UseMnemonic Property (UltraGroupBox)

Gets/sets a bool indicating if the first character preceded by an ampersand will be treated as the control's mnemonic key.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Property UseMnemonic As Boolean

C#

public bool UseMnemonic {get; set;}

Remarks

Providing a mnemonic key for the control can make it easier for the end-user to quickly navigate an application's user interface. When the mnemonic key of an UltraGroupBox is pressed the first activate-able child control with the lowest TabIndex will be activated.

Example

This snippet shows how to make use of the UseMnemonic property of the control.

Visual Basic

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

    ' Make the control's caption "Research & Development" with a slash under the 'R'.
    ' When the user hits Alt+R, the first child control in the tab order of the UltraGroupBox 
    ' will be activated.
    '
    Me.UltraGroupBox1.Text = "&Research && Development"
    Me.UltraGroupBox1.UseMnemonic = True

    ' Make the control's caption "Products" with a slash under the 'P'.
    ' When the user hits Alt+P, the UltraExpandableGroupBox's expanded 
    ' state will toggle and it will be activated.
    '
    Me.UltraExpandableGroupBox1.Text = "&Products"
    Me.UltraExpandableGroupBox1.UseMnemonic = True

End Sub

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
	// Make the control's caption "Research & Development" with a slash under the 'R'.
	// When the user hits Alt+R, the first child control in the tab order of the UltraGroupBox 
	// will be activated.
	//
	this.ultraGroupBox1.Text = "&Research && Development";
	this.ultraGroupBox1.UseMnemonic = true;

	// Make the control's caption "Products" with a slash under the 'P'.
	// When the user hits Alt+P, the UltraExpandableGroupBox's expanded 
	// state will toggle and it will be activated.
	//
	this.ultraExpandableGroupBox1.Text = "&Products";
	this.ultraExpandableGroupBox1.UseMnemonic = true;
}
