ControlType.LocalizedControlType Property

public:
 property System::String ^ LocalizedControlType { System::String ^ get(); };

public string LocalizedControlType { get; }

member this.LocalizedControlType : string

Public ReadOnly Property LocalizedControlType As String

Property Value

A localized description of the control type, such as "button".

Examples

In the following example, all control types are found by reflection, and their LocalizedControlType properties are output along with other information.
