NavBarGroup.Text Property

Gets or sets the group’s caption (the text content of the group’s header).

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v19.1.dll

Declaration

[DefaultValue("Group")]
public string Text { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Default Description
String "Group"

A string value that specifies the group’s caption text.

Remarks

Use the Text property to specify the group’s caption text which is displayed within the group’s header. The position of the text within the group’s header is specified by the AppearanceStyleBase.HorizontalAlign and AppearanceStyleBase.VerticalAlign properties available via the group’s NavBarGroup.HeaderStyle property.

If the NavBarGroup.NavigateUrl property of a group is assigned, the caption text set by the Text property servers as a link. It’s underlined and a click on it navigates the application to the location specified by the NavBarGroup.NavigateUrl property.
