Syntax
C#
public class Visual : NotifyPropertyChangedBase, IDisposable, 
	ISerializableValue

The Visual type exposes the following members.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyAllConnectors
Gets all connectors.
Public propertyAllowWaitOnMove
When true, allows scripting to wait for the OnMoved event. This is false by default to avoid performance degradation for visuals that move frequently. <p> Example scripting: <pre> sender.AllowWaitOnMove = true; Wait( sender.OnMoved ); </pre>
