Hello,
I have been working on Essential Diagram and custom symbols for a while. Our custom symbols are created for the most part in the Symbol Designer (with some elements added at runtime, and properties altered at runtime after deserializing the symbol palette).
Here's what we are trying to accomplish: our symbols display some information concerning the data that they represent. That data is editable in a properties user control. However, some symbols have too much information to display by default, but a user may need to see all of it on the symbol at one point. Our proposed solution is to embed a control on the symbol, which would resize the symbol and display the 'advanced information' when clicked.
Much like the ControlsGalore sample, I have placed a Button inside a ControlNode, and added the ControlNode to the group that forms our Symbol. However, I cannot seem to activate it, regardless of the button's activation style.
I have tried to ungroup our symbol and see if the control could be activated, when ungrouped. The button was activated as expected when ungrouped. I have then attempted the same process in the ControlsGalore sample (see attached snippet)... I group a button and a text control node in a group, and I cannot activate these controls.
Is there any way to activate a control within a group? If not, is there any other way to solve this problem with your suite?
Thank you
