Label, Editbox and Mnemonic

There is a label and an editbox.

How do I add a mnemonic to the label?
Label.Caption := "&Test";
This does not produce an underlined T.

How do I link the label mnemonic to activate the exitbox?

I can see, this work in design time but doesn"t work in runtime. I already ran into it, seems it work really for menus, buttons, checkboxes:

function SupportMnemonics: PControl;
{* This method provides supporting mnemonic keys in menus, buttons, checkboxes, toolbar buttons. }

Thanks. I do use SupportMnemonics but I cannot get it to work as needed with the label/editbox. What would be good is a component like the VCL"s TLabeledEdit. Has anyone been able to create such a component?

OK - I shall continue testing to try to create a component.
But why using Label.Caption := "&Test" does not produce an underlined T - is it possible?

I found that I can create underlined letters by changing the label style:
Label := NewLabel(Applet,"&Test"); Label.Style := Label.Style and not SS_NOPREFIX;
Now I just need it to accept the mnemonic ie ALT+Letter...

Wow! as it turned out, it"s quite simply! :) We can hardly wait for new component!
