Hi,
does a property UseMnemonic exist for a Button control?? I've created a
button with this property:

Button.Text = "&Add new record";
Button.Name = "btnMyButton";

The & should allow a easy access with the keyboards... but it doesn't work:
with Label is easy thanks to the UseMnemonic property, but how about Button
control? Does it exist something similar?

Thanks.

Hi Siu,

Buttons don't have the UseMnemonic property, but they still have the
behaviour you want.

Your button should have a line under A. It should respond to [ALT]+[A]
and trigger a Click event. (Note that you need to attach a click event to
the button or nothing will happen)

Signature

Happy Coding!

Thanks,
I was convinced that I could access the button by touching the key Ctrl+A
instead of Alt+A

Thank you again
