Hi,

Does anyone know of a control that can display (and ideally allow
users to manipulate) a graph structure (similar to a tree structure,
but where a node can have more than one parent)?

This would be most useful!
Thanks,
Mark.

<--- how would you even display that? Will the node appear twice under each
parent?

That's what I was hoping a decent control could help me with ;)

Yeah, it could potentially copy the shared node sub-tree, or if it was
really clever, it could attempt to arrange the nodes so as to display the
links without replication.

My initial investigations seem to prove the theory that there are a lot of
controls out there, but very few that do exactly what you want... time to
write me own :) Then maybe I'll sell it and get famous.

Cheers for the reply anyhow,
Mark.
