ShapeNodes in Lane cells?

Can anyone tell me if a shape node can be put inside of a Lane cell? If so - how (example would be nice)?

C#
Flowchart.NET V5.2

Hi,

You cannot put a node inside a cell, but you can position the node so that it appears to be in the cell. In order to do so, obtain the bounds of the cell of interest (by using one of the Grid.GetCellBounds overloads) and set the received rectangle as a bounds of the node.

If you allow size changes of the lane headers, you have to perform the necessary synchronization when the headers are resized, to ensure that the box sticks within its cell.

Regards,
Meppy

Thanks - I was afraid of that.

The effect I'm trying to get would be like the sequence sample program with the top-most nodes fixed. If the user moved the vertical scroll bar any nodes below the top-most nodes would appear to move beneath these top-most nodes.

This effect actually happens in the Lane Grid when the "HookHeaders" is set true - all cells below will appear to scroll (float) under the top headers.

So the next question is - can such effect be achieved with a node diagram? Is this what the Z-order would do? Any example of this effect with nodes?
