Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property Text As String
public string Text {get; set;}

Property Value

A string representing the content of the dialog.

Example
Examples to build toolbar buttons with custom dialogs and process their events.

'--------------------
' Note: custom buttons with all their properties can be created within aspx.
' That would reduce size of hidden viewstate field and improve persistance of properties.
' To generate toolbar items at visual design,- the editor for Toolbar property can be used.
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
		If (Me.IsPostBack) Then
			Return

		' Add a button with custom dialog which is defined in aspx.
		Dim myDialogButton As ToolbarDialogButton = New ToolbarDialogButton()
		myDialogButton.Key = "MyDialogButtonKey"

		Dim dialog As HtmlBoxDialog = myDialogButton.Dialog
		dialog.Caption = "This is my dialog"
		'-------------------

		dialog.DialogContentID = "MyDialogID"
		dialog.Key = "MyDialogKey"
		dialog.TitlebarBackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange
		dialog.TitlebarFontSize = FontUnit.Point(12)
		Me.WebHtmlEditor1.Toolbar.Items.Add(myDialogButton)

		'-------------------
		' Add a button with custom dialog which is defined by the Dialog.Text property.
		Dim myDialogButton2 As ToolbarDialogButton = New ToolbarDialogButton()
		myDialogButton2.Key = "MyDialogButton2Key"
		myDialogButton2.Type = ToolbarDialogButtonType.Custom
		Dim dialog2 As HtmlBoxDialog = myDialogButton2.Dialog

To connect DialogContentID with content of dialog (html elements in aspx), an application should process
<ClientSideEvents Initialize="WebHtmlEditor1_Initialize" /> event.
Codes below should appear within the HEAD section of HTML.

	myDialogWasConnected = true;
