HI all,

I am looking for a way to manipulate the text dewcorator of a specific shape instance (not shape type) at runtime. For exemple, I would like to give the focus to a text decorator when the parent shape is added to the designer. Or, change the text color depending on the state of the element associated with the shape.

Is it possible??

You cannot manipulate a specific instance of the text decorator. They're mapped for each parent shape type. However, it is possible to override colors in the StyleSet for an instance of a shape. On the shape, you can override InitializeInstanceStyleSet to override the pen used for drawing the text. And, you can update that pen depending on state in the parent shape.

Hi Pedro,

Thank you for your help.

I would also like to know if it is possible to give the focus to a text decorator when the parent shape is added to the designer.
