MsgBox(0, "Test", "Hello " & $text & " Goodbye   ")

$Text = "Hello & Goodbye   " 
MsgBox(0, "Test", $text)

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("")

GUICtrlCreateButton( $text, 20, 20)
GUICtrlCreateLabel($text, 20, 50)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hello " & Chr(38) & " Goodbye   ", 20, 80)
GUICtrlCreateLabel('Hello " & " Goodbye   ', 20, 110)

No problem, I use it often is why I know more than likely... I think there was a thread on it about 8 or 9 months ago, and CyberSlug explained why (God help me if I remember why!! )

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Save & Exit", 10, 10, 80, 25, $SS_NOPREFIX)

$SS_NOPREFIX

Prevents interpretation of any ampersand (&) characters in the control’s text as accelerator prefix characters.

An application can combine SS_NOPREFIX with other styles by using the bitwise OR (|) operator. This can be useful when file names or other strings that might contain an ampersand (&) must be displayed within a static control in a dialog box.

edit: also works on buttons

Yes, good stuff... But I am dissapointed in myself, I was thinking do I really want to type the extra 11 characters... how sad is that!
