Microsoft underlines the first thing following an ampersand. According
to this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q113490/
... you can get around this by using "Stop&&Shop" rather than
"Stop&Shop" as your menu item. (I haven't tried this, but since MS
is
the one doing the underlining, I'm assuming they'll also correctly
interpret the && :-)
Hope this helps!

When I attempt to display the ampersand (&) in a Label the character
doesn't display, but underlines the following character. Is there
something special I need to do here? E.g., attempting to display (without
the quotes) "Stop&Shop" , what gets displayed is "StopShop.
Any ideas?

Thanks Andrew, that did the job, is it just a Windows Mobile issue? It
works fine on XP. I hate to have to process every character I display
before assigning it. Not only that, but now I need to keep track of the
OS I'm running on as well... Not to mention the fact that String

I would have expected this to happen on all Windows platforms - and I'm
a little surprised that you don't see it on XP as well. Are you using
the same version of VM / class libraries on both? I know the 5.7 stream
talks to native widgets in a different way than the 6.1 stream. So a fix
might simply be to move to the stream that you find more appropriate, if
you have that option.
