Remarks

The visible title text in a part control's title bar is set by the Title property. The title text also appears as part of the ToolTip text when you position your mouse pointer over the title bar of a WebPart control or other server control that appears in a WebPartZone zone.

The style of the title text is determined by the PartTitleStyle property of the zone that contains the part control.

If you do not supply a title for a control, the Web Parts control set automatically calculates a default string to use as a title. For more information, see DisplayTitle. Also, it is possible to provide a standard subtitle that is appended to the title string. For details, see Subtitle.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.

Notes to Inheritors

Derived classes such as WebPart can override Title to enable user personalization of the title.
