How to set compartment's default expanded property to false?

Question

The compartmet's are expanded by default when the shape is added to the diagram? How can I set the default behaviour to collapsed?

Thanks.

Hi,
The workaround says FindCompartment returns NULL when called from OnInitialize().

I want my shape to be expanded but the compartments to be collapsed by default.

Is it possible?

You can collapse just the compartments within a Compartment shape on its creation with the following code customization:

namespace CompanyName.ProjectName.Language27.Designer {  #region Using directives  using System;  using System.Collections.Generic;  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling;  using System.Diagnostics;  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Utilities;  using System.Drawing;  using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams;  #endregion  public partial class ClassShape  {      public override void EnsureCompartments()   {    base.EnsureCompartments();    foreach (Compartment comp in this.NestedChildShapes)    {     comp.IsExpanded = false;    }   }  } }

Update: I've put this on my blog as an entry, because other folks may find it useful. And, I explain it a little more too.
