Hi all...

Currently I'm planning to develop an application for database modeling, in my spare time. I plan it'd be similar to FabForce's DBDesigner 4 (http://www.fabforce.net/dbdesigner), though it has nothing to do with the FabForce's. Yes, I'll reinvent the wheel, but I have good reasons for it.

Current development status is I've finish the class for table model which is derived from TCustomListBox with custom paint method. And now I'm starting to develop the relation model. The first idea came to my mind was create a new class contains 3 TBevel(s) which are combined to build a relation model. After few hours of coding, I found this idea is too complicated (I've to synchronize 3 objects) so I plan to solve it another way.

Here I need some suggestions... which is the best component I should derive from to make the relation model? I've been thinking about TPaintBox but I think it too big and too complex for just a relation model component. I want it able to paint fast and requires less memory.

Any suggestions? TIA.
