Title: Highlight / select a visible Connector / Link
Post by: Viking on June 09, 2025, 11:41:58 pm

Hi, is there a possibility to highlight / select a visible connector (aka link) in an open diagram via API? GUID and ID are known for both diagram and link. V.

The Diagram.SelectedConnector might help you.

The Diagram.SelectedConnector might help you.

That works, but sometimes you need to open another diagram, and then this diagram again to see the selected connector

Many thanks.

Code: [Select]

diagram.SelectedConnector = connector;
diagram.Update();

Many thanks. But that does not work for me (version 15) (with and without refresh). Any ideas, what I can do in addition?

Code: [Select]

diagram.SelectedConnector = connector;
Sparx.Repository.ReloadDiagram(diagram.DiagramID);


I'm pretty sure ReloadDiagram also resets the selected elements/connectors.

Yes. The diagram needs an update(). Sorry for editing my comment in the meantime. You were to fast for me  ;)
