usage of Arc link

Hi, I am first time user of Syncfusion Diagram objects, I have created two rounded rectangle as follows RoundRect rr=new RoundRect(x,y,width,height); rr.Name=text; int childIndex=diagram1.Model.AppendChild(rr); diagram1.Referesh(); 1) can any one help me how to add arc link to the rounded Rectangle as created above, i have the child index of both the rectancle. 2) Can the arc connected between two rectangle have multiple drag points(the selection point where we can resize or repostion a shape), so that i can click and drag to change the arc shape. I noticed in the diagram sample there only two points(one in starting and other in end) for the arc

Hi Gokul, Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion. As with your queries, you cannot create an ArcLink between Shapes and you can achieve this by creating Symbols. Please refer the KB articles that would demonstrate how to create custom Symbols.Refer the following link, http://www.syncfusion.com/support/kb/diagram/Default.aspx We have many standard User Interactive Tools available by which you can create Links, draw Shapes, etc.The Link is a special type of Symbol that has two built-in ports : HeadPort and a TailPort.The head and the tail define the direction of a Link.An ArcLink contains only two points and if you need to create links with more points then you can go with the OrthogonalLink. Please refer the CoolLinks sample ( Diagram.Windows\Samples\Quick Start\CoolLinks ) , that is featured with some of the pre-built Link types available in EssentialDiagram.It also demonstrates the use of EndPointDecorators. I have created a sample that creates an ArcLink between two custom Symbols, please let me know if you need any further assistance. Regards, Praveena.

Hi Praveena, Thanks for your quick response. I tried the cool link sample with orthogonal links, it is creating a ployline and not a arc, am i missing any steps to create a arc with multiple points? >Hi Gokul, > >Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion. > >As with your queries, you cannot create an ArcLink between Shapes and you can achieve this by creating Symbols.
