Remarks

Use the SkipLinkText property to specify the alternate text for a hidden image read by screen readers to provide the ability to skip the list of links. The text that you specify provides assistive technology devices with a description of the hidden skip link image that can be used to make the control more accessible.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.

The Menu 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, and 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 menu. The SkipLinkText property is set to the empty string by default.
