WinActivityIndicator Smart Tag

Beginning with 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 WinActivityIndicator™ Smart Tag contains the name of the control, as well as the following section:

  • 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.

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.
