WinPrintPreviewThumbnail 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 WinPrintPreviewThumbnail™ Smart Tag contains the name of the control, as well as the following sections:

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

  • Data — Refers to any underlying data the control is using such as data sources and data members.

  • Layout — Offers properties that will determine where and how the control is placed on the form.

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.
