Quick Design Context menu option missing
posted

Maybe I am going crazy, but I have been reading about presets and using the quick design editor on Infragistics controls.  I can't find the "Quick Design" option anywhere in VS 2010.  Was there something I should have installed separately?  I have the ASP.NET components installed and version 2011.2 of Infragistics.

    Hello jstarbet,

    The "Quick Design" option is not added to Visual Studio itself.  Rather, it is available through the "Smart Tag" of some ASP.NET controls.  I have attached a screenshot of the Gauge's smart tag, as an example control.  You can also choose a preset through the Smart Tag.

    Let me know if you have further questions.

      Below is a snippet from your documentation:

       

      Every visible NetAdvantage ASP.NET element has the ability to have a Preset applied to it. Presets give you a fast, simple way to apply a range of formatting and behavior options across the elements of your interface, and across applications. It is ideal for corporate development environments that need to maintain a consistent look-and-feel among many different developers.

       

      I don't see it on any of the elements that I have checked  (e.g. webdatagrid, maskeditor, numericeditor, monthview, etc.)  What am I missing?

        Hello jstarbet,

        The WebMonthView has both the "Quick Design" link and the "Choose a Preset" option in its smart tag.  I have attached a screenshot of this.

        The WebNumericEditor, WebMaskEditor, and WebDataGrid allow you to choose a StyleSetName from the properties window.  You can import stylesets, or use one of the styles provided with AppStylist.  You can set this from the designer by right-clicking on the control, choosing "Properties", and clicking on the dropdown next to "StyleSetName".

        The newer controls, like WebDataGrid, use "stylesets" instead of "presets".  I will send this feedback on to the Product Guidance team so that the documentation can be updated.

        Let me know if you have further questions.
