> Ampersands in button labels don't create an accelerator

This is a feature of the Windows common controls, not anything VB specific, so perhaps why it was missed.

Well, VB subclassed the Windows common controls for the most part (and their class names all's contained Thunder, so when I wanted to know whether an application was made in VB, I looked at a button with Spy++).

That being said, technically the controls and VB of course don't have to be linked that closely. In this case they're Avalonia controls anyway that just expose different properties.

Nonetheless, a critical part of mimicking the VB6 developer experience.
Certainly, not going to argue that.
