Accessibility guidelines

Color contrast

Screen reader support

  • AccessibleLabel must be set for important graphics.

  • If the graphic is for decoration or provides redundant information, leave AccessibleLabel empty or set it to the empty string "" . Screen readers will ignore these graphics.

For example, you might place an Image of a padlock next to a Label that says This form cannot be modified. You don't need an AccessibleLabel for the image because the Label already explains its meaning.

Important

When TabIndex is zero or greater, the Image becomes a button. Its appearance doesn't change, but screen readers will treat it as a button. They will not ignore the control, even if AccessibleLabel is empty.

Keyboard support

  • TabIndex must be zero or greater, if the graphic is used as a button. Keyboard users can then navigate to it.

  • Focus indicators must be clearly visible, if the graphic is used as a button. Use FocusedBorderColor and FocusedBorderThickness to achieve this result.
