Property Value

A string that briefly summarizes the part control's functionality. The default value is an empty string ("").

The Description property is typically a string that is used in catalogs that provide lists of part controls, and as a ToolTip in the part control's title bar. The content of the Description property appears in a ToolTip when you position your mouse pointer over the title text in a part control's title bar. The ToolTip text is created from the value of the DisplayTitle property, followed by a hyphen, followed by the Description property value.

For a code example that uses this property, see the base Description property.
