Hi,

I am having tough time getting two dashed lines, that are drawn on top of one another, appear properly on the diagram. Ideally, the appearance of overlapping dashed lines should still be dashed, but it doesn't seem to happen and sometimes the line may appear as solid or only partially dashed.
Is there a way to work around this?
Thanks

Setting the DashOffset does not seem to have any effect. Do I need to create a new instance of the Pen class and assign it to the Pen property of the Arrow object?

Nope, still no luck.
I am using the version 4.0.2.20026 of the FlowChart control, and .NET runtime v1.1.4322.

The saved xml seems correct, ie:

     <Pen>
       <Color>#FF000000</Color>
       <DashOffset>1</DashOffset>
       <DashStyle>Dash</DashStyle>
       <LineJoint>Miter</LineJoint>
       <MiterLimit>0</MiterLimit>
       <Width>0</Width>
     </Pen>

     <Pen>
       <Color>#FF000000</Color>
       <DashOffset>0.5</DashOffset>
       <DashStyle>Dash</DashStyle>
       <LineJoint>Miter</LineJoint>
       <MiterLimit>0</MiterLimit>
       <Width>0</Width>
     </Pen>

I am using millimeters.

An arrow object. To test the problem, I have created a new solution with a flowchart control, two boxes and an arrow connecting them.

==========
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim b As New MindFusion.FlowChartX.Box(Me.FlowChart1)
b.BoundingRect = New RectangleF(10, 10, 40, 25)
Me.FlowChart1.Add(b)

Dim b1 As New MindFusion.FlowChartX.Box(Me.FlowChart1)
b1.BoundingRect = New RectangleF(10, 50, 40, 25)
Me.FlowChart1.Add(b1)

Dim arrow As MindFusion.FlowChartX.Arrow = Me.FlowChart1.CreateArrow(b, b1)
arrow.Style = MindFusion.FlowChartX.ArrowStyle.Cascading

arrow.PenDashStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dash


End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.FlowChart1.Arrows(0).Pen.DashOffset += 0.5
Me.FlowChart1.Invalidate()
End Sub

=========

Cllicking on the button does not seem to have any effect whatsoever. Am I doing something wrong here?

it does not have an effect on my PC too when the pen width == 0, can you try that with width > 0 ?

It works with values in the (0,1] interval too, however it is a little hard to see the effect with antialiasing enabled.

Still the dash offset does not seem to have any effect when pen.Width is 0. I am afraid the MindFusion.Pen merely wraps the System.Graphics.Pen, so we cannot do much about that.
