Frequently Asked Questions |
| Q: |
What does the ampersand symbol mean in a string like 'B&utton'? |
| A: |
The ampersand means the character following it will be underlined and is used to activate control with the Alt key. For example: Alt+U. When you translate these words, put '&' before the letter that you think is the most convenient for the user to use to activate the control. |
