MindFusion has released a new version of Diagramming for ActiveX programming component. Below is a list of the new features:
Multiple labels per arrow
You can use the ArrowLabels class to show multiple captions at a single Arrow object. The appearance and format of the labels are fully customizable – use the Text, Font, TextColor, EnableWrap, MaxWidth, Margin properties to specify how your caption looks. There are various properties for setting the position of the label – RelativeTo, Index, HorizontalAlign, VerticalAlign, HorizontalOffset, VerticalOffset. The RelativeTo property lets you bind labels to a specific control point or segment specified by Index, or to a percent of the arrow’s Length.
Labels at diagram links.
In-place editting of arrow’s text
The new AllowInplaceEdit property allows users to edit an arrow’s caption interactively – they just need to double click an Arrow object or an ArrowLabel. Programmatically, the arrow’s caption can be edited by calling the BeginInplaceEdit(label) method with null/nothing as an argument.

You can now use the new set of predefined node shapes – RightTriangle, Decagon, Trapezoid, Star4Pointed, Star5Pointed, Star6Pointed, Star7Pointed, Star16Pointed, Star24Pointed, Star32Pointed, Donut and Plaque.
