Its a windows settting. If you don't want to change the windows setting, then don't use the Windows LAF. The Metal LAF works fine.

Hi,

I am using

to set our all swing base windows look and feel, But the thing is we have already set mnemonic to all our windows menu and some of buttons also. But I am unable to find mnemonic at my menu and button.

If I change windows setting then I got the solution but I don't want that solution. Let me know if your want more clarification on this.

Thanks, Nishan Patel

you could try html, but sounds like it'll be a lot of modification work, if you have many

JMenuItem open = new JMenuItem("Open");
becomes
JMenuItem open = new JMenuItem("<html>Open</html>");

[EDIT]
OK, that posting attempt failed
supposed to read
"html tag~underline tag~O~close underline tag~pen~close html tag"

Are you using WinXP?
If yes, there is a setting somewhere which allows you to show/hide the mnemonics.

The reason its a Windows setting is because eash user can choose what they like.

If a user likes to see the mnemonic then they can change the Window setting, because it takes effect for all applications not just the one you write.

If a user doesn't like the mnemonic then they leave it as is.

You should NOT force your preferences on every user!
