I need to use fixed-size bitmaps for drawing shapes in my view. I've used the RectangleShape class and set it to show the desired image. However, when a user selects the shape, I'd like to prevent the resize handles from appearing - the shape can be moved but not resized.

I've tried setting most of the TrackersAppearance members to have Size = new NSizeF(0.0F, 0.0F) but can't seem to prevent the resize handles from appearing.

Hi Robert,

 

Take a look at the help documentation topic: Abilities, Protection and Permissions

 

You can use the following code:

 

// protect a shape from ResizeX and ResizeY

NAbilities protection = shape1.Protection;

protection.ResizeX = true;

protection.ResizeY = true;

shape1.Protection = protection;

 

// hide the shape disabled handles in the view

nDrawingView1.TrackersManager.HideDisabledHandles = true;

 

Regarding your second question – yes, you can position the text label beneath the shape by using the text offset property.
