Remarks

The AbbreviatedText property is rendered as the abbr attribute of the HTML th element. The abbr attribute is used by screen readers to read a shortened version of a header for each cell in the table. The AbbreviatedText property is significant for browsers that render abbreviated text in place of the content for the TableHeaderCell control.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
