ExtMsgBox Ignoring "&"

[TheDcoder]

Hello, I am using Melba23's ExtMsgBox UDF

Code:

_ExtMsgBox(64, "Test & Taste" & '|' & "Lick the Lemon", "Taste Test", "Please decide...")

Result:

How can I display the "&" in the first button?

Thanks in Advance, TD

And the question is?

Post updated

Can you please give us as much information as possible when posting a question?

Or do you expect us to download Melba's UDF and check the purpose of each parameter?

[water]

As with all other controls you should double the & to get it displayed.

[guinness]

Try && OR use Chr() and whatever the code is for &?

The code used in they question is actually a decoy to make things easy

I tend to agree with water, before the update your issue made literally no sense. This is not the first time and surely won't be the last you post like this.

TheDcoder,

If you look at the example scripts I provide with the ExtMsgBox UDF, the first one actually shows how to get an "&" into the button text in lines #90-106:

Case $hButton3

    ; Set the message box right justification, colours (yellow text on blue background) and change font
    _ExtMsgBoxSet(1, 2, 0x004080, 0xFFFF00, 10, "Comic Sans MS")

    $sMsg  = "This is centred on 'EMB Test' with an Exclamation icon, 2 buttons, wrapped right justified coloured text, "
    $sMsg &= "coloured background, no Taskbar button and TOPMOST set" & @CRLF & @CRLF
    $sMsg &= "Note you can get && in button text" & @CRLF ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    $sMsg &= "and neither button is set as default" & @CRLF & @CRLF
    $sMsg &= "It will not time out"

    ; Use $MB_ constant
    $iRetValue = _ExtMsgBox ($EMB_ICONEXCLAM, "One Way|To && Fro", "Test 3", $sMsg, 0, $hTest_GUI) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    ConsoleWrite("Test 3 returned: " & $iRetValue & @CRLF)

    ; Reset to default
    _ExtMsgBoxSet(Default)
