...am looking for suggestions on using some of the great features in FlowChart.Net

I create nodes on a diagram that link in a  tree structure and use the expandable property on each branch of the tree. Collapsing and Expanding work fine. On each node I have two attached nodes, which are used to contain label information. One attached node sits on the top of the linked node and the other attached node sits on the on bottom of the linked node....looks good....

Now when I click on collapse/expand button associated with a linked node it hides all the linked children nodes....except their attached label nodes.... is there a property/method that can be utilised to include these attached nodes to hide/appear when their parent linked node is collapsed/expanded?

Thank you for the prompt response. I have not used groups anywhere in my little exercise. The two label nodes are attached to a node using attachto. Should I be considering setting up a unique Group to assign each Node and two label nodes against?

Fantastic worked a treat....except in my example I have a node (e.g. Xnode) with with three branch nodes linked from it; each with two attached label nodes. The Xnode also has two label nodes attached. When I expand/collapse the Xnode the three linked nodes collapse..... also the label nodes attached the Xnode also collapse.

Is there a way to negate the label nodes attached to Xnode from collapsing when Xnode is the initiator of the collapse/expand?

On some occassions the parent of Xnode may trigger the collapse/expand and on that occassion the Xnode and atached labels (and lower linked nodes) should collapse.

Sorry to be a nuisance on this.... am still learning and hopefully other readers will get some value form this exercise.

Once again, thank you for the great service.
I will try your suggestion and close this discussion. At least it gave you some additional development ideas.
