Connectors

Connectors are used for components connection on desktop panel. Connector is an individual component displayed in component tree as "Connector".

After connector between two components was created, it remains seamless till:

  • Connector is deleted;
  • One component is deleted;
  • Connector pin point is deleted;

    • Creation

    After pin point activation on any component, connector creation starts. Setting of via point is implemented by clicking on left mouse button.

    If set up point is included into other component neighbor of pin point, connector is created. Connector creation complies with the following rules:

  • If no pin points were defined during line creation, connector is created at the shortest path.
  • If pin points were defined during creation, connector is created according to points. These points can be corrected for changing path of connector.

    • Common Properties

    Width, Height, Bindings, Enabled, Visible, Foreground, Border, Font, Cursor, Tooltip, Popup Menu

    Custom Properties

    Component properties are described in Polyline section.

    Path

    Defines the connector's build mode. There are three modes: a polyline, an orthogonal mode, and a cubic Bezier curve.

    Property name: path

    Property type: Integer

    Start Component Name

    Defines the initial component to which the connector is attached.

    Property name: startComponentName

    Property type: String

    End Component Name

    Defines the end component to which the connector is attached.

    Property name: endComponentName

    Property type: String

    Start Pin Point Name

    Defines the initial pin point to which the connector is attached.

    Property name: startPinName

    Property type: String

    End Pin Point Name

    Defines the end pin point to which the connector is attached.
