Remarks
  • This property is equivalent to ..Caption applied to the Image controls, Clickable Image controls, Captcha controls, Thumbnail controls, Bar Code controls and Chart controls.
  • The alternative text of an image ("alt" attribute in HTML) indicates the text displayed by the browser when the image is not available. This text is also used instead of the image for the accessibility of pages.
  • The alternative text can also be defined in the editor in the description window of the control. For example:
    • in the "Help" tab for Image or Bar Code controls,
    • in the "Details" tab for Captcha or Thumbnail controls,
    • in the "GUI" tab for Chart controls.
    For example:
    • in the "Help" tab for Image, Bar Code, and Thumbnail controls,
    • in the "Details" tab for Captcha controls,
    • in the "GUI" tab for Chart controls.
