Hi there,

Can anyone suggest the best set of settings for the flow chart and form such that I can have a flow chart of size, say, 2000 by 2000 and my form have simple scroll bars at side and bottom?

I cant seem to get the combination of settings correct - I can get the form (an MDI parent, with the flow control on the MDI parent form (seems to work fine)) and I seem to be able to scroll around the flow chart using the scroll bars of the form, but, I find that I cant 'draw' a box in some areas (get the round no entry mouse icon) and other areas I can draw a box... Can anyone suggest the best method?

Basically, I want a big 'canvas' (the flow chart control) upon which users draw - they can scroll around to use the full size of the canvas, and the overview control will allow them to window in quickly on area, but so far strange things are happening!

Just downloaded today, but very impressed - a bit overwhelmed though at the moment with huge breadth of this component suite - very impressive indeed.

Mark.

Stoyan,

Aha! Many thanks! It makes sense now! My next question was going to be "Why can't I draw on some areas of the document?", but now I understand!

I am using the FlowChart document in it's default form, as it satisfies my needs nicely.

Do you have any idea how I can add a context menu to a box after it has been drawn on the document? I looked in the BoxCreated event, and then looked at e.Box properties, but there is no property to hold a context menu.

Basically, in my app, the boxes represent procedures, the title of the procedure will be displayed on the box, and when clicked or double clicked, a code window will open allowing code associated with that procedure (we would call them subroutines but this particular micro-controller manufactuer calls them procedures) to be entered.

I would like a simple context to open when a box is right clicked, allowing the type of the box to be changed - one style could represent a procedure (subroutine), one style a function (returns a value) and another a task (runs on a different thread), for example... Any help greatly appreciated.

If you feel this should be posted as a seperate thread, please feel free to edit as appropriate.

Many thanks once again for your reply.

Regards

Yep, that's how the FlowChart.NET sample projects display context menus, so I guess that's the 'official' method
