Hi,

I would like to create my own Reverse Engineerng module using this control. I would like to have ability to create the tables and create the relations from the Database.

Has anybody done something like this. ? I need where do i start ? and How do I create the relations between tables using VB.

I will be using VB6.

Rahul

Hi,

The DBDesign sample project has an "Import" command that imports the schema of a database. That function is incomplete - it imports only the tables, but not the relations. I believe the .NET 2 DataSet object will let you import relations too.

Create a relation between Flowchart.NET tables by calling the

fc.CreateArrow(Table, int, Table, int)

overload of the CreateArrow method or

fc.Add(new Arrow(Table, int, Table, int))

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Sorry, I did not notice this question was about FlowChartX/ActiveX. Only the FlowChart.NET DBDesign example shows how to import a DB schema, using ADO.NET. Anyway that's probably done in a similar way with the classic ADO, so you could check the sample installed with our .NET control:

https://mindfusion.eu/FCNetDemo.zip

With FlowChartX you can create relations between tables using the CreateRelation method.
