Ignoring Shortcuts in VB.NET

[Audax321]

Hello,

 

I had a question regarding shortcut keys in VB:

 

Let's say you have a listbox containing the following items:

 

THIS
IS
A
LIST
OF
STUFF
IN
A
LISTBOX
& NOT
A
TEXTBOX

 

And then I decide to make a context menu that dynamically creates menu items with the corresponding same text properties at runtime. So, there are 12 menu items each with a text property set to one of the words above. The menu therefore looks like this:

 

THIS
IS
A
LIST
OF
STUFF
IN
A
LISTBOX
_NOT
A
TEXTBOX

 

Notice how the '& NOT' turned into '_NOT'. Is there a way to have VB .NET ignore the & symbol when changing the text property of a menuitem to a name that contains it???? And by ignore I don't mean I want to remove the & symbol from the name, but I want to keep it, just not have it make a _shortcut command.......

 

 

Thanks...

IIRC you can use a double & (so && Not) should display as & Not
