ControlHosts layout and Collision detection (Read 1849 times)

	Hi, I'd like to be able to define a set of ControlHost (and other objects) and lay them out against an underlying table or matrix of cells. The underlying table will contain fixed width columns but variable height rows. Each of the ControlHost objects will be one row high and one or more columns wide. I'd like to be able to have the drag and drop functionality snap to cells within the table. Is this possible given that the cells can be of varying heights? Failing this is there a way of simulating this behaviour using the available commands and objects? Finally is there a way of getting all the objects that a ControlHost is overlapping, rather than just calling the Intersects method for a particular object? Cheers, Tom

	Hello, FlowChart.NET does not have any methods that could help you align items to variable-sized cells under the items. Still it should be easy to implement the alingment logic yourself, and when an itemCreated ot itemModified event is raised, just call your method to align the item. There isn't any method that returns all object overlapped by another object. Use 'for each' loop and call Intersects to find all overlapping items. That won't work faster if we implement it as a FlowChart.NET method. Stoyan
