(sorry...but this might be a noob question)

Is it possible to create a box, modify it's properties, then add it to the flowchart?

The only way that I see to create a box is to use the flowchart's CreateBox method which seems to create a box then selects the box within the flowchart before allowing it's properties to be modified.

This is a problem for me though, because I'm using the Flowchart's BoxSelected event to trigger code that reads the VariantTag property of the box.

If the box is added to the flowchart (and therefore triggering the BoxSelected event), I don't have a chance to set the VariantTag property beforehand.

I still want the box (once added to flowchart) to be selected...so somehow disabling the flowchart's auto-select when new box created (or however this works) wouldn't be an option.

I guess I'm asking if something like this is possible:

dim oBox as new box
oBox.top = 100
oBox.bottom = 100
oBox.VariantTag = "foobar"
...
oFlowchart.Add(oBox)

Any help would be appreciated.  thx

  This will work.  Thanks for the quick reply!
