Hi,
I am using the createArrow method and I am noticing some slightly odd behavior.

1) When I create an arrow programaticallly with createArrow(Box box, int anchor, Box box2, int anchor2) and I then set the AutoRoute property of the arrow to true the arrow will still go through nodes. If however I use the createArrow(Box box1, Box box2) and set the AutoRoute property to true this arrow will avoid nodes. If I set flowChart.RouteArrows to false then, for some reason arrows created using the createArrow(Box box, int anchor, Box box2, int anchor2) will avoid nodes, but then any user drawn arrows will go through nodes!

2) When creating arrows programatically if there is only one segment to them then an arrow head does not appear on the end.

3) When creating arrows directly from one box to another where a straight horizontal line could be drawn the arrow created has a very slight kink in it like:
   -----------
   |                                                          |
--                                                                          -->

Any idea how I might straighten out this behaviour?
Thanks for any help.

Rich.

I've tried that with the Decision1In3Out anchors value, seems to work fine. Do you use any of the predefined anchor patterns or your own one ? And what are the values of the flowchart ArrowStyle and ArrowSegment properties ?

This code will cause an index-out-of range exceptions to be thrown at some point if routing is enabled:

// Now set the control points to those we want
currentLink.ControlPoints.Clear();
currentLink.ControlPoints.Add(mStartPoint);
currentLink.ControlPoints.Add(new PointF(mStartPoint.X, mEndPoint.Y));
currentLink.ControlPoints.Add(mEndPoint);

It will only work if arrow.SegmentCount == 2 but routed arrows change the number of their segment dynamically. Better do a loop over all points in the collection and set their coordinates instead of leaving just 3 points there, because the flowchart might look for more points in the collection depending on the SegmentCount value.
