WinControlContainerEditor Smart Tag

In Visual Studio 2005/2008 (.NET Framework 2.0/3.5), 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 WinControlContainerEditor™ Smart Tag contains the name of the component, as well as the following items:

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

  • Behavior - Provides easy access to properties that govern how the control behaves on the form.
