How To Detect Whether The Connection Changes Occurs in Diagram

27 Aug 2018 / 3 minutes to read

You can use the Diagram.Model.EventSink’s ConnectionChanging/ConnectionChanged events to detect whether the connection changes has been occurred between the nodes in diagram.

The following code examples illustrates to detect a connection changes occurs in diagram,

///Registering the ConnectionsChanging and ConnectionsChanged events... 
diagram1.Model.EventSink.ConnectionsChanging += EventSink_ConnectionsChanging;
diagram1.Model.EventSink.ConnectionsChanged += EventSink_ConnectionsChanged;

void EventSink_ConnectionsChanging(CollectionExEventArgs evtArgs)
{
EndPoint endpoint = evtArgs.Element as EndPoint;
if (evtArgs.ChangeType == CollectionExChangeType.Insert)
{
//Add your logic here while creating the connection...
if (endpoint.Port != null)
MessageBox.Show("Connection creating from " + endpoint.Port.Container.Name);
}
else if (evtArgs.ChangeType == CollectionExChangeType.Remove)
{
//Add your logic here while removing the connection...
if (endpoint.Port != null)
MessageBox.Show("Connection removing from " + endpoint.Port.Container.Name);
}
}

void EventSink_ConnectionsChanged(CollectionExEventArgs evtArgs)
{
EndPoint endpoint = evtArgs.Element as EndPoint;
if (evtArgs.ChangeType == CollectionExChangeType.Insert)
{
//Add your logic here when created the connection...
MessageBox.Show("Connection created with " + endpoint.Port.Container.Name);
}
else if (evtArgs.ChangeType == CollectionExChangeType.Remove)
{
//Add your logic here when removed the connection...
MessageBox.Show("Connection has been removed");
}
}
