FLEXIBLE APPEARANCE
===================
Unlike standard Panel, NicePanel has wide spectrum of style settings which give NicePanel the ability to be used in many different application types.

You can choose from three panel shapes - squared, rounded or chamfered. NicePanel can have header and footer in three different sizes and NicePanel look can be freshen by Clip Art pictures or images from file.

CAPTIONING
==========
One of the goals is to make data entry forms easier to develop. NicePanel can add captions to any control within, you no longer need to create and manipulate set of labels and align them with your controls. NicePanel is also able to show a description text in the footer section for a control that receives focus.

Captions and descriptions are set using the Tag property of the concrete control, which is an easy task to do using the NicePanel Tag Editor.

ITEM BINDING
============
With item binding you can manipulate controls in NicePanelu by their names which are the same as your data fields in database. For example SetItemText("Company"). There are SetItemText, SetItemEnabled, SetItemVisible, FocusItem and FlashItem functions for you to use. Function GetItem("Company") will return all controls associated with the Company field.

Item binding makes work with data easier as well. Single line of code fills controls' Text with data from the DataRow, the same goes for the reverse process of obtaining the typed data from controls to the DataRow columns. This is easier than standard databinding and you have full control of your data and controls. Also you do not need to use memory consuming datasets.
