how to show accelerator underscore line --> &btn_name?

[Rich]

I typed &myBtn to display the underscore line on the first letter of <u>M</u>
of myBtn. I can invoke &myBtn by pressing alt-m on the keyboard. But the
underscore is not showing up. Is there a form property I need to set? How
can I make the underscore line show up?

Thanks,
Rich

There is an OS option to prevent the underlines being shown until the
alt key is pressed.

Try holding down the alt key. Does the underline show?
If it does, then look at

Display properties, Appearance, Effects

for the 'Hide underlined keys...' option.

Yes. Thanks. When I press the alt key, the underline shows up. Where is
the Display properties located? I looked under Tools/Options - not finding
it.

- go to Desktop.
- right-click it and choose 'Properties'.
- go to 'effects' guide and choose 'Hides the navigator indicators (...)'

(obs: my OS is in another language, so the captions can be a bit different)

I figured out your suggestions. Thanks again for your help. Now I can see
the accelerator underline.
