[gme-users] About Port Location

[Kevin Smyth]

Hi Somesh,

The decorator is responsible for determining where the ports are.

The default decorator has this code:
if ((*ii)->portPart->GetInnerPosition().x <= WIDTH_MODELSIDE ||
(*ii)->portPart->GetInnerPosition().x < lMax / 2)
{
mapPrefs[PREF_LABELLOCATION] = PreferenceVariant(m_bPortLabelInside ?
L_EAST : L_WEST);
m_LeftPorts.push_back((*ii)->portPart);
} else {
mapPrefs[PREF_LABELLOCATION] = PreferenceVariant(m_bPortLabelInside?
L_WEST: L_EAST);
m_RightPorts.push_back((*ii)->portPart);
}

lMax is the maximum x location of the ports. WIDTH_MODELSIDE is 100.



You could also ask the decorator. The basic procedure.
Query your model's registry for "/decorator". If it doesn't exist, use
"MGA.BoxDecorator" (the default decorator)
CoCreateInstance the decorator
Call decorator.Initialize
Call decorator.GetPorts (the decorator may choose to not display all ports)
Call decorator.GetPortLocation for each port

Hope that helps.
Kevin
