ContainerShape without model representation [message #1829397]

I am looking to create a Multi-Text rectangle that can accept other shapes, but addition of these shapes does not update underlying model of the text object - another words the containment is only at UI level, not the model. How can I achieve this behavior? Thank you.

Alex,

not sure if I understood that correctly. The hierarchy of the graphical representation in Graphiti and the hierarchy of the underlying model can be completely independent. You can have add or custom features that add the additional shape as child of the rectangle, but add the model object somewhere else. The association between model and graphics is then usually done by just linking the 2 objects.

HTH,
Michael
