Decorator Class
When overridden in a derived class, represents a decorator element in the diagram.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams.dll)
Syntax
Public MustInherit Class Decorator
Dim instance As Decorator
public abstract class Decorator
public ref class Decorator abstract
public abstract class Decorator
Remarks
Decorators are wrapped around other elements in the diagram to format them.
To guarantee that inner decorators do not overlap, you should anchor them to the diagram. To anchor decorators, first override [InitializeShapeFields] to call the base. Then use [FindShapeField] to locate the shape field to which you want to apply the decorator, and then call the appropriate anchoring method.
Examples
In the following example, the Name decorator is anchored to the right side of the Name2 decorator.
partial class WizardPageShape
{
protected override void InitializeShapeFields(IList<Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams.ShapeField> shapeFields)
{
base.InitializeShapeFields(shapeFields);
ShapeField name = ShapeElement.FindShapeField(shapeFields, "Name");
ShapeField name2 = ShapeElement.FindShapeField(shapeFields, "Name2");
name.AnchoringBehavior.SetLeftAnchor(name2, AnchoringBehavior.Edge.Right, 0.01);
}
}
