Normally
keyboard users move the input focus from one control to another
in a view with the Tab and arrow keys. However, you can define a
mnemonic key that allows users to choose the control by pressing
a specific key sequence (Alt +
mnemonic key). To define a mnemonic key for a control with its own
visible caption (push buttons, check boxes, and radio buttons) use
the following procedure.
Procedure
- Select the control and open
the Property sheet.
- In the Text property, type
an ampersand (&) in front of the letter you want as the mnemonic
for that control.
Results
An underline appears in the displayed
caption to indicate the mnemonic key.
