Looking at the sample InteractiveTable it seems as if there is no real way for a table cell to host a control, but rather you have to fake it by moving a control to the coordinates that are within the cell, is that correct?

That seems a bit hackish to me and since I have a fairly complex number of controls to put in my node, each with its own event handling and input filtering, I am thinking it would be better to probably create my own user control and then add it to a diagram using a ControlNode.

Is that the preferred way to do it? However if I do this how can I create rounded borders for the control node, sort of like the TableNode.Style = TableStyle.RoundedRectangle; ??

Additionally, can I still add AnchorPoints to a ControlNode?

Thanks for the feedback. What would you consider to be a large number of controls? I would imagine at most 100, but not all in view at once. Also they are very simple controls with native sub-controls, such as dropdowns and text fields, so I imagine the overhead should be quite small and it should render quite fast.
