V5: V4 Polygon.BorderStyle property equivalent

[Apolon Ivankovic]

In V4.x of Ess Diag, there was a BorderStyle property for fill oriented shapes. In V5 can I use the FilledPath.LineStyle property as a replacement?
i.e. does it affect the line style of the border of a FilledPath.

Also, there was a V4 BorderStyle.ShowBorder property that allowed the border line to be turned on/off for filled shapes. How do you do the equivalent in V5?

Hi Apolon,

Thanks for your interest in Essential Diagram.

Yes, the filledpath.LineStyle in v5.1 can be used instead of the BorderStyle property in v4.4.

In v5.1 there is no ShowBorder property.So if your intention is to make the border invisible for a node then it can done by setting the Color of the BorderLine of the node to transparent as shown in the code snippet below,

filledpath.LineStyle.LineColor = Color.Transparent;

Let me know whether this helps you.

Thanks & Regards,
Ramya.

Ok, I'll use the transparent color approach. Because of the large number of Ess Diag API changes my app is currently in a state where lots of code commented out and maybe throws a NotImplementedException. This is just to get it into a state where it compiles successfully against the V5 Diag API. Once it compiles and some basic V5 diagram functionality is working, then the process will be to slowly add the functionality back in using whatever approach works in V5.

Bottom Line: I'll get back to you with how I go with the transparent color approach once the app is workable again.
