Franky's Notes: DiagramLib

Description

DiagramLib is a library that give the opportunity to draw some schema like Visio. I did this librairy doing a addon to Microsoft Visual Studio. The goal was simple use the drag&drop to quickly build a schema.

Features

You can draw many different shapes like: oval, rectangle, rounded rectangle, diamond and the special class shape.
Each shape is completely manageable by the UI. You just need to right-click on a shape to get the Property windows, exactly like Microsoft Visual Studio.
You can draw connection between shapes. Those connections will automatically be re-draw to optimize the path as you moving a shape. Also the connections have the same customization feature as all shape.
The board will automatically expend if needed.
You can save and load the schema.

Code

To be able to use the library you just need to add a reference to it.

        1: private GraphControl oBoard;

       2:  

       3: this.oBoard = new Compuware.DiagramLib.GraphControl();

       4:  

       5: this.oBoard.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;

       6: this.oBoard.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);

       7: this.oBoard.Name = "oBoard";

       8: this.oBoard.ShowLoadSaveOption = true;

       9: this.oBoard.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(605, 372);

      10: this.oBoard.Tracking = false;
