	Hi, I have derived my own DiagramNode class from TableNode, and now I need to be able to save and restore these nodes along with the diagram. I found a thread on this forum discussing the problem and a possible solution, but that's a few years old and refers to an earlier version of the FlowChart: http://mindfusion.eu/Forum/YaBB.pl?board=fcnet_disc;action=display;num=113111092... The solution involved overriding GetClassId() and createObj(int clsid), but GetClassId() does not appear to be overridable, and I can't find createObj() anywhere! :S When I save my diagram to a stream it calls SaveTo(), but does NOT call LoadFrom() when loading, I guess this is because the object that it's creating is a TableNode and NOT my derived class. Is there a modern solution to this problem? Thanks. Brian

	Hi, Use the Diagram.RegisterItemClass method, and override the SaveTo and LoadFrom methods. This is shown in the IconNodes sample project. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Thanks Stoyan, that's just what I needed.
