Hi Mick,

Oh, yes, you are correct. This is because the default setting in Control
Panel -> Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> "Hide underlined
letter for keyboard navigation" is checked, so the underscore will be
displayed only when we pressed "Alt"(only when you pressed "Alt" key, the
DrawItemEventArgs.State will not have DrawItemStates.NoAccelerator flag).

So, we should use DrawItemEventArgs.State to get if windows wanted the
underscore through NoAccelerator flag, if needed, just paint with
HotkeyPrefix.Show.

Best regards,
