in reply to getting at the text of an icon

If I understand what you're asking, you're wanting to do a symbolic reference. See this thread for why this is a bad idea.

Update: See wog's post below for more complete information. It's far more complete.

Again, this isn't a good idea.

If things get any worse, I'll have to ask you to stop helping me.
