Persistent MainMenu Mnemonic

[MiloCold]

Hi Everyone!

So here's the issue I'm having, I have added a MainMenu compinent to my form and gave it a proper mnemonic (text = &Testing Item). This allows the "T" to be underlined when a user hits the alt key. Swell...

In most professional apps I see the underlined letters are shown with out me even touching the alt key. How th monkey do they do that!?! I can't figure it out.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

M. Cold

There is a OS setting for this in Control Panel, Display, Appearance tab, Effects. Something like "hide mnemonics until Alt is pressed".

I guess those other apps you mention don't use plain text mnemonics, but perhaps draw the text as a graphics string (owner draw) and thus able to custom format menus all as they please?

Indeed it is "Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key"
