access key functionality and windows representation setting on button
Author: tmedeiros@blinco.com (t5medeiros)
Hi,
We have modified our application so the buttons will look like XP/vista style buttons by setting the representation property of a button to Windows. When we do this we lose the access key functionality on the button (ie use the % symbol in the text for a button to indicate the Alt+"character following the %" combination to activate the command button). Our users like the new button look but are use to using the access key combinations on a screen. If we switch back to using the Uniface representation for the button, the access keys work fine.
Is there any setting I need to get the access keys to work with the Windows button representation or is this function not support? Has anyone had this problem and/or developed some work around functionality?
Thanks, Tony

Hi Tony,
unfortunately, this is a documented behaviour.
The Uniface Button style provides additional functionality other styled don't.
So you can decide what is more important for you.
Success, Uli
