# Design-Time Support

## Content



**Windows 7 Control Pack for WinForms** provides visual editing to make it easier to create a Windows 7 application. The following sections describe how to use **Windows 7 Control Pack for WinForms'** design-time environment to configure the **Windows 7 Control Pack for WinForms** controls:

### Smart Tags and Tasks Menus

You can invoke each control's tasks menu by clicking on the smart tag (![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/88084ada-ce7b-4ec0-9f66-d851989d7cf2/imagesext/image14_1.png)) in the upper-right corner of the control. A smart tag represents a short-cut tasks menu that provides the most commonly used properties in each control. For more information on how to use the tasks menu for each control in **Windows 7 Control Pack for WinForms**, see [C1TaskDialog Tasks Menu](/componentone/docs/win/online-winpack/designtimesupport/windows7controlpackf3/c1taskdialogtasksmen) and [C1TaskbarButton Tasks Menu](/componentone/docs/win/online-winpack/designtimesupport/windows7controlpackf3/c1taskbarbuttontasks).

### Properties Window

You can also easily configure **Windows 7 Control Pack for WinForms** at design time using the Properties window in Visual Studio. You can access the Properties window by right-clicking the control and selecting **Properties**.
