    Question Menu Shortcut Problem

    I’m trying to add shortcuts to my menu like &File should display File with underscore under “F”. When I run the program I can’t see the underscore but I have the functionality Alt+F will activate the File menu. Any body now how to fix this.



    Thank you.

    Thank you.
    I dont know if you really can fix that or not... if you press the alt key once then the underscores appear, but if not they dont. I think it's just the way the .NET menu works...

    umm.
    it shows the underscore for me.

    are you sure you used &File? because one time i thought i used the & but didn't see it in my menu, but alt + f worked. i looked back and saw that i didn't have & with F, so i added the &, which fixed the problem with the _ not showing.

    hmm maybe it has to do with windows and visual styles then. Right now my internet explorer doesnt show any of the shortcut underlines either, but when I hold alt, they appear. I think you could change this somewhere in the windows registry if I remember correctly, hmm..

    Hi.

    In Win XP and Win 2000 you can select wehter to show it all the time or only when alt is pressed.

    Right-click the desktop
    Select "Properties"
    Select "Appearance"
    Select "Effects"

    The last option should be what you're looking for.

    Sorry if the captions I mentioned are wrong; My XP is Danish, so I just guessed what they would be in english.
    But it should be sufficient.

    If that's not it, then I give up...
    I wish I could think of something witty to put in my sig...

    ...Currently using VS2013...
