Hi,
i have developed a application under Windows 2000. It doesn't show the menu shortcut key until unless i don't press the Alt key. if i press Alt key, it shows my all shortcut keys like File(F with underscore). i need to display the shortcut keys always like the Windows-95 and NT.

thanks,
J.Mahesh.

and you can disable it only using win2k "Display" manager you find in control panel, and selecting tab "Effects" and unchecking the last option. Sorry, did not find a way to do it by code...

HKCU\ Control Panel\ Desktop\ UserPreferencesMask contains a REG_BINARY value which changes one single bit.

Hope that helps.

Windows 2000 and XP (and probably Win ME as well) standard settings does not show those lines. You have to change the properties.

Windows 2000

Open the display settings, choose register 'Effects', then unmark the bottom checkbox called 'Hide keyboard navigation indicators until I use the Alt key'.


Windows XP

Open the display settings, choose register 'Appearance', press the button 'Effects' and then unmark the bottom checkbox called 'Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key'.


After that everything will work the way you want...
