ZOrder & ControlNodes

Hello,

I have a situation where I am attempting to link to a ControlNode.

I have created a ControlNode and applied an anchor pattern to it. I am able to attach a link to the the anchor point of interest on the ControlNode. The anchor point exists in the middle of the ControlNode and the .NET control is a Picture Box.

The issue I am having is I am not able to see the link arrow. I have attempted to use ControlNode.ZBottom() but this does not make the link arrow visible.

Can you suggest a method by which I can make the arrow for a link "ride on top" of the Control Node? How can I make the arrow visible?

Thanks

Hi,

Why not use a ShapeNode and its Image property to display an image, instead of a PictureBox?

Controls hosted in ControlNodes paint themselves in their own windows that cover the DiagramView window, so links cannot be drawn on top of the controls. That is possible in the WPF version of FlowChart.NET, since the WPF graphics model places all UI elements in the same visual tree.
