Custom ConnectionPoint

[Domenico Mozzone]

Dear Support,
I'm trying to draw a custom ConnectionPoint. I mean a ConnectionPoint with a my own shape.
I tried to set the property ConnectionPoint.VisualType = PortVisualType.Custom and then to assign the ConnectionPoint.GraphicsPath to have my conncetion point shape, but I miss something as the custom connectionpoint is not visible on the node.
To set the Custom Cconnectionpoint color I used the FillStyle property.

Thank you
Best Regards
Domenico

A clarification
setting Connectionpoint properties as explained in my post the result is a Connectionpoint with X symbol.

Hi Domenico,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

Please use below code to draw a custom ConnectionPoint:

[C#]

 private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle rect = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(100, 100, 100, 100);
            rect.EnableCentralPort = false;
            ConnectionPoint cp = new ConnectionPoint();
            cp.Position = Position.MiddleRight;
            cp.VisualType = PortVisualType.Custom;
            cp.GraphicsPath = CustomShape();
            rect.Ports.Add(cp);
            this.diagram1.Model.AppendChild(rect);
            this.diagram1.Controller.ActivateTool("LineLinkTool");
        }

        private GraphicsPath CustomShape()
        {
            GraphicsPath gp = new GraphicsPath();
            Size szText = TextRenderer.MeasureText("$", new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 12));
            gp.AddString("$", FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 1, 12, new Point(-szText.Width / 2, -szText.Height / 2), new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.NoWrap));
            return gp;
        }

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Melba

Thank you Melba,
your example helped me in finding that the problem was related to my graphicpath.
Have a nice day
