Text Property (ElementControl)

Gets or sets the contents of the control as a string matching exactly what is displayed.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property Text As String

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ElementControl
Dim value As String
 
instance.Text = value
 
value = instance.Text

public override string Text {get; set;}

Property Value

String containing the text

Remarks

The Text property returns the value as it is displayed in the control as a string. For example, if the value is displayed with formatting characters such as a thousands separator or dollar sign, the value of the Text property includes these characters and symbols.

Note: For the controls derived from the SuperEditBase class, to return a value without formatting characters, use the Value property.

Specify the orientation of text by setting the TextOrientation property, as applicable. Specify whether text can wrap onto multiple lines by setting the TextWrap property, as applicable.
