Invalidate Method Problem

[wdhough]

The problem I have is I am trying to set a string in a label to equal '&whatever'. I am trying to place headers and footers into my application and have a dialog box that comes up allowing you to put stuff in on the left, centre and right. Once you have finished doing this you click 'ok' which updates the header and footers dialog box underneath it. I suspect the problem may be in the call to invalidate, (so that the whole window is re-drawn next time), however i am aware that had the problem existed before the invalidate call then I would not have known about it, until the call to Invalidate.

The problem is when you type '&whatever' in the string

the & sign is removed and the first letter of the string is underlined.

Its a long shot that its Invalidate's fault but, has any one come across this before?


Many thanks

use
if it's a CString type just go through this.

CString str ="&str";

now u can see value of str = &str

and i din't found any of the problem

first use "&whatever" not '&whatever'

if not just put your code.

If you need to escape the '&' character for a menu item or a label you may use a double "&&"
E.g. "&&whatever" should show "&whatever"
