GoTextNode Figure Issue

Dear, <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

We are using GoTextNode to display our data as displayed below.

<?:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" />

We have GoFuigers (built in) and UserDefined icons as well in our tool box. The issue(s) are:

  1. When we put long text for the node it looses it’s original shape as displayed above. We want node Figure to remain fix in size but node Text can grow up to any length.
  2. As we have userdefined icons too, so how to assign them to figure property of GoTextNode. right now we are setting the background of node inplace of figure.

  1. Find the text object from GoTextNode (see GoGroup.Item)
  2. Set text object property:
    obj.Wrapping = true;
    obj.WrappingWidth = given width;

The background object in GoTextObject is define to wrap around the text label plus the margin.

So, what you're seeing is what we'd expect.
To get the behavior you'd want, you'd have to derive a class similar to DecoratedTextNode in Demo1 (except you would make the decoration a GoShape instead of a GoImage).
shown above selected and not selected with Background.Visible=false and on the bottom with Background.Visible = true;
[code]
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using Northwoods.Go;
using Northwoods.Go.Draw;
namespace Demo1 {
// A GoTextNode with a decoration near the top right corner,
// showing an image "behind" the Background shape and some text
// centered on the image.
[Serializable]
public class ShapeTextNode : GoTextNode {
public ShapeTextNode() {
// create the decoration
GoDrawing decoration = new GoDrawing(GoFigure.Cylinder1);
decoration.Resizable = false;
decoration.Selectable = false;
float height = this.Height;
decoration.Size = new SizeF(height, height);
myDecoration = decoration;
// add margin for the Shape
this.TopLeftMargin = new SizeF(height + 8, 4);
this.BottomRightMargin = new SizeF(4, 4);
// put the decoration behind the Background shape
Add(decoration);
// initialize this node...
this.Text = "ShapeTextNode";
this.Background.Visible = false;
}
// this field keeps track of this group's decoration
private GoDrawing myDecoration = null;
// update the field to refer to the copied decoration if the node is copied
protected override void CopyChildren(GoGroup newgroup, GoCopyDictionary env) {
base.CopyChildren(newgroup, env);
ShapeTextNode node = (ShapeTextNode)newgroup;
node.myDecoration = (GoDrawing)env[myDecoration];
}
// this property is for convenience in accessing the decoration
public GoDrawing Decoration {
get { return myDecoration; }
}
// these two properties are for convenience, if you want to get or set their values
public GoFigure DecorationFigure {
get {
GoDrawing dec = this.Decoration;
if (dec != null)
return dec.Figure;
else
return GoFigure.Decision;
}
set {
GoDrawing dec = this.Decoration;
if (dec != null)
dec.Figure = value;
}
}
// position the BottomRight of the decoration's Label to be just
// above this node's Background, aligned with the right edge of this node's Label
public override void LayoutChildren(GoObject childchanged) {
base.LayoutChildren(childchanged);
GoDrawing dec = this.Decoration;
if (dec != null && this.Background != null && this.Label != null) {
dec.SetSpotLocation(MiddleRight, this.Label, MiddleLeft, new SizeF(-4,0));
}
}
}
}

I taken help from your code and able to implement in my class. Now Figure and Text are coming fine as i wanted. but any how i have a problem with the link now using this code. see the image below

1.Now the link arrow is coming over the Figure but we want the link Arrow to come up to Node's left corner.
2.The Ports are coming arround the text but we want them to be arround the Figure.

this is the code we are using now to display the port.

public override bool OnMouseOver(GoInputEventArgs evt, GoView view) { GraphView v = view as GraphView; if (v != null) { foreach (GoPort p in this.Ports) { p.SkipsUndoManager = true; p.Style = GoPortStyle.Ellipse; p.Brush = null; p.SkipsUndoManager = false; } } return false; }

Looks like you are positioning all of your ports relative to the text label, and not taking the Figure into account. My code above puts the ports on the four sides of the bounding rect, which is the default GoTextNode behavior.

Dear Jake,

Where is your Code?
The ports come around the GoTextNodeLabel not entire node. give me the sample for putting the ports arround the Node

That’s the all the code above… Here’s what I see:
