AddFlow ActiveX Control

AddFlow is an ActiveX control that lets you quickly build flowchart-enabled applications.

AddFlow ActiveX Control it is useful for creating diagrams without presentation , building flowcharts and more.

Features such as distinct colors, fonts, shapes, styles, pictures, text, and so on for each object of the diagram (node or link) are available. Nodes stay connected when moved. Metafiles support, serialization, multi-level undo/redo, printing, zooming, Bezier and spline curves, reflexive links, link jumps, gradient colors, link autorouting, custome shapes, multiselection, scrolling, user data association, navigation in the graph. Runtime distribution is royalty free. AddFlow allows building a graph:

- either interactively (you can create a full diagram without any programmation)
- either programmaticaly (because it offers a set of OLE automation objects, properties and methods allowing for instance to create a node at a given position).

Main features of AddFlow ActiveX Control:


General

Runtime-royalty free

Digitally signed

Interactive and programmatic drawings

Navigation (You can access every nodes and links of a diagram with just 5 properties).

Collections support (nodes, links, selected nodes, selected links)

Customization: many properties allowing to customize the control (CanDrawNode, CanMoveNode, ReadOnly, etc...)

Graph autolayout algorithms via the LayoutFlow extensions

Input/output

Metafiles support (WMF, EMF)

Serialization of diagrams (LoadFile, SaveFile methods)

Clipboard management

Printing and print previewing

XML support

Interactivity

Scrolling (interactive and programmatic)

Autoscrolling

Selection and Multiselection of nodes and links(interactive and programmatic).

Nodes stay connected when moved or resized.

Multilevel Undo/Redo feature

Link autorouting

Display facilities

Back picture

Zooming

Grid support (ShowGrid, SnapToGrid, GridColor, GridStyle, xGrid, yGrid properties)

OwnerDraw events

Data

Ability to associate a text, a unique key, a tooltip, a tag and a variant to a node or a link

Nodes and links

Change painting order of objects (ZOrderIndex property)

Distinct colors for each object (FillColor, ForeColor, DrawColor, GradientColor)

Distinct fonts for each object

Distinct drawing styles (DrawStyle property)

Hidden objects

Node and link runtime property pages

Links

Stretchable links. A link can be composed of many segments.

Curved links (Bezier curves and spline curves)

Rigid links. If a link is rigid, it follows (without being stretched) its origin node when this origin node is being dragged.

Reflexive links

Links having only vertical and horizontal segments

Ability to adjust the position of the first and last point of a link

20 arrow styles for links

Jumps displayed at the intersection of links

Rounded corners for polyline links

Nodes

Ability to associate a picture (bitmap, standard or enhanced metafile, icon, GIF, JPEG) to a node

46 distinct shapes for nodes

Transparent nodes

Text alignment

Autosize options for nodes

Shadows

Standard "in place editing"

Gradient color


What's New in This Release:

Custom shapes

Custom drawing with OwnerDraw events

Link autorouting

Gradient color for nodes

Rounded corners for polyline links

JumpSize and RoundCornerSize properties allowing selecting the size of the link jumps and link rounded corners.

CanChangeOrg and CanChangeDst properties

UndoNode, RedoNode, UndoLink, RedoLink properties

BeforeChangeOrg and BeforeChangeDst events
