More on Hotkeys

[LandPro]

I have a C# WinForm application (.net 2.0).
I use the '&' character for Hotkey access on various buttons.
With the <Display Properties / Effects / Hide Keyboard Navigation Indicators> unchecked, the Hotkeys display just fine.

The problem is that I have text containing the '&' character displayed in some controls on different forms. That text now displays with underlines instead of the '&' character (example: B&B displays as BB with the second B underlined).

Is there a way to programatically turn off the '&' hotkey behavior?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I *think* maybe a "\&" will work?
When you use the & in menus/buttons it makes the following character be the shortcut key (like you said)

I am pretty sure that you can either do && or \& to get around it

Thanks Plater. It's a bit complicated by the fact that I'm using DataBinding to link the Text property of the Label control to a DataColumn. I'm not sure how to "pre-process" the data coming from the column to replace any "&" characters with "\&". I had already tried your suggested replacement in both the Paint and Validating events for the Label, but neither worked. Maybe I need to use something other than a Label control.
