A flowchart editor with linked objects, based on CDiagramEditor.
/* ==========================================================================
	CFlowchartControlFactory

	Author :		Johan Rosengren, Abstrakt Mekanik AB

	Date :			2004-04-22

	Purpose :		CFlowchartControlFactory is a factory-class with one 
					single member, allowing the creation of CDiagramEntity-
					derived objects from a string.	

	Description :	CreateFromString tries to instantiate one of the control 
					objects by testing the control object static function 
					CreateFromString until it hits a valid one. The 
					resulting pointer is then returned and can be added to 
					the application data.

	Usage :			Call CFlowchartControlFactory::CreateFromString and if 
					a non-NULL pointer is returned, add it to the 
					editor data.
