I need to have a usercontrol that contains multiple linkshapes. But when I declare such control within a linkpanel the link is not rendered correctly. If i declare the multiple linkshapes directly on the linkpanel then it works fine. Any way to get around thi issue?
Why do you need to have multiple link shapes in a UserControl?
I suspect it won’t work to put the LinkPanel inside your UserControl so that it can be a proper parent of the LinkShapes, but I’m not certain that that will work either.
I am trying to create a pipe control. I also reproduced this problem in the goxam pipe sample. If you just “wrap” the three linkshapes to create the pipe in a Grid (non even a custon control) then the rendering is all off.

Yes, a LinkShape has to be an immediate child of a LinkPanel (or else it must be the only element of a Link).
Links are different from most kinds of FrameworkElements because of their dependence on other elements to determine their position, size and shape.
