Have you considered using tables instead of boxes? Each cell of a Table node can have its own text and a picture. If you absolutely have to use boxes, try attaching the icons using auxiliary boxes attached to the main one. I.e. for each icon:

- create a new box using the CreateBox method
- set box.Transparent to true so the border lines are not displayed
- assign the icon image to box.Picture
- set the box BoundingRect to where you need the icon displayed
- call the AttachTo method to make the icon box stick to the main box

I hope this helps

Hi,

It is much better to use custom drawing for that. Set CustomDraw to cdAdditional and handle the DrawBox event to draw the icons:

void flowChart1_DrawBox(...BoxDrawArgs e)
{
  e.Graphics.DrawImage(image1, x1, y1);
  e.Graphics.DrawImage(image2, x2, y2);
  // etc
}

This way you have less items in the diagram to worry about and the diagram files are much smaller because the icons are not saved with each box.

Hello

I solved this problem by creating a base picture and then attach the other pictures in execution time depending in the images that I need to show.

The only thing is that I’m not really sure if the performance con be affected, but it work’s fine for me.

If you want I can bring you my code.

I hope this helps.

Suerte.
