# Key Features

## Content



**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).
