Flow Graph Wishes

Dear Santa,

1) Markup support for ConnectionPoint.Caption.

2) Add a ConnectionPoint.BackGroundColor property, so that each ConnectionPoint could have a different color as needed.

3) Add a ConnectionPoint.Alignment property (Left/Center/Right), so that each ConnectionPoint caption could be aligned regardless of the ConnectionPoint .Type.

I need all of the above badly!!!!


Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I'd like to see those enhancements too!

That would be really cool.

You could have two annotation text boxes, one for the InputPoint and one for the OutputPoint.

pCode

InputPointAnnotation.Caption = "100m/min"
InputPointAnnotation.BackGroundColor = White
InputPointAnnotation.TextColor = Black
InputPointAnnotation.BorderColor = Red
InputPointAnnotation.VertAlignment = XTPAbove

Hi to all!

I too share your wish lists!

But first of all: FlowGraph is a great control to visualize hierarchies and relationships and
I am very excited about the upcoming enhancements.

Anyhow I agree with my previous speakers and will add some wishes:

a) Make Width and Height of FlowGraphNode to Read-Write - this was the first point my
customer mentioned in a demo presentation ("It is possible to get the same width for nodes of the same level?").
Why it is possible to change width and height with mouse but not programmatically?

b) Sounds strange, but it is possible to have a connection point to a node instead of only
to connections?

c) The ablity to add any control to a FlowGraphNode like in your downloadable sample application (see
http://www.codejock.com/downloads/samples/chart.asp)

d) Add methods for moving connections (change the index) in a node

e) More properties for conections (BackgroundColor, ForegroundColor, Alignment)

f) Add connectionpoint types (arrow, triangle etc. ) instead of only a small circle

g) Add a legend (see picture below)

h) Add Icon Alignment to align the icon at top/bottom etc.



Thanks, Peter

To all Flowgraph users, our wish list is getting a "look at" by CJ and some love could be heading our way soon.

BTW, Two bugs have been fixed (XAML images/SmoothingMode & SmoothingMode resets ImageIndex).

Thanks to SuperMario!

Great Idea!

That is needed.
