Had I been actually setting the StaticText manually, instead of on-the-fly dynamically, I agree the Tip Palette probably should have notified me. However, I tried to create a new blank app and do basically the same thing, but hardcoding the value, and the most the tip pallet would venture is "hit tab to give RB a chance to guess what your typing". Not to mention searching the language reference returned nothing for the ampersand character. Searching for the actual word ampersand did return it's signifigance in the StaticText control, but it ommitted how to escape it's function.

One would think that an "Ampersand" in a string should be treated differently at runtime as these doubling up things are usually done in the IDE.

Feature request or Bug report???

PS. I am anticipating flack about Windows StaticTexts and Dynamic Menus for windows.
