ampersand as part of button label

[shibumenon]

rollout unnamedRollout "Untitled" width:158 height:104
(
button btn_MM "M&M" pos:[14,25] width:125 height:35
)

createDialog unnamedRollout


works fine

as aaaaCHoooo mentioned, should be fine on buttons.

On labels (and possibly some other controls), use '&&' instead; a single '&' gets interpreted as being a (useless, as it can't actually be invoked as such) hotkey tag otherwise

Aha! Thanks, Richard. That was driving me crazy.

@ is non printing character. Please use \x40 for it.
example:
label lbl1 "\x40" pos:[30,21] width:93 height:45

Ah. Thank you, Susanta. I take there's list of these somewhere in the MAXScript Reference?

[susanta]

there is this nice code on maxscript reference under String Literals topic which printout all of them.

char="0123456789abcdef"
for i=1 to char.count do
for j=1 to char.count do
(
s=execute("\"\\x"+char[i]+char[j]+"\"")
format "%% %\n" char[i] char[j] s
)

cheers
