Auto Start
When auto start is enabled, the control will initiate an update process automatically. By setting the AutoStart property to false, the control will not initiate an update check automatically. When disabled, clicking on the control will initiate an update check, and the StartUpdateCheck method can also be used to programmatically initiate an update check.
Auto Hide (UpdateDisplay)
When the Auto Hide option is enabled, the control will perform the update check and download. When completed, if the user does not interact with the control, its visibility will fade to invisible after the designated period of time (in seconds). To enable, set the AutoHideDelaySeconds property to a non-zero value. The default value is 0.
Recheck Delay
The control can be configured to repeat an update check after a period of time by setting the RecheckDelayMinutes to a non-zero value. The default value is 0. For rechecks to occur, the control must also be configured to Auto Start.
