public:
 virtual property System::String ^ Text { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };

public virtual string Text { get; set; }

member this.Text : string with get, set

Public Overridable Property Text As String

Property Value

A string containing the text label for a verb. The default is an empty string ("").

Examples

The following code example shows how to override the Text property in a derived class inheriting from WebPartVerb. This source code shows only the portion of the code for the custom zone and the WebPartVerb class that overrides the property. The rest of the code required to run the example can be found in the Example section of the WebPartVerb class overview.

After you load the page in a browser, note that the value assigned to the Text property in the source code appears in the verbs menu of the WebPart control.

Remarks

This property sets the text of the label for a WebPartVerb object; it is what represents the verb to users in the UI.

If developers (optionally) assign a value to the ImageUrl property, an image or icon represents the verb in the UI, and in certain cases (such as when the verb is normally rendered by a button or hyperlink) the image appears instead of the text label.
