Stop ampersand from turning into mnemonics / accelerators for binding Windows Forms

Question

Possible duplicate:
Type "&" Character in Text Shortcut in Windows Forms?

On the screen with label controls related to user-filled properties, I get underlined characters (mnemonics) on the label, because the underlying data contains ampersands.

For example, if the related property contains “A & B Trucking”, then “AB Trucking” is displayed on the label with an underlined B. Alt-B on the keyboard will focus this label.

How do you prevent this with related controls?

Answer 1

You can prevent this by either doubled on ampersands (& & will display correctly as &), or you can set the UseMnemonic property of the label to false, which is probably the best solution in your case

Answer 2

Depending on the situation, you can either set UseMnemonic to false on the corresponding control (for example, with data binding) OR a double ampersand (and thus avoiding it). For passage see this .

Answer 3

Set the UseMnemonic label UseMnemonic to false .

Answer 4

Instead, you can use A&&B Trucking .
