multiple connection styles at the same time

Jason,

In my application, I'd like to support two styles of connections, one with solid line and one with dashed line. I tried to created a DiagramConnecitonStyleSelector by following the way to create ShapeNodeStyleSelector. But the styles are not applied to the connections. What could be wrong?

        <ms:DiagramConnectionStyleSelector x:Key="ConnectionStyleSelector">
            <ms:TypeStyle DataType="local:SignalConnection" Style="{StaticResource SignalConnectionStyle}"/>
            <ms:TypeStyle DataType="local:StreamConnection" Style="{StaticResource StreamConnectionStyle}"/>
        </ms:DiagramConnectionStyleSelector>

Best, Xiaochu

From the source code, I found that the custom style won't be applied if the LineStyle is not null (which is true, because the default LineStyle is ElbowArrow). Then what is the best way to support what I wanted? Thanks!

Hello Xiaochu

Sorry for the confusion. The LineType + DiagramConnectionStyleSelector is a way to apply a style by setting a single property rather than creating lots of connection implementations that don't have any logical/functional differences. This is useful if your building an application that allows the user to apply whatever style they want to each connection.

Since your 2 connection implementations are probably functionally different, what you are doing is correct, but all you need to do to get it working is change DiagramConnectionStyleSelector to TypeStyleSelector.
