https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Insert-Menu-Item-with-underscore/m-p/163061#M96889 Are you trying to get a menu item to be selected by an Alt key combination? Placing an underscore "_", before any letter in the Item Name will cause an underscore to appear under the subsequent letter (not previous) and allow Alt + the underscored letter to active that menu item. For example, J_unk will appear as Junk with an underscore under u and ALT + u will activate the Junk menu. <BR /> Thu, 11 Nov 2004 20:28:27 GMT Dennis_Knutson 2004-11-11T20:28:27Z https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Insert-Menu-Item-with-underscore/m-p/163060#M96888 When I insert menu items that have underscores it underlines the previous letter rather than showing underscore.

Is there away to show file names with underscores in the name? <BR /> Thu, 11 Nov 2004 20:59:50 GMT https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Insert-Menu-Item-with-underscore/m-p/163062#M96890 festo 2004-11-11T20:59:50Z https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Insert-Menu-Item-with-underscore/m-p/163063#M96891 Okay, I see what you're trying now. What you can try is putting an underscore, underscore as the first two characters in the itme name. It seems like the menu editor will then ignore any subsequent underscores as special and just treat it as a character. <BR /> Thu, 11 Nov 2004 22:16:26 GMT https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Insert-Menu-Item-with-underscore/m-p/163063#M96891 Dennis_Knutson 2004-11-11T22:16:26Z https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Insert-Menu-Item-with-underscore/m-p/163064#M96892 festo <X> wrote in message news:&lt;50650000000800000053010100-1079395200000@exchange.ni.com&gt;...<BR />&gt; When I insert menu items that have underscores it underlines the<BR />&gt; previous letter rather than showing underscore.
