[Gambas-user] Re: Underscores in Control Titles

[A Person]

Good Day . . .

Two ampersands do not work. I tried everything possible over a couple of 
months. The KDE ampersand function has a higher priority than Gambas so 
it overrides any Gambas choices. (my guess).

I had limited success with graphics. Special characters such as '<' and 
'<<' do not generate ampersands in KDE 3.4.2 although they did in an 
earlier version or maybe it is the newer Gambas. I tried spaces before 
and after. I tried quotation marks. I tried using raised labels instead 
of buttons. I tried . . .

I could not find a way around the 'feature' other than removing the 
earlier mentioned component. This is not really a problem unless you 
want to use a KDE control such as DatePicker.

This has cancelled one of my projects. I was writing a Bingo program 
that had 150 buttons. It is totally ridiculous to have the underscore 
show up randomly across the form.

I want to try REALbasic when it evolves into a workable environment just 
to get around this problem (and none graphical indexed controls).

Hope this helps.
