Key Features

Windows 7 Control Pack for WinForms incorporates several key features, including the following:

• Manage Jump Lists

  Jump lists display when you right-click your application's button on the Windows 7 taskbar. They allow quick access to recently used files or frequently used commands within your application. C1TaskbarButton enables you to manage your form's jump list, which can include lists of items or tasks.

• Show Progress Indicators

  With C1TaskbarButton you can easily display progress indicators within your application's taskbar button. Manage the progress value and choose a predefined state: Normal (Green), Error (Red), Paused (Yellow) or Indeterminate (Marquee).

• Manage Thumbnail Buttons

  Add and manage thumbnail buttons in the taskbar button flyout with C1TaskbarButton.

• Display an Overlay Icon

  With C1TaskbarButton you can show an overlay icon on the taskbar button. Use this feature to show status updates to the user even when the application is minimized.

• Windows 7 and Vista-style Dialogs

  Create and customize task dialogs without much effort. The C1TaskDialog component works like the common Windows dialogs (such as OpenFileDialog). You can set a few properties and then simply call the Show() method to display the dialog at run-time.

• Customize Dialog Buttons

  With C1TaskDialog you can completely customize the buttons on the dialog by just setting a few properties. Add custom buttons, radio buttons, check boxes, hyperlinks, expandable footer areas, a progress bar and more.

• .NET 2.0 Support

  Windows 7 Control Pack for WinForms can be used in .NET 2.0 and higher targeting applications. The client must have Windows 7 OS in order to see the features of C1TaskbarButton (Vista is the minimum requirement for C1TaskDialog). Clients who do not meet the requirement will simply not see the feature (no crash or exception).
