VB Forum / General 2 / January 2005

hi group,
i've been struggling with this one for a couple of months now on a fairly
large project. couldn't find anything remotely connected to this
show-stopper.

Anyone know a way that I can reset all labels in a procedure (properties)
'UseMnemonic' to 'False' without having to set each one individually?
Reason is that I need to place captions into many labels (about 60) which
include the ampersand '&' character.

How can you create a label that displays the length of time that the
form has been loaded for, so if it has been loaded/visible for 1min,
2secs and 34 miliseconds it would display it like: 01:02:34?
Thanks.

If I create a new (VB5 Learning edition) project in a particular

I understand why this happens (I think), but what should I do before ...

grazie
