Property Value

Type	Description
String	Always returns Empty.

Remarks

Use this property to set text for the visual brick. This property is used when exporting this brick in a text format (except formats for that the TextExportMode property is set to Value).

You can use the VisualBrick.TextValue property to set the brick’s original value. You can also apply a format to the TextValue property’s value and assign the result to the Text property.

Set the VisualBrick.TextValueFormatString property to format the TextValue property’s value when:

• exporting this brick to formats that the TextExportMode property is set to Value;
• the brick’s edit mode is enabled (the document contains the editing field associated with this visual brick).
