    <p>I have a WPF conundrum. I want some text to look like this:</p> <blockquote> <p>Enter this <strong>preparer's</strong> info: [ComboBox]</p> </blockquote> <p>Alt+E is the access key that focuses the ComboBox, and when Alt is pressed, the E in the text should be underlined.</p> <p>I can get the access key to work easily:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Label Target="{Binding ElementName=PreparerComboBox}"&gt; _Enter this preparer's info:&lt;/Label&gt; </code></pre> <p>But then "preparer's" can't be bold because a Label doesn't support Runs (as far as I can tell). </p> <p>I can do the bolding easily in a TextBlock:</p> <pre><code>&lt;TextBlock&gt;Enter this &lt;Bold&gt;preparer's&lt;/Bold&gt; info:&lt;/TextBlock&gt; </code></pre> <p>But there's no access key defined, so I tried adding my AccessText inside the TextBlock:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Label Target="{Binding ElementName=PreparerComboBox}"&gt; &lt;TextBlock&gt; &lt;AccessText&gt;_Enter&lt;/AccessText&gt; this &lt;Bold&gt;preparer's&lt;/Bold&gt; info: &lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/Label&gt; </code></pre> <p>But then the AccessText doesn't line up properly with the rest of the text in the TextBlock, and Margin doesn't seem to have any effect on it.</p> <p>Example: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CPROF.png" alt="alt text"></p> <p>The best I've come up with so far is this <em>monstrosity</em>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Label Target="{Binding ElementName=PreparerComboBox}"&gt; &lt;WrapPanel&gt; &lt;AccessText&gt;_E&lt;/AccessText&gt; &lt;TextBlock&gt;nter this &lt;Bold&gt;preparer's&lt;/Bold&gt; info:&lt;/TextBlock&gt; &lt;/WrapPanel&gt; &lt;/Label&gt; </code></pre> <p>What am I missing here? Seems like there has to be an easier way.</p>

    3. CODid your access key show the underline under the letter? I have turned this on in Windows (to always show the mnemonic underlined) and the access key is working and setting the target's focus appropriately, but I don't see any underline under the access key's letter.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
