If I create a MainMenu control on a form, and include short cut keys:
(i.e. &File , E&xit )
and run the app, the shortcut functionality Alt-F-X opens the menus and
works, but in the default state of the running form, the underscores (in my
example under the letter "F" in "File" and "x" in "Exit") are NOT visible by
default.
After hitting Alt-F, you THEN see the appropriate underscores.... but it
seems to imply that you need to know, ahead of time, what the top level
short cut strategy is.....
Thus, a user will not see the shortcut strategy on the top level of the menu
visible with the form.
What am I overlooking ?
Thank you in advance for any input.

tab click Effects button and on the resulting dialog, uncheck 'Hide
underlined letters for keyboard...' and click OK.

I am working with a DB with custom menus. I am trying to get the

Office 2007 & thus Access has had it's menus replaced with the Ribbon
Bar. It's very disconcerting. In Word, Excel, Access, I feel totally
lost. Also all the shortcut Menu pulldowns don't work anymore ...
eg
Alt F-S to save a file
Alt F-U for Page Setup in Word/Excel
etc. etc.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
