Description Alexander Nyßen CLA 2016-02-24 02:44:56 EST 
We should add support to change the routing of connections within the MVC logo example via a property (through the property sheet view).

We need to ensure that when changing the router of a connection, the computation strategy of its start and end-anchors is adjusted (if needed).
Comment 1 Matthias Wienand CLA 2016-03-18 05:37:28 EDT 
I added an "isSegmentBased" property to FXGeometricCurve and established the property sheet integration (FXCurvePropertySource). Alexander renamed the property to "routingStyle" and created an enum for the possible values: orthogonal or straight. The FXGeometricCurvePart sets the connection's router and interpolator depending on its "routingStyle" and adjusts the computation strategy for its start and end anchors accordingly. However, when changing the property, the control points of the curve need to be reset, which is currently not performed within an operation, and hence, is not undoable. I will resolve this ticket as fixed as soon as the property change is undoable.
Comment 2 Alexander Nyßen CLA 2016-03-21 11:39:01 EDT 
Added a specific root property sheet entry in MvcLogoExampleView, which chains a clear waypoints operation in case the routing style is changed.

Resolving as fixed in 4.0.0 M6.
