      Hi, Sorry to say but I am not very clear about the issue you are facing. I would like to confirm whether you are using Mnemonics as short keys. If yes, then I would like to mention that Mnemonics gets activated when we press the Alt+ (underlined character). For example if you have defined the caption (Text) of a Button as “Click Me” (note the underlined C here). The button will be clicked automatically when user presses Alt+C. If this is the behavior you are facing then please know that it is a default behavior. I hope this helps. Please let me know if I have missed something.

        This is a system setting and has nothing to do with your code. Right-click a blank area on your desktop and pick Properties. On Windows 2000, under the Effects tab, you'll find "Hide keyboard navigation idicators until I press the Alt key". For Windows XP, it's under the Appearance tab, Effects button.

          You got my point. Thank you so much for reply. This is possible by small setting in system. The option given works.
