Hallo,

simple question: When I load a previously saved diagram, is the BoxCreated event raised while drawing?

Best regards,

Alex

Hmm, seems like.

I do the following:

        public DrawArea(String name, Project p, String fileName)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.project = p;
            this.processName = name;
            this.fileName = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal).ToString() + "\\FPEditor\\" + processName + ".fpp";
            this.TabText = name;
            this.flowChart.BoxCreated += new BoxEvent(flowChart_BoxCreated);
            this.flowChart.BoxClicked += new BoxMouseEvent(flowChart_BoxClicked);
            if (File.Exists(this.fileName))
            {
                this.flowChart.LoadFromFile(this.fileName);
            }
        }


        void flowChart_BoxCreated(object sender, BoxEventArgs e)
        {
             MessageBox.Show("Box created");
        }
 

Problem is, the object is displayed, but no event is raised.

The BoxCreated Event works even when the file is loaded (I drag the Boxes from a ShapeListBox).

The Debugger tells me, that when I click this loaded object, it is still a Box (so a BoxCreated Event should have been raised, right?).

So with my code the following works:
drag an object from ShapeListBox to Flowchart ==> BoxEvent raised;
save the diagram;
close application;
open application;
load diagram ==> BoxEvent not raised;
drag another object from ShapeListBox to Flowchart ==> BoxEvent raised;

Any further ideas?

Exactly, that's what I kind of hoped

OK, no big deal, I just wanted to know if I can use the same functions for user created and automaticly created objects, because I need to store meta information.
Just a quick question then. I'm still kind of new to the whole .NET stuff. Is it possible to store whole object information in .TAG property of a box ( let's say a class Product). Is all the information of the "Product" stored as well, if I call FlowChart.SaveToFile(String name)?

So is it possible to retrieve this information after loading it from file back into my application?
