Access keys and menus
I'm having a little bit of a problem with the menu that I added to my form. I didn't create it in code(just double clicked it to add it to the form) and have set the menu item names directly in the menu that's in the form in the IDE. I have set the access keys in the text properties(ex. .Text = "&File") but when I run the app, the access keys in the menu items are NOT underlined like one would expect. They only underline when I hit the 'Alt' key. Is there something that needs to be set in order for the access keys to appear on the menu items when the form is running?
IDE form:
File Edit View
Running form(until ALT key is pressed):
File Edit View
Thanks

Thanks for the response,
I kind of thought it was a "feature" but is there a way in code to turn it on for the application? I noticed that the menu on my browser(IE6) has this feature as well as the system windows, I'm running WinXP by the way, but it's not active in the .Net IDE. Meaning that in the .Net IDE the access keys are underlined. The same goes for the VS6 IDE. There has to be some way of activating it in code for an application.
