Ampersand in caption
« on: January 22, 2019, 05:25:04 pm »
Greetings all, I'm new to InForm.  I'm trying to use something like "C&E" in a label caption and the ampersand is not appearing, instead is comes across as a tiny underscore between the C and E.  How can I make this work?  Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

Thanks for your interest in InForm and QB64.

To force an ampersand to show, you can manually edit the frm file and change the line from:

SetCaption __UI_NewID, "C&E"

to

Caption(__UI_NewID) = "C&E"
