Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
A quick way for a user of your DSL to create several elements is to repeatedly double-click a toolbox item. For example, in a DSL created using the Task Flow solution template, you can place several swimlanes on the diagram by repeatedly double-clicking the swimlane tool.
Normally, double-clicking a tool creates a new item as a child of the selected element. For example, if you select a component and double-click the Input Port tool, a new port is created on the selected component. When the operation ends, the new item is selected. This presents a difficulty: if the user now double-clicks the Output Port tool, nothing should happen, because an Output Port cannot have an Input Port as its parent. However, if ShouldTryParentShapeForMergeOnToolboxDoubleClick returns true, a new port will be added to the parent component instead.
This property defaults to true, but you can override its definition in your shape class.
