Displaying '&' character instead of an underscore

Hi,
When you use an ampersand (&) symbol in a string, VB converts it to an underscore (_). How can I prevent it. I need to display an ampersand in a lable control.

Thanks

Code:

---

MsgBox "this does look like an ampersand huh?  " & Chr(38) & "  yep, it is! :)"

---

Jop your code doesn't show tha ampresand in a Label
Use This

Code:

---

Label1.Caption = "this does look like an ampersand huh?  &&  yep, it is! "

---

Two ampresands will show one

&& will put an ampresand
label1.caption = "hello&&bye"

Hey you're right guys :) hehe dumb to only test it with a msgbox

Just set the label's UseMnemonic property to False.

Label1.CAption = "This is a right answer &&"

Label1.Caption = "This is a 10 year old thread"

Perhaps you could at least punctuate the caption correctly. :sick:

This post actually helped me realize when using DrawText API I need to include DT_NOPREFIX flag or "&" are shown as "_" too.

Until everyone stops coding in VB6 there is no such thing as an old thread. :bigyello:
