Instead of the given string the content of the button is shown without the first underscore, in the example as 'CTSRV_ERROR_700'.
Pressing 'Alt' the first underscore appears as a shortcut key, that means the 'S' is underlined.
I would like to have the content as is, that means with the first '_' shown. Shortcut keys are not necessary and not desired.
Could you please help me?
Thanks.

In order not to have an access key you have to escape the "_" symbol in the RadButton's content. The way to escape the underscore symbol is to put another one before it. In your case you need to put double "_" on every place you want a single underscore, because if you make only the first "_" double then the content will look like 'CT_SRVERROR_700' and "E" will be the short key.
Please give this approach a try and write us back if you have more questions.

Hi,
Is there a way to stop considering '_' short key representation?
In our application, we are generating context menu dynamically based on the user entries. So, user wants to the show the entered text(for example Test_1) as it is in context menu instead Test1.

The functionality of the "_" character turning the next letter into an access key comes from the RecognizesAccessKey property of the ContentPresenter. The ContentPresenter inside the ControlTemplate of the RadMenuItem has its RecognizesAccessKey property set to True.
With this in mind, you can consider extracting and updating the ControlTemplate of the RadMenuItem to set the RecognizesAccessKey property of the ContentPresenter inside it to False. Alternatively, you can also obtain a reference to the ContentPresenter when a menu item is loaded via the ChildrenOfType extension method and set its property like that.
