Remarks

This property returns the formatted value as it is displayed in the control as a string. For example, if the value is displayed with formatting characters such as a thousands separator or dollar sign, the value of the Text property includes these characters and symbols.

Note: For the controls derived from the SuperEditBase class, to return a value without formatting characters, use the Value property.

Specify the orientation of text by setting the TextOrientation property, as applicable. Specify whether text can wrap onto multiple lines by setting the TextWrap property, as applicable.
