"&" 's do not show in sys tray Tool Tip

28th September 2000, 03:18

If there are any &'s in a song title, these do not show properly when you view the tooltip for the sys tray icon

The reason for this is that '& ' is treated as a control character by windows (..or it could be just VB)

You can see this by naming a song "&&", it will appear on the tooltip as "&"....... "&&&" as "&&" etc

This probably applies to all systray tooltips though, not just WA or VB apps..

it's just a little one, but hey =)

It's a really old problem as i see. I just recognized this problem my self. If a title has '&' in it, the systray tooltip shows '&&'.
