RE: Labelling icons

Hi Fred,
The short answer is no. Someone would need to put the icon in a label control.

Subject: Labelling icons

Hi,

    Just wondering if there is a way to associate text with an icon in a 
windows app similar to the way you would use an alt tag for an image on a web 
page?  I know you can label graphics using JAWS, but that is not what I am 
asking.  I guess what I am asking is is there some kind of text property that 
can be added to a graphic that JAWS can detect and speak automatically without 
using JAWS itself to label the graphic?  I don't need to know how to do it, I 
just want to know if it is possible.

Thanks,

Fred
