    In This Topic

    Accordion provides design-time support to simplify working with the object model. While the Accordion control includes a smart tag to readily access properties, it also provides a collection editor to quickly add, remove and edit pages.

    Smart Tag

    Accordion provides smart tag icon (WinForms Accordion smart tag) to enhance the design-time usability of the control. You can find the icon at the upper-right corner of the control which when clicked opens a smart tag panel.

    The C1Accordion Tasks panel provides quick access to the Edit Pages option of Accordion. Here, you can edit page properties in the Accordion control by just clicking the Edit Pages menu item of the C1Accordion Tasks panel.

    Accordion Page Collection Editor

    Accordion provides a page collection editor named C1AccordionPage Collection Editor to add, remove or edit pages in a page collection at design-time. The C1AccordionPage Collection Editor can be accessed either using the Edit Pages menu item of the C1Accordion Tasks panel or the Pages property in the Properties window.

    The following image displays the C1AccordionPage Collection Editor.

    The C1AccordionPage Collection Editor comprises two panes: left and right. The left pane contains the Members section to display the added pages in the collection editor. It also contains the Add and Remove buttons, to add and remove pages in the Accordion, respectively. This pane also covers the up and down navigation buttons to navigate across different member pages. The right pane contains the Page properties section to view or edit the properties of each page in Accordion.
