Weird! - Keyboard shortcuts disappear 1

[SteveShanks]

Hi All

Noticed something strange when running my app on different machines. On some machines, either on the menu system or on a form, all the keyboard shortcut indicator underlines are missing from the captions.

They toggle on/off whenever <ALT> is pressed. On other machines they are always present.

Am I missing something abovious here?

Thanks
Steve

Is it right that this is possibly something to do with versions of Internet Explorer and nothing to do with my app?

Cheers

I think it's an option on Windows XP. No idea where the setting is though.

It us under control panel, accessibility options. Tick the show extra keyboard help in programs option under the keyboard tab.

Just a thought but is there anyway to over ride this annoying feature automatically within VB.NET so that the shortcuts always appear in the application, regardless of the XP setting?

Thanks
Steve
