The following code should give you an idea,

// Create a LinkCmd object and set it up with the Link, the Source and Target ports
LinkCmd linkcommand = new LinkCmd();
linkcommand.Link = new Link(Link.Shapes.Line);
linkcommand.SourcePort = symbol1.CenterPort;
linkcommand.TargetPort = symbol2.CenterPort;

// Execute the command to connect the two symbols
this.diagram.Controller.ExecuteCommand(linkcommand);
