John,

Hi. Thanks. I will check out the class in FFC. I know you must be wondering, what am I thinking, why go through all the craziness with the invisible button, when I can just put the code in the click of the label. In the back of my mind I had the notion that I might not just want to click underlined text with the mouse, but that I might also want to just underline one letter, via '\
Also, ff I was going to do this, I was thinking that I would attempt to make the 'hotkey' a different color than the rest of the underlined text, since the hotkey is usually just identified by being underlined, and in this case all the text would be underlined. This is all to satify one user who is big on this stuff. Which brings me to another question. Can I control color 'within a label' or other element that is set via forecolor. In other words when you set forecolor for a label you set it for the whole label. How can I vary the text color within the label. I don't want to resort to creating one label for each color change.

This works ok for grey background. But, you can't (at least without difficulty I think) change the backcolor of a command button. (there were some threads on this - regarding windows color scheme - that I have yet to fully understand)
