Ok, I see.

In next version we will add DrawTextNoPrefix property of TabPaintManager.

Thank you for suggestion.

I agree.  We can't do it manually since we can't display the shortcut key combo.  Realistically we shouldn't have to implement this manually anyway since most Tab controls support this functionality automatically.

When I was evaluating the control I didn't test this as I assumed it would be there.

It would be really great if this feature could be added...

If we have to manually implement the shorcut key combination, how will the user know which shortcut key to use when selecting a tab?  Without the ability to underline a character in the tab display (as is the Windows convention), the user will typically not know the key combination.

Could you consider implementing the ability to place an ampersand in the caption that indicates the shortcut character so that the programmer can provide hints about which shortcut key to press?

You must add method manually:

In properties window set KeyPreview = True and

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

If (KeyCode = Asc("M")) And ((Shift And vbAltMask) > 0) Then
    TabControl(4).Selected = True
End If

...

End Sub

Hi,

I see no way of assigning a shortcut key to a tab control item.  The obvious way of doing it by setting the caption to "&Contacts" does not work as the ampersand is displayed.

Is this a bug?  If so please fix it ASAP.  If not please put it in ASAP!

Thanks

Jonathan
