TreeView.SkipLinkText Property
System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace TreeView Class
.NET Framework version 2.0
Sets or retrieves a value that is used to render alternate text for screen readers to skip the content for the control.
Syntax
| Inline | <asp:treeview skiplinktext = strText ... > |
|---|---|
| Script | TreeView.SkipLinkText = strText |
Property Value
| strText | String that the TreeView renders as alternate text with an invisible image, as a hint to screen readers. |
The property is read/write with no default value.
Remarks
Use the SkipLinkText property to specify or determine the alternate text that the TreeView renders with an invisible image, as a hint to screen readers.
The SkipLinkText property is a property that a page developer can set to make a Web page more or less accessible. Web pages that contain content that repeats can provide for a mechanism for users of screen readers to skip the content from being read aloud.
The TreeView control provides the SkipLinkText property as a way for the entire control to be skipped by screen readers. If the SkipLinkText property is set, an invisible image with alternate text is rendered, giving the user the option to jump to the end of the control. Screen readers read the alternate text aloud, while the image occupies only one pixel space. For pixel-precise control over the rendering of the page, set the SkipLinkText property to an empty string ( "" ) and provide your own mechanism to skip the tree.
The SkipLinkText property is set to the empty string by default, which makes screen readers not skip the control.
