.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / June 2007Control hotkey on inherited form
VB2005. I built a class inherited from Windows.Forms.Form and placed a Button on the form. The button.Text contains "&Quit". I create another class that inherits from the first class. In the IDE designer I see the button and its caption is Quit with the Q underlined, as I expect. When I run the second class, the button displays with a caption of Quit with no underline. However the hotkey does work - Alt-Q does cause the button to click. Why is the caption not shown with the underline? Depends on version of Windows you run and settings. Press Alt and see if underscore appears > VB2005. I built a class inherited from Windows.Forms.Form and placed > a Button on the form. The button.Text contains "&Quit".

I was not aware there was such a setting in Windows, apparently all of the previous machines I have used had the option set to always show the underscore. >Depends on version of Windows you run and settings.

Have you by any chance looked to see if ANY other application running on that machine happens to display the accelerators by default? If not, then this is a system-wide setting that you can control via the Display applet.
