Hi,

I need the button label contains with “&”, but it turns out be “_”. How can I add “OK & Continue” to a button label?

Thank you.

Hi,
I guess, there is some kind of escaping needed; (there might be some
clash due to the key accelerators)
Doubling the ampersand character produces visually the needed button label:
bt.SetLabel(u" OK && Continue")

Out of curiosity, is there some special meaning to the & character? Why
does it need to be escaped?

self.fileMenu.Append(ID_NEW_FILE, "&New file", "Creates a XYZ document")

Yes it makes it an 'accelerator' (not sure of the term), i.e. after that you could do "alt+n" to access the menu option "New File".
