WinCalendarLook Smart Tag

In Visual Studio 2005 (.NET Framework 2.0), each Ultimate UI for Windows Forms control/component is equipped with a Smart Tag. By simply selecting the control/component, a Smart Tag anchor appears. When you click this anchor, a pop-up panel appears, providing you with quick and easy access to the most common properties and settings of the control/component.

The WinCalendarLook™ Smart Tag contains the name of the component, as well as the following sections:

  • Appearance — Provides common tasks involving the appearance, look, and feel of the control.

  • Serialization — Provides quick access to properties used in the IPersistComponentSettings interface.

See below for a description of the item (e.g., field, drop-down list, checkbox) in each section, as well as the item’s corresponding property in the properties grid.

Settings Key

You can specify the settings key that will be used to uniquely identify the settings' values that will be loaded/saved. By default, Visual Studio 2005 sets the settings key value based on the name of the containing form/control and the name of the component.
