Adding Text to the Header Bar

By default, the C1Expander control's header bar is empty. You can add text to the control's header bar by setting the Header property to a string in the Properties window, in XAML, or in code.

At Design Time

To set the Header property, complete the following steps:

1.   Click the C1Expander control once to select it.

2.   In the Properties window, 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 <c1ext:C1Expander> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

<c1ext:C1Expander Name="C1Expander" Header="Hello World" Width="150" Height="55">

In Code

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

1.   Enter Code view and add the following code beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

•      Visual Basic

C1Expander1.Header = "Hello World"

•      C#

c1Expander1.Header = "Hello World";

2.   Run the program.
