Thanks Jim.  BTW, I tried to visit a couple of the accessibility web addresses 
listed at the bottom of your message, but IE reported that the pages were not 
found.  Are the addresses no longer valid?

Thanks,

Fred

Hi Fred,

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

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
