Is it possible to flip arrow in RadDiagram control? Standard arrow is pointing to left side. I need to have arrow pointing to right side. I can set rotation to 180, but then also text is rotated, see screenshot. How can I solve this?

Hello, Marian,

It is possible to use the default left oriented arrow shape and just flip the text for the hosted DiagramShapeElement which is actually represented by a LightVisualElement
            RadDiagramShape arrowShape = this.radDiagram1.Shapes[0] as RadDiagramShape;
            arrowShape.RotationAngle = 180;
            arrowShape.DiagramShapeElement.FlipText = true;


I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello,

thanks. But is it possible to change it by UI? We don't design diagram programatically, user edits it by UI, also that Settings Pane is telerik system form, we have question from customer, how to do it.

Hello, Marian,

You can edit the shapes at design time via the property builder. However, neither the settings pane, nor the Properties section in the below screenshot gives you access to the contained LightVisualElement (accessed by the DiagramShapeElement property) from where you can flip the text. That is why it is necessary to do it programmatically in the form's constructor for example:

Should you have further questions please let me know.

Ok. Is it possible to customize SettingsPane? I can add flip text button for selected element somewhere to toolstrip, but SettingsPane would be better place, user uses it for editing diagram.

Hi, Marian,

You can access the SettingsPane and add a button in this way:

RadButton myButton = new RadButton() { Text = "Rotate" };
myButton.Click += MyButton_Click;
myButton.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(20, 200);
radDiagram1.DiagramElement.SettingsPane.RadPageViewPageText.Controls.Add(myButton);

I have attached the source code of the settings pane for your reference.
