Display "&" in Shortcut Bar Item

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm trying to add a docking pane item called something like "Salt & Pepper" using code like this:

Set item = DockingPane.AddItem(1000, "Salt && Pepper", frmContents.hWnd)

The Shortcut Bar item that is added is labelled "Salt & Pepper", which is good. But the Tooltip that pops up (when the shortcut bar is minimised using "Show Fewer Buttons") says "Salt && Pepper", which is wrong.

If I add the item like this:

Set item = DockingPane.AddItem(1000, "Salt & Pepper", frmContents.hWnd)

The Shortcut Bar item that is added is labelled "Salt _Pepper",
which is wrong. However, the Tooltip that pops up (when the shortcut bar is
minimised using "Show Fewer Buttons") says "Salt & Pepper",
which is correct.

How can I get both the Shortcut Bar button label and Tooltip to display "Salt & Pepper"?

Thanks

	Hello, Thanks, Indeed we have to fix it. Please use now Tooltip property to fix it: Set ItemMail = wndShortcutBar.AddItem(1, "Salt && Pepper", frmPaneMail.hWnd) ItemMail.Tooltip = "Salt & Pepper"
