Re: Proving an MS standard
When a popup window has Yes and No buttons, I usually type Y or N instead of
using my mouse or pressing Enter for the active key activation. Our software
doesn't accept a Y or N. I told the developers to change it so it does as,
like it or not, Microsoft is our standard interface. The developers want me
to prove that this is a standard.
I agree with Sean that it might not be worth pressing the issue. But for the sake of argument...
In Win 98, when you log off of a profile, you get that very message with the Y and N hot keys/mnemonics. From what I recall, if you're developing in Visual Studio and use the standard objects for message controls, the Y and N hot keys are automatically assigned (at least, in VB they are).
