2557.0. "Special characters in caption property" by NUBOAT::HEBERT (Captain Bligh) Wed May 14 1997 16:01

Is there a way to insert special characters into a label.caption
property?

By "special characters" I mean ASCII symbols for copyright, registered,
TM, and so forth... I tried <Alt>0169 for the copyright circle. 

You can set this at run time with lblFOO.caption = "Copyright " & chr(169),
but I want to do it at design time, in the caption property.

It works for me.
Keep <Alt> pressed throughout, and use the keypad numbers.
Maybe you are using a font that doesnt support these characters?

MS Sans Serif.

I tried it on VB4 and it worked. Unfortunately, I'm developing in VB5-A.

Maybe it's a bug.
