I am trying to create an environment similar to the Biztalk Mapping Environment, which has two node views on either side of the main View. It can be seen here:
http://www.microsoft.com/biztalk/images/img_BizTalkMapper.gi f
http://www.peirsontopeirson.com/one_CD/CD_Master/images/mapp er.gif
How might I accomplish this with GoDiagram? I tried setting up 3 GoViews, but it didn’t like that, it would just copy objects when I dragged them back and forth, and the links couldn’t go between different GoViews. Maybe there is a way to set up different regions where certain objects are or aren’t permitted, with different color backgrounds?
Why not use two TreeViews in a GoView?
Here’s one way to put a System.Windows.Forms.TreeView in a GoView, using a GoControl:
http://www.nwoods.com/forum/uploads/TreeViewNode.cs
That code doesn’t do anything to manage a bunch of GoPorts that you’ll want positioned where the System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodes are. You’ll want to handle expand and collapse, of course, and also drag-and-drop to start drawing a new link from inside a TreeView.
I think I can handle the collapse/expand stuff, but what would you suggest to do this?
Here is what I have so far:

End SubI think you need to implement TreeView.ItemDrag event handlers.
To have the GoView get into the “drawing-a-new-link” mode, you need to do something like:
GoToolLinkingNew tool = (GoToolLinkingNew)goView1.FindMouseTool(typeof(GoToolLinking ));
tool.OriginalStartPort = … the port in the TreeViewNode corresponding to the WinForms TreeNode …;
goView1.Tool = tool; // start the linking tool
I have been running into lots of issues, do you have a working TreeViewNode?
That file I referenced (in our uploads directory) is all we’ve got.
Perhaps someone else has a similar need and can work with you on this.
Eventually we’ll implement this too, but right now we’re busy. In fact, we have almost exactly what you want as a new example, but it’s part of JGo for Swing, not GoDiagram Win. Since most of the work is TreeView-specific, rather than Go-specific, none of that code will translate into WinForms.
Hi Ericasimon and Walter,
I’m going to design a mapper like yours.
If you have any info tell me please.
Thank for ahead

Hi all,
I am interested in a sample about the same subject.
Thank you,
Simone
Hi Walter,
I have some problems as following:
-How to make the ports of the Attributes expand to the right margin when Operations is expanded.
-How to make two ports for the Attributes and the Operations on the left and the right at top instead of middle.

I have NOT tried the code in the previous post.
Basically you will need to override LayoutChildren of the GoGroup that is the parent of the objects you want to position.
