The C1TreeView control includes a smart tag in Visual Studio. A smart tag represents a short-cut tasks menu that provides the most commonly used properties in C1TreeView.
The C1TreeView control provides quick and easy access to the TreeView Designer Form and common properties through its smart tag.
To access the C1TreeView Tasks menu, click on the smart tag in the upper-right corner of the C1TreeView control. This will open the C1TreeView Tasks menu.
The C1TreeView Tasks menu operates as follows:
Clicking on the Choose Data Source item opens a drop-down list where you can choose an existing data source or select a new data source to bind to.
Clicking on the Edit TreeView item opens the TreeView Designer Form where you can quickly configure C1TreeView's elements without having to scroll through its Properties window. Here you can add, remove, and re-order C1TreeViewNodes as well as set a variety of properties defining their appearance, behavior, and more.
