To finish this current cycle of development I have added some design time support via smart tags. This makes it a little easier to find the properties relevant to the current mode.

Here is the smart tag showing when using the simplist navigator mode of Panel.

When you switch to another mode the smart tag will update automatically to show the properties relevant to that mode. Here we have used the smart tag to change to the HeaderGroup mode.

I am now switching back to working on the next revison of the Krypton Toolkit. This is because I need to add a few features so that the navigator can use those features to implement the next few modes.

This is what happened recently when I needed the ButtonSpec capabilities in the navigator. That lead to the creation of version 1.1 of the toolkit. This time I need something called the KryptonDivider. This is really just a border that can be placed between control instances. I need this ability in order to create the Outlook style control that I want to add as the next mode.
