	How can I change the color of the gridlines in a Swimlane layout? I'm new to this so a code sample would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tom

	Try this: Code Style s = diagram.LaneGrid[null, null].Style; s.LeftBorderPen = s.TopBorderPen = s.RightBorderPen = s.BottomBorderPen = new Pen(Color.Red); I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi, Thanks for this. This works fine in c#. I'm working in another language with imperfect support of the CLR. One of the limitations is that it can't access a property with more than one index. Now it was easy for me to write a quick C# dll to work around this but I would like to know if there's an alternative that does not require me to use a dual indexed property? Thanks, Tom

	Hi, There is no other way to access it using the public API. You could use .NET reflection instead if your language allows it: Code Type headerType = typeof(MindFusion.Diagramming.Lanes.Header); Type gridType = typeof(MindFusion.Diagramming.Lanes.Grid); PropertyInfo cellProperty = gridType.GetProperty( "Item", new Type [] { headerType, headerType }); ICell cellRange = (ICell)cellProperty.GetValue( diagram.LaneGrid, new object[] { null, null }); Style s = cellRange.Style; s.LeftBorderPen = s.TopBorderPen = s.RightBorderPen = s.BottomBorderPen = new Pen(Color.Red); I hope that helps, Stoyan
