Control Node feature request

Question

Currently control nodes have 4 activation styles: Click, Double Click, None, and Selected Click.  It''d be nice if you could add Left Click, and Right click to this mix.  

I currently use click.  My problem is that I have a context menu that displays on right click of a node.  As a side effect, this right click also activates the control.

Jeff,

I will go ahead and file a feature request for the LeftClick, RightClick options for activating the ControlNode. For now you can workaround this limitation by providing a custom implementation of the Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.ControlNodeTool class that activates the ControlNode only in response to Left button clicks. For the Click Activation style, the ControlNodeTool class uses its OnMouseUp method to activate the control node. Overriding this method in a subclass of the ControlNodeTool will let you restrict the activation to mouse left clicks. Registering new interactive tools is discussed in this KB article - http://www.syncfusion.com/support/kb/diagram/Default.aspx?ToDo=view&questId=48.
