Description

How to prevent a RadDiagramShape to connect to itself when you single click on one of its connector points.

Solution

To prevent this use one of the following two solutions:

Solution #1

Set the ReflexiveRouter of RadDiagram to null.

• C#

this.diagram.RoutingService.ReflexiveRouter = null; 

Solution #2

Handle the ConnectionManipulationCompleted event of RadDiagram, if the connection source is the same as the Shape of the event arguments.

• C#

private void RadDiagram_ConnectionManipulationCompleted(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Diagrams.ManipulationRoutedEventArgs e) 
{ 
    if (e.Connection.Source == e.Shape) 
    {            
        e.Handled = true; 
    } 
}
