Ampersand character showing up as _

[Dan Harvey]

I am setting the text on a label based upon what a user types into a textbox.  Is the user types in the phrase "Dan & Co." the label will display "Dan _Co.".  How do I escape this character??

Thanks,

[Dan Harvey]

This was solved, string.replace("&","&&")

Hi dan harvey,

Indeed, this is one of the options that you have.

When the UseMnemonic property is true, you need to use a second '&' if you want to display '&' instead of '_'. However, in case you do not want to place a second '&', you can just set the UseMnemonic property to false and your single '&' will be displayed as '&'.

Best wishes,
