Create/Open the SubDiagram using NodeClick Events
We don’t have built-in option to create/open a new sub-diagram. But we can achieve this requirement of opening the sub-diagram in application level. In this document, we are giving an example to create and open the sub-diagram in another diagram’s model using Diagram’s NodeClick event.
The following code example for registering the NodeClick event to diagram’s controller
[C#]
//Registering the nodeclick event diagram1.EventSink.NodeClick += EventSink_NodeClick;
[VB]
'Registering the nodeclick event diagram1.EventSink.NodeClick += EventSink_NodeClick
The following code example for create/open the sub diagram using NodeClick event
[C#]
void EventSink_NodeClick(NodeMouseEventArgs evtArgs)
{
//load the saved diagram file to subdiagram that we want to open
if (evtArgs.Node.Name == "Venn Diagram")
{
subDiagram = diagram3;
subDiagram.Load("..//..//Venn Diagram.edd");
}
else
{
subDiagram = diagram2;
subDiagram.Load("..//..//StateDiagram.edd");
}
if (subDiagram != null)
{
//assign the current node's location to the subdiagram location
subDiagram.Location = new Point((int)evtArgs.Node.BoundingRectangle.X, (int)evtArgs.Node.BoundingRectangle.Y);
//show the sub diagram
subDiagram.Show();
//setting the diagram bound as total bounds of the content
SizeF modelsize = subDiagram.Controller.GetBoundingRect(subDiagram.Model.Nodes, MeasureUnits.Pixel).Size;
subDiagram.Size = new Size((int)modelsize.Width, (int)modelsize.Height);
}
}
[VB]
Private Sub EventSink_NodeClick(ByVal evtArgs As NodeMouseEventArgs)
'load the saved diagram file to subdiagram that we want to open
If evtArgs.Node.Name = "Venn Diagram" Then
subDiagram = diagram3
subDiagram.Load("..//..//Venn Diagram.edd")
Else
subDiagram = diagram2
subDiagram.Load("..//..//StateDiagram.edd")
End If
If subDiagram IsNot Nothing Then
'assign the current node's location to the subdiagram location
subDiagram.Location = New Point(CInt(Fix(evtArgs.Node.BoundingRectangle.X)), CInt(Fix(evtArgs.Node.BoundingRectangle.Y)))
'show the sub diagram
subDiagram.Show()
'setting the diagram bound as total bounds of the content
Dim modelsize As SizeF = subDiagram.Controller.GetBoundingRect(subDiagram.Model.Nodes, MeasureUnits.Pixel).Size
subDiagram.Size = New Size(CInt(Fix(modelsize.Width)), CInt(Fix(modelsize.Height)))
End If
End Sub
