How to enable annotation edit mode after dropping a node from the palette to the Angular Diagram canvas?

This article explains how to enable annotation edit mode after dropping a node from the palette onto the Angular Diagram canvas. To enable annotation edit mode after a node is dropped from the symbol palette onto the Angular Diagram, follow these steps:

Configure the Drop Event:

• Handle the drop event, which is triggered when an element is dropped from the symbol palette to the diagram canvas.

Call the startTextEdit Method:

• Within the drop event handler, call the startTextEdit method of the diagram.
• The startTextEdit method initiates the editing mode for the associated annotation of the dropped node or connector.
• This allows users to directly modify the text of the dropped node or connector.

Refer to the code sample of the above steps:

 <ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="95%" height="100%"  (drop)="drop($event)" (created)="created()">
 </ejs-diagram>

  public drop(arg: IDragEnterEventArgs): void {
       this.diagram.startTextEdit();
   }
