C1Chart Smart Tag

In Visual Studio 2005, the C1Chart component includes a smart tag. A smart tag represents a short-cut tasks menu that provides the most commonly used properties in each component/command.

The C1Chart component provides quick and easy access to the Chart Wizard editor, Visual Effects designer, and common properties through its smart tag.

To access the C1Chart Tasks menu, click on the smart tag () in the upper-right corner of the C1Chart control. This will open the C1Chart Tasks menu.

The C1Chart Tasks menu operates as follows:
