Public ReadOnly Property Anchoring As AnchoringBehavior
public AnchoringBehavior Anchoring { get; }

Property Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams.AnchoringBehavior

Remarks

The Anchoring contains settings that specify whether the sides of the shape are coupled to sides of the parent, or to sides of siblings.

Typically you set Anchoring for a shape and its children in an override of InitializeInstanceResources.

Examples

   
protected override void InitializeInstanceResources()
{
  base.InitializeInstanceResources();
  this.Anchoring.SetLeftAnchor(AnchoringBehavior.Edge.Left, 0.01);
  this.Anchoring.SetTopAnchor(AnchoringBehavior.Edge.Top, 0.01);

  // Set Anchoring for child shapes here ...
}
