public object Caption { get; set; }#Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Object | A string value that specifies the layout item's caption. |
#Remarks
By default, the Caption is displayed in the BaseLayoutItem's header and the same object is shown within a tab when the BaseLayoutItem is in a tabbed state. You can set a different tab caption using the BaseLayoutItem.TabCaption property. The following figure illustrates a panel with different Caption and BaseLayoutItem.TabCaption property values.
Generally, you set the Caption as a string value. If you assign any other object to item's caption, you may need a DataTemplate object to visualize it. Use the BaseLayoutItem.CaptionTemplate property in this case.
