dotnet windows forms:
I create a MainMenu and set its text to &Admin. In VB6 this means
Alt-A would execute the menu. It does execute the menu but when the
form is first displayed, the "A" in Admin is not underlined. It does
show up underlined after I use Alt-A once.

Why is this? How do I get it to display with the underline initially?

TIA,

It sounds like an option needs to be toggled within the operating system.
See if the information at the link below helps.

Thanks, that was the problem. Why did they add that esoteric setup to
WinXP? Makes no sense to me. If an app as the navigation control, why
would someone want to not display it but still have it operational??
