 Remarks

Specifies how FlowChartX responds to mouse actions. The following values are currently supported:

• bhModify - users can only select existing shapes and arrows, move and modify them. Clicking on empty document area and dragging selects multiple diagram items. The value of the constant is 0.
• bhPanAndModify - users can only select existing shapes and arrows, move and modify them. Clicking on empty document area and dragging scrolls the document. The value of the constant is 6.
• bhCreateBox - users can create only boxes (no arrows or tables). Clicking a diagram element selects it and it can be modified. CTRL + dragging selects multiple objects. The value of the constant is 1.
• bhCreateArrow - dragging the mouse when a box is pointed creates an arrow object. If the mouse does not point to a box, selection is created. Clicking on any object selects it. The value of the constant is 2.
• bhFlowChart - default mode for work with flowcharts. Dragging the mouse over empty document area creates a box, and over a box creates an arrow. Clicking on any object selects it. CTRL + dragging selects multiple objects. The value of the constant is 3.
• bhTableRelations - suitable for creating database schemes and entity-relationship diagrams. Dragging the mouse over empty document area creates a table, and over table's row creates an arrow (represents relationship between table fields). Clicking on any object selects it. CTRL + dragging selects multiple objects. The value of the constant is 4.
• bhCreateTable - users can create only tables (no arrows or boxes). Clicking a diagram item selects it and it can be modified. CTRL + dragging selects multiple objects. The value of the constant is 5.
• bhDoNothing - the control ignores users actions with the mouse, but raises the appropriate mouse events. This mode allows applications to implement their own mouse-drawing behavior, disabling the FlowChartX default response to users actions.
• bhDrawLines - the control creates DecorationLine objects when the user draws with the mouse.
• bhSelectOnly - allow only selection of existing items. Modifying them or drawing new ones is disabled.
