I'm looking for a VCL component for C++ builder. It should preferably have a toolbar with drag & drop functionality.

I want to define a building or area (which might not be rectangular) and split it into "rooms" (or areas, or whatever you want to call them). And I want to be able to put "doorways" (or passages, etc) from a room into its neighbours.

is there such a thing? Preferably free.

Thanks.


In case anyone wants to knwo the answer, I have verified with TMS that teh diagram studio can indeed do this.

Although they said "You can use Diagram Studio for that, it’s not that complicated to create new custom blocks, like L-rooms", so I still need to verify that it can handle triangles & lost parrots (polgygons).

Not that it is specifically built for room designing, but my best guess is that it is the closes you'll get without having to create the components yourself. Anyway TMS have a component pack called Diagram Studio. This allows you to add functionality to your application that somewhat simulates that of Microsoft Visio and other programs.

alt text I don't know if this was truly what you wanted, but even though I haven't tried it myself my guess is that you can create your own room and door like shapes to be placed. It might worth a look. Atleast the feature list has this:
