    Adding Text to the Header
    In This Topic

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

    At Design Time in Blend

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

    1. Click the C1Expander control once to select it.
    2. 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 <c1ext:C1Expander> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

    XAML
    Copy Code
    <c1ext:C1Expander Header="Hello World" Width="150" Height="55">
    

     

    In Code

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

    1. Add x:Name="C1Expander1" to the <c1ext:C1Expander> tag so that the control will have a unique identifier for you to call in code. 
    2. Enter Code view and add the following code beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

    Visual Basic
    Copy Code
    C1Expander1.Header = "Hello World"
    

     

    1. Run the program.
