Mnemonic/Accelerator Character in Button Text? -- dotnet compact framework

Yes there is:
myLoginButton.Text = "&Login";

works perfectly fine with me. The only problem is you can press ALT+L until
the cows go home. It won't work. I had to implement myself a KeyDown even to
handle it.

Cheers,

Maybe I should have mentionned that I have CF SP3. I never tried it with
SP2. But the mnemonic character is "underscored" with SP3 at least.

I haven't done this, but you could use ApplicationEx and an IMessageFilter
from OpenNETCF and catch key combinations like Alt+<whatever> and then,
iterate through the controls on the current form, which you'd also have to
keep track of, and find the one that should be activated.
