Custom Ports

[Matt]

When I create a custom port it shows a blue X on the node. Is there a way to make the port not have a symbol associated with it?

Dim pp As ConnectionPoint = New ConnectionPoint()
pp.Position = Position.BottomCenter
pp.VisualType = PortVisualType.Custom
pp.ConnectionPointType = ConnectionPointType.IncomingOutgoing
fromnode.Ports(fromnode.Ports.Add(pp)).Connect(line.TailEndPoint)

Hi Matt ,

Sorry for the delay. If you want to show the ports without the symbol, then you have to set the node's FillStyle.Color and LineStyle.LineColor to Transparent. Please refer to the following code snippet.

Dim con As ConnectionPoint = New ConnectionPoint()
con.VisualType = PortVisualType.Custom
Dim m_rect As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle = New Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(120, 30, 60, 30)
m_rect.Ports.Add(con)
Me.diagram1.Model.AppendChild(m_rect)
m_rect.FillStyle.Color = Color.Transparent
m_rect.LineStyle.LineColor = Color.Transparent

Please refer to the attached sample that illustrates this.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
