MindFusion has just released a new version of its Diagramming component for ActiveX. Here is an overview of the new features:

Resize of multiple nodes

Decision flowchart layout
DecisionLayout arranges simple flowcharts consisting of decision boxes with up to three outgoing links per node and activity boxes with a single outgoing link per node. The nodes are arranged in columns and rows, whose distance depends on the HorizontalPadding and VerticalPadding property values. When links share the same row or column, they are placed at a distance specified via LinkPadding. The layout arranges nodes recursively starting from StartNode. The layout algorithm is available only in the professional edition of the control.
