Command buttons on flowchart objects?

Our app uses a flowchart like this:
http://www.voiceguide.com/images/wndGsdAhService1.gif
each flowchart object has command button on it - and when clicked extra info about that object is listed. Can we use your product to replicate this?
Each object can alos have it’s title and text description edited - is this possible with your product as well?

You might want to add a GoButton object to your composed object.
Then you could get the click-event by using
GoButton.OnSingleClick();
Should be no problem I guess.

Even the text-editor should be possible.
Use something like this to override the default-behaviour:

public override GoControl CreateEditor(GoView view) {
GoControl editor = new GoControl();
editor.ControlType = typeof(RichTextBoxControl);
// make somewhat bigger, for a border
RectangleF rect = this.Bounds;
rect.X -= 2;
rect.Y -= 2;
rect.Width += 4 + SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth*view.DocScale;
rect.Height += 4;
editor.Bounds = rect;
return editor;
}

public override GoControl Editor {
get { return myEditor; }
}

Maybe walter wants to correct me. :-)

It isn’t clear how many ports there are supposed to be, and whether the connection points must remain fixed.
The easiest thing to do is to use a GoBoxNode with a very thin Margin and whose Body is a GoGroup that you create. You’ll need to Add various objects to the GoGroup, with the desired sizes and positions, including a GoButton in the top-right corner.
Do you really want the scroll bars? It would be easiest to use a GoText object whose AutoResizes property is false. You can set the GoText.StringTrimming property appropriately too.
If you really want a rich text control, I suggest you use the example code in Demo1.
