I need to create a .NET WinForm program similar to the FlowCharter sample. I downloaded trial version 5.3.3 of FlowChart .NET and ran the VB and C# 3.5 samples but it did not seem to work. I assume the user is supposed to click a shape in the 'Nodes' list box then drag the mouse over the diagram to render it. But the program only displays a blue rectangle with a 'No' sign at the lower right corner when I try that.

I subsquently noticed the DiagramView's Behavior property was set to DrawLinks. When I changed that to LinkShapes, I could draw a shape, but only a rounded rectangle. Should clicking a shape in the list box not change the default to that shape? Am I missing something here? I would like to think the demo app works right 'out-of-the-box' and I am just not doing something right.

Ah! DRAG directly from the Nodes list. That works-- and I'm an idiot. I was clicking a shape to 'select' it then trying to drag it out on the diagram.
