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

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

Configure the Drop Event:

• Handle the drop event, which is triggered when an element is dropped from the symbol palette onto 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 style='display:block' ref="diagramObject" id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :drop='drop'></ejs-diagram>

function drop(arg) {
diagram.startTextEdit();
};
