Two Line Headers in Custom Nodes

[tracecatParticipant]

Is there a way to add additional information to a custom node that is not a FlowOutput or FlowInput? I have seen that this kind of information is often included in the node name with ‘[]’ but this can lead unnecessary wide nodes. I tried to fix this by adding a second line in the header with an explicit ‘n’. However, the node ui does not display this correctly…

Hello,

There are 2 ways to specify the name of the node. The first one like you found out, is to use the [Name] attribute, but if you need the node name to include some extra information, you can override the property “virtual public string name{get;}” and return whatever you want it to show 🙂
Regarding the UI vs the title number of lines, currently the node graphic is made to show 1 line, but I will take a look to make it more “dynamic”.

Let me know if you need any further help.
Thanks

Hi Gavalakis and thanks for your reply!

I know it is more a “nice to have” feature but a dynamic second line will certainly improve the visual appearance of flow charts. Beside that, I want you to know that you really did a good job with this asset. Though it took me a little effort to create some custom nodes and to link it to my existing serialization framework i really like working with it.

Thanks! I really appreciate that and I am really glad you like the tool 🙂
I will take a look a the multi-line UI and see it included in the next version.

Thanks again 🙂
