Mouse Gestures

K2 Designer for Visual Studio 2012 - Mouse Gestures

Mouse gestures speed up the design process when building a process. When working in the K2 Designer for Visual Studio, a user can draw certain letters on the design canvas while holding down the right mouse button and the designer will place certain controls on the canvas relevant to the letter that was drawn.

For example, drawing an A on the screen will insert an activity onto the process design canvas. Also, once an activity is on the screen you can draw on the activity object itself to specify event types for that particular activity. For example, if you draw an M on the activity it will add the mail event to the Activity.

Below is a list of commonly used mouse gestures:
