Position problems with String.Empty in TextNode.Text

[Jamie Wright]

I have a TextNode with the Text property set to String.Empty. No matter what I set the X and Y coordinates to, they are reset back to zero when the Text property is String.Empty. Is this a bug or is this exprected behavior. I obviously know a work around but is there a better way to handle this?

Hi Jamie,

How are you creating and adding this TextNode to the Diagram? I tried to reproduce the described scenario, but using the InsertNodesCmd to position the empty TextNode, and it works as expected without any problems. The following is the code that I tested with,

// Create a TextNode without any Text
TextNode txtnode = new TextNode();
txtnode.Size = new SizeF(150,50);

InsertNodesCmd inscmd = new InsertNodesCmd();
inscmd.Location = new PointF(150,50);
inscmd.Nodes.Add(txtnode);

this.diagramComponent.Controller.ExecuteCommand(inscmd);;

Have you tried using the MoveCmd to reposition the TextNode?
