By default, the C1HeaderedContentControl's header is empty. You can add text to the HeaderedContentControl's header by setting the Header property to a string in Visual Studio, in XAML, or in code.

At Design Time

To set the Header property in Visual Studio, complete the following steps:

Click C1HeaderedContentControl once to select it.
Under the Properties tab, set the Header property to a string (for example, "Hello World").

In XAML

To set the Header property in XAML, add Header="Hello World" to the <c1:C1HeaderedContentControl> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

<c1:C1HeaderedContentControl Header="Hello World" Width="150" Height="55">

In Code

To set the Header property in code, complete the following steps:

Add x:Name="C1HeaderedContentControl_Ct" to the <c1:C1HeaderedContentControl> tag so that the control will have a unique identifier for you to call in code.
