Hello,

In TestSay2.prg i changed

@ 2, 2 SAY oSay PROMPT "Test"

in

@ 2, 2 SAY oSay PROMPT "Test & Test"

The appersand (&) is not showed.

I remember that in xbrowse we had to change a line in Defstyle :

nStyle := nOr( DT_MODIFYSTRING, DT_EDITCONTROL, DT_NOPREFIX )

I tryed this on a say object without succes.

It seems that to draw the text the program uses 'SetWindowText(<hWnd> , <cText>) '

Also when we use

ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED ON INIT SetWindowText( oSay:hWnd, "TTTTT & TTTTT" )

the appersand is not showed.

Please use double && instead of single &.

Enrica , thanks it works BUT :

Mine custumer fills some character fields in a DBF with "......&........." .

Using XBROWSE , this is not a problem , the text is show as expected . Also when this text is edited (using GET) no problem. Only when we want to show the text in a say we have to check this text and add some '&' . At least very confusing and onlogical !

The ampersand is used to define hotkeys. This is usually used in menus, but I expect it can be used in SAYs also.
