Does anybody know how to underline a character on a
tabcontrol's tab name, as in VB6 &Cancel will show a
shortcut underlined "C". Obviously you cannot do this
on .net tab.

What I want is to show shortcut underlined character so
that user will be able to use alt+'key' to switch the tab
pages.

I've created a shortcut by using form event handler. I
need to show some sign on the tab name and let user know
what the shortcut is.

Did you see that in any other Windows application? I didn't see that.
Why not define menu items with shortcuts to provide this functionality?
 
We have been doing that for years. Using a menu to enable
the shortcut doesn't solve Frank's problem totally. It
will support the "hot key" or shortcut and provide an
event to manage the tabs but it lacks the visual cue he
wants to provide his users.
