Shapes of the library can be assigned to boxes by setting their style to bsLibShape and calling the SetShape method. Default shape is be set by calling SetDefLibShape. The guid returned by this method identifies the library to various FlowChartX methods and properties, so it is a good idea to keep a reference to it.
