[Solved] Is this behavior intentional or a bug?

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. TLabel treats '&' as if it is a TMenu item causing the '&' to be invisible and char that follows it to be underlined
2. whereas TEdit displays '&' as the ampersand character itself.
3.  

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
2. begin
3.   Label1.caption:= '&'+'A';
4.   Edit1.Caption := '&'+'A';
5. end;
6.

It's called an accelerator or shortcut.

@dsiders Thank you for your reply, however I knew that. That is why I mentioned that it was acting
like a Tmenu item (as an accelerator). My question, more succinctly, then is

"are TLabels supposed to be implementing accelerators as if it is a TMenu?"

And now I see that I NEVER KNEW TLabels had that functionality
T.Y.

TLabel has property FocusControl where you can set some Edit, Combo etc. which is then focused when you use the accelerator.
If you need to display & in TCaption just write there double &, like "you && me".
