I have just upgraded from v3.1.3 to v4.2.  I have some code in the arrowcreated event but it never gets executed. I put a break point on the first line and found it was never hit. I then tried to catch the arrowcreating event and see if that worked. i set a breakpoint in that event and found that once the arrow was created the arrowcreated event was fired, but only if there is a breakpoint in the arrowcreating event. The code used to work in the old version ???

The event handler is definately correct. The handles clause is there and the event registers in the drop down list of events for the flowchart. I know that the event is handled - but only if i have a breakpoint in the arrowcreating event.

It's actually the arrowcreated event that i need to handle; and that never gets fired unless i have a breakpoint in the arrowcreating event. If i just have a breakpoint in the arrowcreated event it never gets hit. But i need to know about the full arrow that the user has made so therefore the creating event is not the one i want to catch. Especially not when it gets fired so many times.

The arrow is not being created at all. I have explicitly set e.confirm to true in the arrowcreating event but the event is still not being fired. All the reasons you specified for an arrow being cancelled are not being met i.e there is no reason for the arrow to be cancelled.

[code]Private Sub fcCase_ArrowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MindFusion.FlowChartX.ArrowEventArgs) Handles fcCase.ArrowCreated
      ...
           e.Arrow.Tag = LinkInfo

       End Sub
[/code]
I have a breakpoint on the first line of this sub - it never gets hit. But, if i have a breakpoint in the arrowcreating event, it will then go on to perform the arrowcreated method. Obviously breakpoints have no effect in deployed projects which will mean that arrows are never created.

I have even tried deleting the method and rewriting it but that still hasn't helped (was a long shot). Theres nothing else i can think of to do.

We've received it, but it still has some tags in it -from a type in the VantageShared assembly. Please set all tags of links, nodes, table cells and anchor points to null, save the diagram and send us the file again.

you mean "If Not fcCase.Behavior = BehaviorType.CreateArrow Then ..." ? 

no way 

I've put a breakpoint in the Behavior property setter and here are the call-stacks when the breakpoint got hit:

This is the call stack when clicking the "Draw links" button, the Behavior is set to DrawArrow:

>FlowChart.NET.dll!MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart.Behavior.set(MindFusion.FlowC
hartX.BehaviorType value = CreateArrow) Line 4823C#
VantageShared.dll!VantageShared.CaseManagement.CaseRendering.ExtendedFlowchart.E
xtendedFlowchart.set_ManipulationMode(VantageShared.CaseManagement.CaseRendering
.ExtendedFlowchart.ExtendedFlowchart.EManipulationMode Value = VantageShared.CaseManagement.CaseRendering.ExtendedFlowchart.ExtendedFlowchart.E
ManipulationMode.Link) Line 65 + 0xf bytesBasic
AlphaLaw-CaseManagement.exe!AlphaLaw_CaseManagement.CaseManagement.uscCaseDefEdi
tor.set_Mode(AlphaLaw_CaseManagement.CaseManagement.uscCaseDefEditor.EditMode Value = AlphaLaw_CaseManagement.CaseManagement.uscCaseDefEditor.EditMode.LinkNodes) Line 563 + 0x1a bytesBasic
AlphaLaw-CaseManagement.exe!AlphaLaw_CaseManagement.CaseManagement.uscCaseDefEdi
tor.tbmEditCase_ToolClick(Object sender = {Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.UltraToolbarsManager}, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolClickEventArgs e = {Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolClickEventArgs}) Line 1153 + 0xe bytesBasic

This is the call stack shown when I release the mouse button while drawing an arrow, the Behavior is set to Modify here:
>FlowChart.NET.dll!MindFusion.FlowChartX.FlowChart.Behavior.set(MindFusion.FlowC
hartX.BehaviorType value = Modify) Line 4823C#
AlphaLaw-CaseManagement.exe!AlphaLaw_CaseManagement.FlowchartScrollHelper.StopSc
roll() Line 80 + 0x15 bytesBasic
AlphaLaw-CaseManagement.exe!AlphaLaw_CaseManagement.FlowchartScrollHelper.flowch
art_Click(Object sender = {VantageShared.CaseManagement.CaseRendering.ExtendedFlowchart.ExtendedFlowchart}
, System.EventArgs e = {System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs}) Line 89 + 0xa bytesBasic
[External Code]

That last assignment to Behavior is done before the flowchart handles the MouseUp event, so it breaks the arrow creation.
