How can I programmatically add a symbol from the palette?
The following code sample demonstrates how you can programmatically add a symbol from the symbol palette to a Diagram.
[C#]
//New InsertNodesCmd InsertNodesCmd insCmd = new InsertNodesCmd(); // Select the Symbol from the PaletteGroupView
this.paletteGroupView1.SelectSymbolModel(this.paletteGroupView1.GroupViewItems[1].Text);
SymbolModel symModel = this.paletteGroupView1.SelectedSymbolModel;
// New NodeCollection
NodeCollection nodes = new NodeCollection();
// Add Symbol to the NodeCollection
if (symModel != null)
{
Symbol triangle = symModel.CreateSymbol();
nodes.Add(triangle);
}
insCmd.Nodes.Concat(nodes);
insCmd.Location = new PointF(125, 125);
// ExecuteCommand to add the Symbol
this.diagram1.Controller.ExecuteCommand(insCmd);
[VB.NET]
' New InsertNodesCmd
Dim insCmd As New InsertNodesCmd()
' Select the Triangle from the PaletteGroupView
Me.paletteGroupView1.SelectSymbolModel(Me.paletteGroupView1.GroupViewItems(1).Text)
Dim symModel As SymbolModel = Me.paletteGroupView1.SelectedSymbolModel
' New NodeCollection
Dim nodes As New NodeCollection()
' Add Symbol to the NodeCollection
If Not (symModel Is Nothing) Then
Dim triangle As Symbol = symModel.CreateSymbol()
nodes.Add(triangle)
End If
insCmd.Nodes.Concat(nodes)
insCmd.Location = New PointF(125, 125)
' Execute the InsertNodesCmd
Me.diagram1.Controller.ExecuteCommand(insCmd)
