Diagram Control Background Image

[David Llewellyn]

Hello,

I am trying to dispay a background image in a diagram control. I have set the "BackgroundImage" in the diagrams properties and the following line of code is generated:

this.diagram1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("diagram1.BackgroundImage")));

But no image appears, at design time or run-time.

I also tried loading the image when a button is pressed:-

this.diagram1.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(@"C:\pic.bmp");

This doesnt display the image either.

Does anyone know how to display a background image for the diagram control?

Thanks,
David.

Hello David,

The diagram control''s background is provided by the Diagram''s Model component. To change the background you will have to provide suitable values for the diagram.Model.BackgroundStyle property.

To set an image for the background you can assign the image to the diagram.Model.BackgroundStyle.Texture property, set the BackgroundStyle.Type as Texture and the TextureWrapMode to Tile, Clamp or one of the other options. The fllowing code should give you an idea,

this.diagramComponent.Model.BackgroundStyle.Texture = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("diagramComponent.Model.BackgroundStyle.Texture")));
this.diagramComponent.Model.BackgroundStyle.Type = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.BackgroundStyleType.Texture;

Please refer to the Class
Reference documentation on the Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Model.BackgroundStyle property and the Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.BackgroundStyle class for additional details on setting the diagram background.
