Char "&" is not shown as CAPTION with DCPUSHBUTTON

[Leon Berger]

I have a problem with DCPUSHBUTTON and the char "&". The caption "&" is not shown on the button.

Code: Select all

@  50,450 DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION {||iif( lCaps,"&","6") } FONT cFont SIZE 80,80 PIXEL ;

Code: Select all

@  50,450 DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION {||iif( lCaps,chr(38),"6") } FONT cFont SIZE 80,80 PIXEL ;

Is there a solution to show the char "&"?

do you have Ampersand "underscore" when using any Menu ?

Windows default is disable so so need to enable it under "easy Access" -> Keyboard
here a Picture, sorry German

If you want to see an ampersand in the caption, you need to use a double ampersand.

DCPUSHBUTTON CAPTION 'Larry && Mike'

Thank you Roger

And what about the char ";" ? This is the char for a new line. Is it possible to use CAPTION like ";" ?

I hadn't thought about that. It appears that you need that character for your touch keyboard.
This will require a change to the source code in _DCXBUTT.PRG. With the below change you will be able to use a double semi-colon to represent the character.

Line 1193

WAS:

Code: Select all

  IF Valtype(cCaption) == 'C' .AND. (';' $ cCaption .OR. Chr(13) $ cCaption)
    cCaption := DC_TokenArray(cCaption,';'+Chr(13))
  ENDIF

IS:

Code: Select all

  IF Valtype(cCaption) == 'C'
   IF  ';;' $ cCaption
     cCaption := Strtran(cCaption,';;',';')
   ELSEIF ';' $ cCaption .OR. Chr(13) $ cCaption
     cCaption := DC_TokenArray(cCaption,';'+Chr(13))
   ENDIF
  ENDIF

Perfect, thank you Roger
