BUG: Access Key Works When UseMnemonic is Set to False

ID: Q215415


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual Basic 6.0, version 1.0


SYMPTOMS

When the UseMnemonic property of a Label is set to False, the interface of the Label control displays any ampersand (&) appearing in the text of the Caption property as an ampersand. The character following the ampersand should not act as an access key.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.


MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Start a new Windows CE HPC Project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.


  2. In the Project Properties dialog box, select Handheld PC (Default Device) as the target.


  3. Place two label controls and two command buttons on Form1.


  4. Make sure that the following properties are set at design time:


  5. Control Property Value
    Label1 TabIndex 0
    Label1 Caption "&F"
    Label1 UseMnemonic False
    Command1 TabIndex 1
    Label2 TabIndex 2
    Label2 Caption "&T"
    Command2 TabIndex 3

  6. Run the project.


  7. Press the ALT+T key combination and note that Command2 gets the focus. Click the ALT+F keys and note that Command1 gets the focus. Because Label1 has its UseMnemonic property set to False, you do not expect that clicking the ALT+F keys would have an affect on the application.
