	I am trying to figure out how to tell the type hosted control in a node when a user selects the node (Diagram1_NodeSelected event... Basically what we have is a designer where the user can draw a form with textboxes, labels, etc. I need to be able to detect the type of control they selected so I can show certain properties to them to change (ie: text, color, font size, etc)... we do not want to display every property as many of our users will get confused with every property available... Thanks for any information!

	Cast the Node event argument to ControlNode and use its Control property, e.g. Code if (e.Node is ControlNode) { ControlNode node = (ControlNode)e.Node; if (node.Control is Button) { Button button = (Button)node.Control; // now show the button properties ... } } I hope that helps, Stoyan

	I am sorry for having a "blond moment" but having trouble figuring this one out. It is saying that ControlNode is a type and cannot be used as an expression....... Imports MindFusion Imports MindFusion.Diagramming Imports MindFusion.Diagramming.WinForms Private Sub Diagram1_NodeSelected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MindFusion.Diagramming.NodeEventArgs) Handles Diagram1.NodeSelected If (e.Node Is MindFusion.Diagramming.WinForms.ControlNode) Then End If End Sub

	Should look like this in VB: Code If TypeOf e.Node Is ControlNode Then Dim node As ControlNode = DirectCast(e.Node, ControlNode) If TypeOf node.Control Is Button Then Dim button As Button = DirectCast(node.Control, Button) ' now show the button properties ... End If End If You might take a look at the FormEditor sample project, since it is very close to what you are doing. I hope that helps, Stoyan
