Remarks

The HeaderText property defines the text caption that is displayed for the header area on the Wizard control.

To control the style of the header area, use the HeaderStyle property. Alternatively, you can define your own custom UI for the header row by setting the HeaderTemplate property instead of the HeaderText property.

Note

If both the HeaderText and HeaderTemplate properties are defined, the HeaderText property has no effect.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
