RadioButton problem

[mack]

There may be a design error in the VB 2005 Radio Button: Label a button
"RadioButton&x" (x or any other letter) where "&" denotes that the alt-x key
combination is supposed to evoke the button. With VB 2005, the button
responds to the letter without simultaneously pressing alt. This causes a
problem... if the user presses that key for any unrelated reasons, the
button click is evoked... not usable. Was this an error on the part of MS?

Mack,

There is a special part on Connect Microsoft for this.

This behavior is by design, and it will only work if a control which does
not expect character input like a textbox has the focus.
