	In the demo program there's a really smart panel in the left column that displays all of the properties for the object that you've clicked on in the main window. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what I'm missing is some way of knowing exactly what the object is. So maybe instead of the header "Selected Object Properties" it should say "Selected object is xxxxx". Or am I missing something obvious?

	Hi, It should be easy to see what item is selected in the diagram canvas on the right. If there are no items selected, the property grid displays the properties of the Diagram object. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly enough. What I mean is I'd like to know what the .Net object type is, for example is it a MindFusion.Diagramming.CompositeNode or a MindFusion.Diagramming.ContainerNode or a MindFusion.Diagramming.ShapeNode, that thing I've selected in the diagram?

	Hi, Set the following in the MainForm.UpdateSelectedObject method to see the type: _selectedPropsLabel.Text = _diagram.ActiveItem.GetType().ToString(); I hope that helps, Stoyan
