Creating bitmapnode programmatically

[Robin Russell]

I am trying to create a symbol programmatically in vb.net 2005, i dont get an error but the symbol is not displayed, if i remove 'Me.AppendChild(m_BitmapNode)' then i see the rectangle otherwise i dont see anything.

' Add an outer rectangle
Me.m_OuterRect = New Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(0, 0, 120, 80)
Me.m_OuterRect.Name = "Rectangle"
Me.m_OuterRect.FillStyle.Type = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.FillStyleType.LinearGradient
Me.m_OuterRect.FillStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.White
Me.m_OuterRect.FillStyle.Color = Color.White
Me.m_OuterRect.ShadowStyle.Visible = True
Me.m_OuterRect.EditStyle.AllowSelect = False
Me.AppendChild(m_OuterRect)

' Add BitmapNode
Try
Me.m_BitmapNode = New BitmapNode("c:\8662_executive_sip_endpoint_2.bmp")
Me.m_BitmapNode.Name = "Image"
Me.m_BitmapNode.EditStyle.AllowSelect = False
Me.AppendChild(m_BitmapNode)
Catch ex As Exception

End Try

Hi Robin,

If you want to add an image to the symbol then you can add the BitmapNode in MySymbol class. Please refer to the following code snippet

Me.outerRect = New Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(0, 0, 120, 80)
Me.outerRect.Name = "Rectangle"
Me.outerRect.FillStyle.Type = Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.FillStyleType.LinearGradient
Me.outerRect.FillStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange
Me.outerRect.FillStyle.Color = Color.Orange
Me.outerRect.ShadowStyle.Visible = True
Me.AppendChild(outerRect)

Dim bmpnode As BitmapNode = New BitmapNode("..\..\nature.jpg")
bmpnode.Bounds = New RectangleF(60,40,60,40)
bmpnode.Name="Image"
Me.AppendChild(bmpnode)

I have attached the sample for your reference. You can download the sample from the following page.

Please refer to the sample and let me know if you have any questions

I have read your response, i am using version 5.1.0.51 of syncfusion and it seems that 'bounds' is not valid on a bitmap node!
and thus i cannot use:
bmpnode As BitmapNode = New BitmapNode("..\..\nature.jpg")
bmpnode.Bounds = New RectangleF(60,40,60,40)<

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the information

If you want to add the image in a Node then you have to the following code snippet in CustomNode class

Dim bmp As BitmapNode = New BitmapNode("..\..\Sun.bmp")
bmp.PinPoint = New PointF(20, 30)
bmp.Size = New SizeF(30, 20)
Me.AppendChild(bmp)

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Nagaraj
