strText

String specifying the caption for the Edit button in a CommandField.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Use the EditText property to specify or determine the caption to display for the Edit button in a CommandField control.

NOTE: This property applies only when the ButtonType property of a CommandField is set to Button or Link.

As an alternative to displaying text for an Edit button, you can display an image by first setting the ButtonType property to Image and then setting the EditImageUrl property.

The following example demonstrates how to set the EditText property to display a custom caption for the Edit button in a DetailsView control.
