WinNumericEditor 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.

The WinNumericEditor™ 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.

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

  • Misc — Provides various options that will enhance the overall look or performance of the control.
