Draw Magic has been designed so you can create flowcharts, data-flow diagrams, process control charts and organizational charts with an exceptional ease.

Hi Dan,
The Create Instance option doesn't seem to appear with the Beta 3.Any idea...

Cheers

John Stallo from the Class Designer sent me this email about the previous question on mouse support. Class Designer will support the following:

1. Zoom in/out: Ctrl + mouse-wheel.
2. Scroll up/down: Mouse-wheel.
3. Scroll left/right: Shift + Mouse-wheel

Thanks,
-Dan

I find the ClassDiagram View a bit hard to navigate. Typical navigation controls, like middle mouse button pressed for pan and mouse wheel for zoom help a lot when navigating graphical views. Have I missed something and this is possible already?

Hey Chris,

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but I forwarded this to the VB team and they said that Object Test Bench would be available in Visual Basic. As far as refactoring goes, Visual Basic will include support for the Rename refactoring but won't include all of the refactoring features that C# will. You can read more about VB support for refactoring at: http://www.panopticoncentral.net/archive/2004/11/02/1934.aspx

Thanks,
-Dan

You mentioned this as a feature of Visual Studio--I've heard rumors that this feature is a C# only feature. I've also heard rumors that the refactoring tool will only be availabe in C#. Can you clarify that?

Thanks

Hi Dan,
Great post! A couple of things.

You can indeed drag and drop a namespace on the class diagram and visualize all the types in that namespace. In fact, in Beta2, we have really improved our auto layout algorithm that you will get a nicely laid out diagram for all the types in the namespace. Please see my blog entry (http://blogs.msdn.com/r.ramesh/archive/2005/01/18/355658.aspx).

With regard to referencing types from assemblies, if you have a field or a property whose type is, say string, you can right click on the property and select the Show as Association command and that will display the String class in the diagram. Similarly if your class derives from System.Windows.Forms.Form, then you can invoke the Show Base Class command to view that class.

Cheers,
Ramesh.
