How to disable accelerator keys (&) in TreeView node text?
« on: January 25, 2011, 12:38:37 am »
I am using a TreeView to navigate a category table from an SQL server. The accelerator keys are a pain when loading the categories if they include an ampersand in the name; such as "Trucks & Loaders", it shows up as "Trucks _Loaders".

I have searched and haven't found a way to cancel them. I am hoping someone around here can point me in the right direction.

In my search for an answer, I learned that for labels I can use:

Label1.ShowAccelChar := False;

Anyone?

The issue here is that I can have it show the '&' with a double '&&' but when it comes time to rename the category the '&&' has to be dealt with again. I fear that coding around this is just a kludge and unnecessary.

There has to be a way to turn it off.

Report a bug, IMO it shouldn't draw accelerators there
