Is there a way to absolutely prevent an object from being deleted from a flow chart? 

I have some code on the key down event on the flow chart and this is stopping the event.  However, after the event is prevented if a user tries to multi-select nodes in a flowchart the object isn't selectable. 

Ironically enough this is the effect I hope to achieve. I want to prevent specific nodes from being multi-selectable on a flowchart but still want to allow a group of items from being deleted from a flowchart possible. 

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

_nodes is a collection object I use to management of the information back to the DB and _delete is a flag used on the deleting event.

	  While (fcMain.Selection.Objects.Count > 0)
		Try
		    Dim _o As Object = fcMain.Selection.Objects(0)
		    If _o.GetType.Name = "Box" Then
			  'attempt to delete the item from the collection
			  _nodes.Remove(fcMain.Selection.Objects.Item(0))
		    End If
		    _delete = True
		    fcMain.DeleteObject(fcMain.Selection.Objects(0))
		Catch ex As Exception
		    _delete = False
		    fcMain.Selection.Objects.Remove(fcMain.Selection.Objects(0))
		End Try
end while
 

Already doing that.  That is what the _delete variable is handling.

after the e.confirm value has been set to _delete the event continues or aborts

If the event aborts the object then becomes unselectable.
