Grouptemplate problem: just one port visible

GoXam

Hi Walter,

I got a problem with my group-template: I want to connect the links with the ports of a group-node. In my mouse-enter method I switch my ports to be visible but I can only see one of them (the one right in the middle of the group-node). This is my Group-template:

		<DataTemplate x:Key="GroupTemplate1" >
			<go:SpotPanel Style="{StaticResource SpotPanelStyle}"
			  go:Part.SelectionAdorned="True"
			  go:Node.LocationElementName="myGroupPanel"
				MouseEnter="Node_MouseEnter" MouseLeave="Node_MouseLeave"                    >
				<go:NodePanel Sizing="Auto" go:SpotPanel.Main="True">
					<Path x:Name="Shape" Style="{StaticResource NodeShapeStyle}"
					go:NodePanel.Figure="Rectangle" />
					<StackPanel>
						<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
							<TextBlock Text="Group" FontWeight="Bold" />
						</StackPanel>
						<go:GroupPanel x:Name="myGroupPanel" Padding="5" />
					</StackPanel>
				
				<Ellipse Style="{StaticResource EllipseStyle}"
				   Stroke="{Binding Path=Node.Tag,
							Converter={StaticResource theBooleanBrushConverter}}"
				   go:Node.PortId="0"
				   go:Node.LinkableTo="True"
				   go:Node.FromSpot="MiddleBottom"
				   go:SpotPanel.Spot="MiddleBottom"
				   go:SpotPanel.Alignment="MiddleBottom" />
				<Ellipse Style="{StaticResource EllipseStyle}"
				   Stroke="{Binding Path=Node.Tag,
							Converter={StaticResource theBooleanBrushConverter}}"
				   go:Node.PortId="1"
				   go:Node.LinkableFrom="True"
				   go:Node.ToSpot="MiddleTop"
				   go:SpotPanel.Spot="MiddleTop"
				   go:SpotPanel.Alignment="MiddleTop" />
				<Ellipse Style="{StaticResource EllipseStyle}"
				   Stroke="{Binding Path=Node.Tag,
							Converter={StaticResource theBooleanBrushConverter}}"
				   go:Node.PortId="2"
				   go:Node.FromSpot="MiddleLeft"
				   go:Node.ToSpot="MiddleLeft"
				   go:SpotPanel.Spot="MiddleLeft"
				   go:SpotPanel.Alignment="MiddleLeft" />
				<Ellipse Style="{StaticResource EllipseStyle}"
				   Stroke="{Binding Path=Node.Tag,
							Converter={StaticResource theBooleanBrushConverter}}"
				   go:Node.PortId="3"
				   go:Node.FromSpot="MiddleRight"
				   go:Node.ToSpot="MiddleRight"
				   go:SpotPanel.Spot="MiddleRight"
				   go:SpotPanel.Alignment="MiddleRight" />
				</go:NodePanel>
			</go:SpotPanel>
		</DataTemplate>

 
Can You see whats wrong with this? I copied nearly the whole template from one of the samples.

Aren’t you terminating the NodePanel too late, by having it include all of the port elements (Ellipses)? Those ports should belong to the SpotPanel, not the NodePanel, since you are setting SpotPanel attached properties on the ports.

BTW, the StackPanel surrounding the TextBlock seems superfluous.

thanks Walter,

Smile that fixed the problem. The stackpanel is there because I still have to add additional controls here.
