	Hi, I'm trying to do something and before I waste lot of time on it, I'd like to be sure it is doable. I currently have diagrams with DiagramNodes that are shaped, colored, labeled differently and I would like to add extra information outside (but attached to, if possible) of the node itself. These "labels" would be located near the external upper right corner of the node with different text color and a transparent bacgkground. I think the attache picture is gonna make it easier to understand. So my questions are: 1. Is it possible to do such a thing? 2. How? Thank's a lot. Eric

	Hi, You could display the extra information using additional ShapeNode attached to the main node. E.g. set the label node's Transparent property to true to hide its geometry and display only text, set Locked = true to prevent users from selecting and modifying it, and call attachTo method to group label with main node. Another way to implement this is via custom node class that overrides draw and getRepaintRect methods to respectively draw the additional text and include its boundaries in area repainted when nodes are modified. I hope that helps, Stoyan
