The following properties accept/return HKeyPrefix values:

• TextOptions.HotkeyPrefix

Remarks

The HKeyPrefix enumerator values are accepted by the TextOptions.HotkeyPrefix property. This property allows you to specify how the “&” character in an item caption should be interpreted: as a symbol that makes the following character a hotkey, as a regular character that should be displayed as is, or as a placeholder that should be completely ignored.
