Illuma 0 Posted October 15, 2010 Hi I am having trouble creating button text using the symbol & I had the same problem using " but I managed to get that working by using the ASCII code Char(34). Please look at the attached code to see what I mean, I have tried numerous methods but all with the same result! So I am hoping some guru on here will tell me I am a fool and show me the simple way of doing it! Thanks in advance! #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 419, 197, 192, 124) GUISetBkColor(0x00FFFF) GUISetFont(12, 800, 0, "MS Sans Serif") $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("A", 80, 64, 65, 57, $WS_GROUP) ;Create button with A as button text $Ditto = Chr(34) ;Create button with " as button text $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton($Ditto, 168, 64, 65, 57, $WS_GROUP) $AndSym = Chr(38) ;Create button with & symbol as button text, Can't get this to work? $Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton($AndSym, 264, 64, 65, 57, $WS_GROUP) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melba23 3,455 Posted October 15, 2010 Illuma, Weird though?Not really. & is used to set a particular letter to act as the accelerator key for a button (and menu item) when Alt is pressed. So to actually use it as part of the text, you need to escape it in some fashion. Run this script and press "Alt-P": #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Press P", 10, 10, 80, 30) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $hButton MsgBox(0, "", "You pressed me!")
