In Nevron Diagram WinForm Exaples, there is in Diagram Designer a Connector Tool available.
I'd like to add similar one, but when I call for activate, it always adds starting point, and I'm able to define only end point.

How should I activate it to be able to specyfiy with mouse starting point as well?

Ex:
--

NCreateConnectorTool tool = view.Controller.Tools.GetToolByName("Create connector tool") as CreateConnectorTool;
tool.ConnectorType = ConnectorType.SideToSide;

tool.Activate();

Hi Michal,

By default the Activate method of the connector tool gets the mouse information directly from the Controller.MouseInfo property. The MouseInfo is automatically updated by the Controller whenever it receives a request to process a certain UI event.

To trick the connector tool you can call the UpdateMouseInfo method of the controller, prior to calling the connector Activate method. For example:

view.Controller.UpdateMouseInfo(new MouseEventArgs(MouseButtons.Left, 1, yourX, yourY, 0), MouseEvent.LeftButtonDown);

connectorTool.Activate();

Best regards,
Ivo
