How to get ampersand (&) into button text

[paulb]

I am trying to get an '&' character into the text of a button control, I can do this from the resource editor ok using "&&" but not programatically, i.e. btn.SetWindowText("Save && Exit"); doesn't work?! (nor does using just a single &)

Try this: CString csTemp; csTemp.Format(_T("Save \x26 Exit")); btn.SetWindowTexct(&csTemp); INTP

Never mind I found the problem... it does actually work using "&&" in the string if you use a standard button control, but the custom button control I am using apparently is not handling the & correctly. thanks anyway.
