Examples

The following code example demonstrates the declarative use of the MenuLabelText property on a WebPartZone control. For the full code example, including the code-behind source file and the .aspx page that contains the zone in this code, see the WebPartZoneBase class overview.

Notice that the MenuLabelText property has a value assigned to it in the declarative markup. This value impacts WebPartZone2. After you load the page into a browser, switch the page into edit mode, and notice that the text for the verbs menu label in WebPartZone2 is the value assigned to it in the declarative markup.

<asp:WebPartZone 
  ID="WebPartZone2"
  Runat="server" 
  DragHighlightColor="#00ff00"
  AllowLayoutChange="true"
  EmptyZoneText="Add WebParts to this empty Zone."
  BorderWidth="2"
  BorderColor="DarkBlue"
  BorderStyle="Dashed" 
  MenuLabelText="Verbs Menu" 
  MenuPopupImageUrl="label.gif" >
  <VerbStyle Font-Italic="true" />
  <MenuLabelStyle BackColor="Lime" BorderWidth="1"  />
  <MenuLabelHoverStyle Font-Bold="true" />
  <MenuVerbHoverStyle BackColor="LightGrey" />
  <MenuVerbStyle Font-Italic="true" /> 
  <ZoneTemplate>

  </ZoneTemplate>
</asp:WebPartZone>

<asp:WebPartZone

  </ZoneTemplate>
</asp:WebPartZone>

Remarks

If the MenuLabelText property is assigned a value, the label appears alongside an image that represents the verbs drop-down menu in the title bar of each WebPart control in a zone. If no value is assigned to the property, only the image appears on the menu.

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.
