Remarks

The DesignerActionTextItem class represents individual static text items in a smart tag panel. Individual items are associated together to form a panel by returning the group from a call to the GetSortedActionItems method.

Most commonly, a static text item is used to create an informative label in a panel. Clicking on a static text item causes no action. The derived type DesignerActionHeaderItem is typically used to create labels to separate categories.
