Hi!
I put an & to make an AccessKey in the text property of a Button in MyForm
using the & before the first letter of the text, for example &Spin. I see in
the design mode the S underlined but not in the runtime. Nevertheless the
button is working well when I press the S key! Any suggestion?

This behavior is by design starting with Windows 2000.

Yeah there is a windows setting to change this.

Right click desktop
Properties
Appearance

Hide ....[something or other] unless ALT is pressed.

by default you need to press ALT to show the underlines

Ioannis,

At least with Windows XP there is an option to hide the underlined letters
until the user presses the Alt key.

This setting can be found here:

Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key
