Lanes and Groups in FlowLayout

Hi

I'm working on a lane based diagram. The lanes represent the processes in an organisation, and the nodes are individual items of work within that process.

Some lanes represent sub-processes of the process above but some do not. For the non-connected processes I would like the FlowLayout to left align all subgroups that are not connected (via links) to one another, rather than having each one stepped in from the previous one. Is this possible?

Rereading the above I'm not sure it's very easily understood! You can see what I mean if you run the ProcessLayout example and then delete the link from the 'Client credit OK?' node to the 'Process task' node. In htis case the 'Process task' node will move to the right of the 'send invoice' node, which I assume happens because 'send invoice' is the end of the subgroup above the 'Process task' subgroup - am I right on this?

What I would like to happen is for the Process task subgroup to move all the way to the left in its lane (i.e. vertically below 'Accept task').

I am currently using:
flowLayoutRules.PreferredRules = PreferredRules.NodeRules
would I be better using link rules?

Thanks

Tom

Hi,

It's not possible at this time. According to our developer it should require only a few lines of code, and she'll try to implement it together with the bug-fix for the hanging problem.

Brilliant , many thanks Stoyo - this is our biggest obstacle to using the control at present.
