Resize child shapes when parent resized [message #671825]

Hello,

I have a resize feature in my editor that works well with resizing a parent shape. However the shapes within the main parent is not resized.

Would it be possible to relatively resize the children of a container shape as well when the container is resized ? Or Do i have to create resize context for all children and then call 'resizeShape(IResizeShapeContext context)' method on each ?

Thanks,
Murthy

This needs to be done inside your resize feature because the framework
cannot decide if the children should be resized relatively with the parent,
stay teh same size, need to be moved...

There's several solutions to that. You can also resize the children in the
resize featture of the parent, delegate to special resize features for the
children, or leave the work for the update feature of your parent. So the
answer is: it depends...

HTH,
Michael

Thanks Michael.

But I am still in a fix in resizing the container, which contains nested shapes and texts. An not all the shapes are linked to domain model objects. Is there any sample code or snippet anywhere which could help me a little more ?

Is recursively resizing the graphicalAlgorithmChildren the only way out ?

Thanks,
Murthy

Hi,

By recursively handling the height and widths of all the child shapes, I was able to resize my parent which contains many sub shapes and containers.

Thanks,
Murthy
