[DXCategory("Appearance")]
[Browsable(true)]
public override string Text { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
String

A string value representing the button’s caption.

#Remarks

Changing this property’s value at runtime raises the TextChanged event.

The button’s text is not displayed if the button display the image and the SimpleButton.ImageOptions.Location property is set to MiddleCenter.

If the SimpleButton.AllowHtmlDraw property is set to true, you can use HTML tags to format the SimpleButton.Text. For detailed information see HTML Text Formatting.

#Example

The following code creates a SimpleButton at a specific location and subscribes to the button’s Click event. The BaseButton.CalcBestFit method is used to calculate the button size that fits the button’s contents.

SimpleButton - CalcBestFit

using DevExpress.XtraEditors;
// ...
CreateSimpleButton(30, 30);
// ...
private void CreateSimpleButton(int left, int top) {
    SimpleButton simpleButton = new SimpleButton();
    Controls.Add(simpleButton);
    simpleButton.Text = "Show Settings Page";
    simpleButton.ImageOptions.ImageList = imageCollection1;
    simpleButton.ImageOptions.ImageIndex = 0;
    simpleButton.Padding = new Padding(10);
    using(var graphics = simpleButton.CreateGraphics())
        simpleButton.Size = simpleButton.CalcBestFit(graphics);
    simpleButton.Location = new Point(left, top);
    simpleButton.Click += SimpleButton_Click;
}

private void SimpleButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    // ...
}
