[Gambas-user] spooky ampersand from button.Text

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

The "&" defines the shortcut letter. Maybe it's set by default in qt5. 
If you need to get rid of it, why not just replace it by nothing:

Label1.Text = Replace(Button0.Text, "&", "")

This will kill any "&" at any place within the string, if any :)

Regards
Rolf
