Ok, I'm assuming you mean ...

When creating a Windows control that has a caption, how can I get '&' to show up
in the caption? Whenever I try, it just underlines the next character instead of
displaying the '&'.

Use '&&' (two ampersands) instead. Windows will replace the two with a one.

Normally, the '&' is used to tell the application which letter is the 'hot key'
for the control so to override this Windows needs to see two adjancent
ampersands.
